I honestly don't have much faith in Randle or this team shooting the three. We're going to need a crazy 40 point Superman game by Brunson and outrebound them by 10 or more. But when we lose this series, I want to see this team go down fighting. Game 3 was way too easy for them.
Curious to see what Thibs does with IQ out. We do not have a backup PG unless you go with Rose, who's honestly looked cooked and terrible all year. We need shooting and Fournier makes sense in that area but he too has been awful the entire season. Deuce at the very least will play hard on defense and has shown he can make a sneaky three here and there so I'd go with him. But we need Grimes to have a career game on his birthday today.
Not happy here with the last game or being down 2 - 1. But I don't know if anyone else here notices all the other current playoff series have been see saw. Knicks win tonight and they're right back. So that is what I will expect.
We need a valiant and impassioned display by our NY Knicks cheerleaders.

Rose and Fournier are on the table. Deuce is actually spending time warming up 
We need to attack Jimmy on defense. The guy is hobbled and we're letting him off too easy
We also need to put more pressure on refs. Heat is schooling us in that regard and we're suffering as a result. Bam moves on every pick and they're not calling it, so we need to force that situation some.
we need some production from Obi, Grimes or IQ. the latter two are banged up so hoping one can contribute, and no excuse for Obi. He needs to grow a pair.
Unfortunately i think Jules is hobbled too. He is not moving well.

Who attacks? ISO RJ? ISO Brunson? ISO Randle?
What happens after the first 1 or 2 times Jimmy shuts those guys down like he did last game. Then what?
Attack one of the best wing defenders in the league and hope he gets hurt? That should be the plan?
I recorded game 3 as I had some little league coaching responsibilities. When I got home I looked at the score (mid 4th qtr) and was like nah... Im good and moved onto drinking. Looks like they all kinda stunk. How was RJ -32 when the next worst guys were Hart -18 and Obi -10? Like how how is that statistically/mathematically possible?
Crew is banged up and launching bricks. I except Thibs to reach into his coaching bag of tricks and for the Knicks to come out and play better. I also expect that from the Cavs and we just smoked them so maybe its our turn, but I dont think so.
I'm leaning on the law of averages and expecting our guys to pop this zit and break out a bit. Hopefully we see some McBride and he and Grimes can fly around do their thing. Gotta play loose and just get after it
We already have 4 team fouls and it’s 9 hours from tipoff

no but you need to screen/pick him and make him work harder
Knicks shooting 42% for the series and 27% from 3. The Heat arent doing anything magical here. Knicks just need to play better. This is not the Bucks defense. Heat are good and Knicks are banged up but I expect us to break out of this in some way shape or form. My biggest worry is I expected Cle to also do that and they withered sooo..... 
Sitting here having to count on big performance from Julius tonight feels like I’m standing on Empire State Building on a very windy day with 75% of my feet off the ledge.
You got this Julius.
Regardless if IQ plays or not.
- I want Grimes starting
- Deuce playing
- Mitch/Randle minimized/benched if they suck out of gate

Please sit Jessica near the Heat bench with a VERY low cut blouse that shows abundant cleavage. We need every bit of help we can get at distracting Butler (et al).
Not saying it's our only hope, but every little bit counts.
We got this.

I won't be able to watch the game. The idea that we are letting an undermanned Miami Heat team do this to us with a bunch of UDFA is insane.

Its not us, its them. Ask the Bucks. We need to step up and answer

The UDFA guys have been on team like 4 years now and each is now on their 3rd playoff experience including a finals run? All 26 or 27 now?
Or do we treat them like they just came from the summer league this offseason?

+1
The Heat are a super focused team and cranked up their intensity several notches in the playoffs. As far as storylines go, feels like it could be their year to do something special.
But can't laydown and give up yet. Knicks took their beating from the Cavs in Game 2, came out and responded with a thrashing of their own. I am excited to see what adjustments the team's made since Saturday and whether they can respond to the challenge.
2-2 with home court advantage will make us all feel 100x better.

They got Kyle Lowry off the bench.
Been to finals and game 7 of conf. Finals two years running.
Bam is legit.
Jimmy is Legit.
KYle is legit.
