    "Ain’t nobody scared of the Heat."-Amare Stoudamire prior to the game.

    Don’t forget that their 2nd and 3rd guys Felton and Chandler played HORRENDOUS. Way to back it up Amare. Make em pay for taking Bosh over you.

    Ever heard of punctuation? Anyway yeah Lebron played pretty bad. Wade had 14 straight FGs at one point. But their offense was so stagnant like you said, held the ball for the whole shot clock only to throw up bricks. Good win for the Knicks. I still think they shoot way too many 3’s…

    Exciting game. D-Wade was ON FIRE through the first 3 quaters, but cooled off in the 4th. One interesting stat was that even though he shot well from the field most of the game, he went 6-14 from the free-throw line. Very odd. I t also didn’t help that LeBron struggled. After Bosh got injured, he said that he would try to go into the post more, but I felt like he was forcing the post game too much tonight. He’s clearly not comfortable in the post and that’s not his game right now, so he shouldn’t have forced it down low so much.

    All the Heat basically do right now is ISO with Wade & LeBron, and that definitely won’t work in the playoffs against the Celtics. I guess I’m being a little too hard on them though since they don’t have Bosh, who was a key component to their success.

    Knicks were the better team today. Gallinari was the main reason they won. LeBron played bad, but he had excellent looks and wasn’t converting, as he usually does. Also, he is getting very underrated in the post, his post moves aren’t developed BUT he is so strong he backs his man all the way under the hoop for layups, and he is an excellent post passer

     Lebron was struggling but kept shooting.  Surprised to see that, he never does that.

     LBJ was probably looking to show up the Knicks. You know he heard those comments Amare made and was probably looking to send a message. Message not delivered tonight.

    Hasn’t LeBron been doing that for years? I don’t know how that makes him underrated now. LeBron’s post game is unimpressive.

     This was a hard game to watch if you were a Heat fan. The Heat didn’t play any team basketball for most of the game, and even more so in crunch time. I even remember the announcers begging for Spolstra to call a time out and preach to those guys. Every time down the court LeBron or Wade just chucked it up, while on the other side the Knicks were looking for the best shot. If Wade and James are going to do that, they need to start hitting those threes and hero shots.

    Should be averaging 10 assists a game…..let wade be the primary scorer, you the primary facilitator……his stats should be looking more like 20-10-8 they’d be more lethal that way……much more.

    That was just ugly to watch in the 4th. It is what is is though.. Until the heat find some kind of offensive structure and each of them conform to playing specific roles, their halfcourt game is going to be bad, obviously. It really doesn’t matter much if the heat can run bad teams out of the gym because they aren’t going to be playing those teams come playoff time. At least they have their defense to fall back on…
