Game time is 3:30 p.m. ET. The Knicks are expected to come out ready to play hard basketball. Many believe the best thing they could have done was lose two games to the Boston Celtics. Had they swept the Celtics in four, then their heads would have been gassed with success and they would not have the mental capacity to deal with a Pacers team.
The Pacers are tough defensively, they almost broke Miami Heat last year as they led that series 2-1. However, one thing the Pacers lack is a pure scorer. Paul George carried them through the first couple of games, but fell silent towards the latter part of the series. David West seems to turn his engine on and off whenever he feels like it and George Hill isn't the type of guy who will take over a game, say like a Carmelo Anthony.
The Knicks have a stack of veterans facing a group of young, playoff savvy Pacer players. Both Knicks and Pacers finished right behind each other in the Eastern Conference standings. It's the No. 2 Knicks vs. No. 3 Pacers.
