Worst excuse for fans ever.

And your so butthurt over Lebron leaving that shithole called Cleveland.

The Heat are good...the Knicks are not. And Lin has never played an opponent like that before. The outcome of this game isn't surprising in the least.

He was off because of the Heat defense. They dominated him.

Yeah, I'm pissed about him leaving. And any fan of Cleveland and basketball in general should be too. He's an egotistical prick. I don't think that makes anyone butthurt. I think it makes people realistic about who he is.

And I think better fans deserve a team like that. I hate the Lakers too, but at least their fans show up and give a shit about their games.

They did dominate him. Completely and entirely. But in the second half, he was getting plenty of good shots that just took a bad roll. Toward the end of the game, he put up a few that he didn't seem to have any confidence in.

Seemed like a lethal combination of getting shut down and not getting any kind of breaks. After that, by the middle of the 4th, it was over for him.

You'd have to think Baron is done. For as bad as Lin played, he was even worse.

That's a ridiculous statement, given that it's one game lost. And it's not like they got blown out as badly as most teams have by the Heat.

The Knicks aren't a bad team. They've beaten some good teams in their run. And JFC, they've only been playing with Melo and Smith for a week.

There's nothing ridiculous about it. The Heat are the best team in the NBA and have proven it over the course of the last two seasons. All they have to do is prove it now in the NBA Finals. They completely outclassed the Knicks tonight...it was predictable.

They're under .500 in the East. But sure, they're great.

I didn't say the Heat aren't good. They're untouchable right now, much as I hate them. I"m saying it's ridiculous to say the Knicks aren't good. You seem to forget that the Heat's big 3 had a bunch of trouble learning to play well together when they first started out.

Yeah, because the team put on the court in the beginning season is clearly comparable to the one that's driving the hot streak.

Hey now they would be the #7th seed right now

I think they will improve once they are back to full strength but no one is going to beat the Heat.

It's the same struggling team with the addition of JR Smith (a role player) and Lin (a PG that we really don't know enough about yet to say anything definitive).

And the Knicks have lost 3 of 5. The run is over...reality has finally started to set in. Teams that play defense like the Knicks do don't get to be called good in the NBA...not unless they're running Steve Nash-in-his-prime, D'Antoni Suns efficient offensive basketball (and they're not).

I really want to see a Spurs Thunder/ Bulls Heat conference finals matchup.


A Thunder Heat Final would be epic.

Oversensationalize much? The Knicks lost 2 of their last 3 since Melo came back, and one was against a team that's clowning everybody. Contrary to what you said, Lin has been productive for his team in every game but today--ridiculous to say today was "predictable." This isn't even close to the same struggling team, given that they have PGs playing PGs instead of their PF. And give me a break, you add a rookie PG who changes the entire offense. You add in 3 new key players in 3 weeks. They still have no idea what their identity or offense is. Ridiculous to suggest that given everything that's happened, anybody has any clue whatsoever this team looks like in a few months. But even at their most shaken up, they're still making a decent run in games they're losing (until today).

Man I wish we could beat the Heat this year but they have too much talent to not come out of the east. Gotta get Rose another star player to compliment him.
