UPDATE: Bruno's Inside the Game LIVE is up. T.J. and Danny are starting.
When the Knicks used to come to town in the the '90s, it was easy to think, time to buckle up because the game was going to be intense and tough for 48 minutes. Ten years later, you still need to buckle up for a Knicks visit but that's because of the pace both the Pacers and Knicks prefer to play these days.
The Knicks have won two in a row and five of their last six, so the Pacers will need their best effort to extend their home win streak to nine. Danny Granger will be a game-time decision and even if he plays, probably will run for limited minutes.
Here are the Pacers.com Matchups. T.J. Ford appears set to take over his starting position again.

Laser 3 from Granger
gets the scoring started from Pacers. Serious line drive.
So the Knicks center, Jared Jeffries has been guarding TJ Ford.
Only in America.

that's d'antoni's favorite gimmick.
jeffries has done work against rondo, nash, andre miller…everybody. it has its moments.

It's perfect against the Pacers
with no post threat.

NYK up 16-14
Crazy pace. Pacers need to make a few more shots. 6-17 so far.

nba.com says 5-9
That might be generous.

You're right
probably closer to 5’6"

Might as well try to create a mismatch with Roy in the middle

Ack
Down 16 as the 3-ball barrage continues

I imagine the shooting percentages will even out a bit

Hibbert offering some good defense
disrupted a couple of jumpers
by Tom Lewis on Jan 31, 2009 7:56 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I’m fine with Hibbert but JOB’s lack of a rotation is insane

The ball is moving like a tennis game
Making my head hurt.

NYK up 67-55 at half
Knicks had 8 3s in the second quarter.
Better check on Q Richardson’s season high if this keeps up.

Knicks won the 2nd qtr...
maybe the Pacers will buck the trend and win the 3rd quarter. I’m off to wash dishes.

WOW
a shot clock violation! Didn’t think there’d be any of those tonight.

Lead at 12
Granger back out there to give it a go. Nice and 1. The guy has no lift though.
Wish Quisy was available.

Quisy out again? I don't think he scored any points in the last 2 games though

His grandfather passed away
He had to go to Orlando today. He showed up at halftime.
by Tom Lewis on Jan 31, 2009 8:40 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He has certainly been struggling since his injury

Pacers refusing to get blown out though
at least so far
by erikindiana on Jan 31, 2009 8:45 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
NYK up 99-87 after 3
Pacers lingering around, just doesn’t feel like they have enough for the Knicks tonight.
Hope I’m wrong.
by Tom Lewis on Jan 31, 2009 8:45 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
5:47 left
NYK up 12 with 2 FTs coming to TJ.
If only Granger could muster up a couple of big minutes.
by Tom Lewis on Jan 31, 2009 9:03 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
There's one Danny
Down to 8.
Granger was able to use some momentum from running to get enough juice on that 3-ball.
Last gasp.

Knicks have been giving plenty of opportunities to comeback
Probably wasted too many of them.
by Tom Lewis on Jan 31, 2009 9:07 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Too bad
Let too many chances get away. Tons of opportunities and they just couldn’t get over that hump tonight. Nothing to do but get rested and ready for Minnesota.

Even after all these years, I still hate losing to the Knicks.
