Wrong. No team plays flawless basketball. Nobody. Lin must stay aggressive. Damn the turnovers. Play tough defense.

43

Last game against Miami, NY attempted 43 three point shots. Bill Walker hoisted 7 of those. We lost by 10.

That ain't happening tonight.

Is tonight on TNT or ESPN?

I can't wait to see him doing the belt thing after he sinks 3 3s in a row!!!
I want to see Daily News run a headline story: "Are the big 3 in Miami enough to contain Linsanity?" LoL
It will be soooooo sweet if we beat these punks.
Go Knicks!

TNT

guns, where are you? We are getting food!

They don't, they really don't kill us.

Or, at the least, we can't say with certainty that they kill us.

It's a complex system, the hoops game on the hardwoods. If he doesn't get the turnovers, maybe his style is not the same, and if his style is not the same, he doesn't have the same impact?

Lin has to play his game, you hope he doesn't turn it over, but at the same time I won't say he kills us with 5 turnovers a game if he gets 2 back and makes everyone else on the floor feel so good about themselves.

I don't want him to stop being aggressive, just better ball security, 5 TO's can lead to 12 miami points..those dudes live for TO's..bron and wade are always leaking out, throwing aaron rodgers like passes..

Tonights TnT games should be a preview of the eastern and western conference finals..don't ya think

Not so fast. Chicago is very good and Boston is always dangerous. This game is an opportunity to see how much a back-to-back affects energy on defense. The playoffs are a long way off.

We need to get back in transition. The Heat live for the fastbreak; it gets them going. Must take quality shots in the offense and limit the amount of 3's we hoist up. Long bounds and the Heat will be off and running. Moreso than offense, Melo really needs to get into Lebron on defense and make him work. I expect the James and Anthony match-up to be even if not more shaded in Lebrons favor, so we need someone off the bench to lift us up, (JR?).

This would be a great time for Amare to have a vintage game. Also, we have an advantage at the point, need Lin to feast in the paint.

LOL! Forgot about the belt thing. Would love to see Novak do that in their house.

lets get it on!

LETS GO! 9.5 GAMES BACK! TIME TO CATCH UP

time to beat the heat

hells yeah

What we need to do is: SLOW IT DOWN AND POUND IT IN

It would be great if Aare had a monster game.

so much intensity!

The Heat's uptempo offense is intense.
