we are missing two of our starters. Every time we play teh heat we are msising key people. At full strength we could beat the heat
WE WOULD HAVE BEAT THEM IF WE HAD PLAYED BASKETBALL IN HE LAST HALF OF THE 4TH q, WHATEVER WE WERE DOING OUT THERE, BASKETBALL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
yep. welp. would be different with Amar'e to play on Bosh.
Knicks needed a LOT more from Shump and Tyson today. both played well on defense, but not on offense from them.
42pts on two sundays in a row from Melo, but he needed more than one other guy in double figures today.

I think so too. Unfortunately, we don't have the possibility of being at full strength unless we make the 2nd round. 
At least we will ahve amare. Amare better come back for boston i mean i heard taht he is ready but is afraid to come back for boston but not for the nets. I mean he is getting paid a ton of money he need to get tough

doesn't trust? i don't think that's fair. he was passing... guys just weren't making plays.

I doubt Amare comes back at the beginning of a back to back.
Amare has to come back now...no excuses.

come on, man. they played fine. the heat are a better team. knicks are down some players and don't have the depth.
this wasn't the knicks not executing, it was the heat beating the knicks.

We need him bad!
Not upset about this game. Good fight..bad execution. Should have got Melo in the post more with cross screens when we were in the game. Novak missed plenty of open shots. Lots of awful fast breaks. Fields debacle. In spite of that we were still in the game.
tyson didnt have a great game but guys like novak cant rebound and jj is basically playing on one good leg

I think he meant the part of the game where Melo went Hero Ball.
Hope people now understand why Amare needs to play the 4..

JJ has not looked the same on D since the injury. The sad part is him injured is still an upgrade over post injury Jorts.

I disagree we didnt execute we missed a lot of open shots
You can't beat the better teams without some kind of efficient and smart offense. You can get stops and such, but the Heat, Bulls, Celtics will match us on D and we'll have to be much better at scoring the ball. ISO Melo can only get you so far against the playoff teams. I know some don't wanna hear this but it's the truth! You're not beating one of those teams in 7 games relying on ISO ball.

where else was melo gonna go? tyson and novak can't create their own shots, shump had 3pts on the day and looked either limited by his ankle or nervous. and JR was chucking, too. 4th qtr offense was all JR and Melo because no one else stepped up.
Landry again with the momentum changing offensive EFF ups, game totally turned once he got blocked by bosh.

You're right. It wasn't on Melo. He played outstanding hoops today.

We need a second scorer, that's why we lost.
Melo with 42 points and we only put 85 up on the board. He needs help. Miracle we hung in there as long as we did. Good fight today though, was worried we were going to bend over on national tv.
We need you, STAT - get well soon.
Hopefully we find our offense before the Boston game on Tuesday. Biggest game left on the schedule.
