Agonizing as a fan. My hoped resided on this game. Im about to not give a damn what they do in NY because I don't believe it will be enough. We have gone away from what made us winners of 18-6.

We really look like we're missing Shumpert this game.

I want the Miami Heat to lose Game 7 of the NBA Finals on a last-second desperation heave from Serge Ibaka.
JamesKPolk @ 4/30/2012 9:31 PM
Where is this vaunted defense there was talk about?

D'Antoni could have done the same shit and given us more offense. And I hate D'Antoni. We need a new coach.

gunsnewing @ 4/30/2012 9:31 PM
Yep hopes dashed tonight. Knicks will be lucky to get a game or two now

Lin comes back after being down 3-0 and Tears his ACL. BOOK IT!!

I have been defending Woody but this team lacked intensity on defense tonight.

And, if you wanna blame Amare for not closing out ONCE on switches, then sit the fuka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Miami knows that he won't close!

He has to stay focused and not let the crook-assed refs get to him.

Bosh hit a 3? Nah, man... we have to start butchering these fools. No one on the team seems to have the mindset to do that.
Where is the D?

Melo is really thrown off. He hasn't been able to shake off the frustration.

well, it has to be frustrating for a player to be playing his ass off and getting abused by the other team and the refs looking the other way.

i know you can say "blah blah play through it" but the knicks margin for error is razor thin without shumpert and against the heat in general.

if the refs are gonna stack the deck, it's over before it starts.

This game was lost from gameplanning. How are you not zoning on the heat? Even if you are not going to zone why are you playing up on Wade and Lebron? We are still going ISO Melo just not in the post as much(Adjustments!!!).

At least tonight I'm angrier at the team than I am at the officiating. I suppose that's...some kind of progress?

as much as I love Lin we wouldn't stand a chance with him either the way this series is going. And the way Amare is playing

It isn't Lin, it's not the refs, it's the fact that we are the inferior team. NYK is being exposed for the same problems we had under MDA right now. The roster is flawed or the coaching isn't using the players right.

Melo and Stat don't work together and the more I see them the more I think the issue is Amare. They just don't mix and Melo is clearly the star player. I doubt we can trade Stat but he will hold us back. The guy is a great player but he just doesn't produce for us when we NEED him to shine, and for $100 million you expect a lot more.

I am not sure I see Jax taking this job but you never know. Woody won't be back if this continues.

At least tonight we lost in the 3rd quarter instead of the 2nd. Lol I'd say yea progress. lol

gunsnewing @ 4/30/2012 9:34 PM
0-12 tied NBA record for most consecutive playoff Losses! WONDERFUL!!

miami is the spoiled, superficial and immature son of rich NBA. Im about done with this league. Closing moment as a fan of this. Why bother?

Agreed. I mean, if we lose fair and square, that's that. Bad officiating will get me riled up more.

I feel ya, bruh. It's hard to keep our heads up while watching the Knicks get beaten to the punch time and again- especially by the effin' Heat.

We will have no choice but to beat the living hell out of Miami in BOTH of the games @ MSG. It's the only way we can even make it a series at this point.

The 1st round is 2-2-1-1-1 or 2-3-2? I forgot the breakdown.

ATrain @ 4/30/2012 9:35 PM
why not just take the 2? Why go for an off balance 3? I just don't understand.
