[Fudge]

Felton's gotta hit those. You can't get anymore open than that.

[Patrick Chewing]

Refs have ruined this game for both sides. Slowed the game down to a crawl.

[bluechox2]

That's the key. Knicks getting called for ticky-tack, and the Grizz are just hacking away. If not for that, this is a 10 point game.

They took Melo out with a couple BS calls.

Gave the Grizz a bunch of BS techs.

Gave Melo no calls all night long.

They completely f*cked this game in the ass.

Why is it surprising that the Knicks front court is in foul trouble? Hollins came in with a great gameplan to take advantage of the Knicks lack of a true PF. Grizz have been pounding it into the paint relentlessly, it's not a shock that the Knicks are in foul trouble.

Knicks won't be elite until they can start rebounding. Tough, physical teams will smash them in the Playoffs.

[Clutch]

We had a great game in the first half and then refs took over and said "look,we don't want to see any quality basketball. let's call everything while also helping a home team so the game can get even more boring"

It's not so much that we're going to lose. It's the way we're going to lose. It's tough when you know that if you haven't played small you would still be in the game. It's tough when you know that if the refs haven't taken over you would still be in the game.

[blacknapalm]

lol @ thomas' death stare to the ref

[Y2Gezee]

Goes to show that they really need Melo to initiate their offense. Which is why they need Amare

[Burgz V2]

grizzlies are playing great, knicks arent playing bad but they are getting beasted inside, they cant keep letting the memphis bigs do those hand off passes when they get stuck in traffic anymore

[brandonislegend]

Pound the paint.

[Clutch]

Does anyone know duration of the 3rd quarter ? I guess it somewhere around 40 minutes.
