I just got back from the game and was amazed at the ball movement. We won't be that good from 3 every night but we also won't be as bad from close range. Best things were the ball movement and D. Tyson completely changes a game just by his presence.
Don't want to get too hyped, but this game showed what we're capable of. Love the 3 headed PG monster.

I've heard everything from the heat partying last night to the refs helping us lol. maybe these idiot nba analysts would realize that we won becasue we palyed great defense and we moved the ball much betetr than the heat.
the media never gives the knicks credit. even when we were making finals and making deep playoff runs, we never get the love. that's part of the ride. no worries.
just imagine when we get stat shump and camby back.

The Heat arent getting up for the Knicks minus Amare.
Just isnt happening. They expected to come in and cruise to victory.
Knicks came to play though.
We got to earn the respect tho and that's ok...We are playing the same D we did during the 18-6 run...I want teams not respecting us and getting up for us...Gives us time to gel and gain confidence...
it seemed like the heat were up to me they just couldnt get past our defense
I liked how everyone doubted J. Kidd in the pre-season. Vets that old don't need to go hard in exhibition games.

Lebron James is reading James Harden's stats aloud to Wade in amazement in the lockerroom after the game. This tells me all I need to know about mentally where they were with us tonight.

The Heat are front runners. If you put up a legit fight and make it hard on them you have a chance. If you relax even for a minute they'll run over you. Trust me they weren't just letting the Knicks beat them. The Knicks D was legit. Did you see our PG's fighting over picks and blowing up all their offensive attacks? They wanted to do what they do to everyone, but our entire team defended hard and made them take shots they didn't want to take.
No we won't beat the Heat by double digits every time but this was a legit win. Rarely does any team come into the Garden and not try hard to win. They all love the stage.
It's one game but what a difference having point guards makes, the ball movement was great, I really feel Amare will flourish in this offense with Kidd and Felton running the show, and Shump is gonna play some lock down d and score a bit in the inside on dunks , not to mention Camby backing up Chandler when he gets into foul trouble as he did tonight, This team is for real because they play defense and have point guards who move the ball and know how to run an offense.
Who's Amar'e?

Amazing game. Just watched it. Kidd and Brewer looked so much better than in the preseason. Kurt still has it. Novak's shot wasn't falling in the preseason but he looked great. 20 pt victory over the world champs. Prigs is amazing. Can't wait for camby to beast.
Cole looks like Robert pack.
I think some of what we saw was the vet point guards being able to pass out of the trap when Miami pressures the pick and roll. It leaves guys wide open for threes and while the Knicks won't be as good every night as they were tonight, but many of the looks were incredibly wide open and taken by guys who you want taking them. I also don't know where Smith got that ability to drive and kick from, but man...
I do wish that Pablo and Felton would look to score more when they penetrate sometimes, but I'll take performances like tonight every night. Great effort from the Knicks.
I also thought the Knicks had a great game-plan. They played really slow and got back on defense most of the time to prevent the Heat from running. The Knicks have a solid half-court system in place.
