The prevailing thought is that the Knicks will roll over the Pacers in round 2 to get to the Eastern Conference Finals. Hold on just a second. The Pacers won the season series 2-1 and shot nearly 50% from 3pt range in the three games. The Knicks are just 14th in the playoffs in 3-point field goals allowed per game. The Pacers are averaging 14 3-point field goals per game in the playoffs, good for second behind Boston. They are also first in the fewest turnovers. The Knicks will dominate the glass but the Pacers can shoot themselves in this game. I'll take the points in the opener.
