Rose injured his knee exactly the same way Shumpert did....... The landing and angle were almost identical........ But I do think Rose's injury appears to be less severe than Shump's.it makes me pissed to hear now that Derrick Rose has a knee injury. We would have beaten Chicago without him for sure...
I know its going to be pretty hard, but Woodson needs to come up with a plan quick smart to stop Lebron's influence or we are screwed....

Kind of scary, since neither injury involved contact, other than the foot with the floor.
Awful... Just Awful.
Rose has a torn ACL
I still believe
Great Shumpert defitnetly tore his ****ing ACL what the **** man from the ridicolous officiating to Shumperts injury im fired the **** up right now **** the Heat and there ****ing flopping bullshit NBA officiating is ****ing ridicolous!!!
Melo's ""offensive foul"" on Lebron when he didnt even ****ing touch him and he flopped forward like are you ****ing kidding me David Stern your a ****ing asshole i cant wait till your done with your job
Rose has a torn ACL
classic prisoner of the moment postI agree with Van gundy, Throw Melo back at the 4. It just does not work with Stat & Melo together and if you think it does your a delusional person. There is no space on the floor and chandler on the court does not help at all.
Melo got traded here and played half a season, due to the lockout this season had less games. Technically they have had a full season together.... still no improvement maybe a "glimpse" of chemistry here and there but on a daily basis it's not a fit at all.
The heat are not a big team, toss melo at the 4 and let stat come off the bench works well both ways
Stop it please. Your making to much sense lolThe refs took away our momentum, our physicality, our aggressiveness, we had confidence at the beginning, but they wont let us play, the Heat can whatever they want, we cant touch them
Those LeBron flops killed everything, he did it 5 times on top of that
Welcome to the board! Hell of a ****ing post man :beer: I agree with the majority of what you said.This was rough. Man, I was really confident that a result like this was unlikely, but maybe it's not the case. Game 2 will be very telling.
But I think there may be a few reasons for optimism:
1) Melo really sucked today. 11 points on 3 for 15? After putting on a nightly show better than just about anybody else in the league over the last several weeks? He got off to a terrible start, couldn't shoot for s***, and never got in a groove. This is not something that happens very often. He hits those first seven shots, I really think this would have been a different game.
2) The Knicks got to the line 11 times. They averaged 25 FTA per game in the regular season. Whether you attribute it to the Heat's defense or bad calls, this is also something that doesn't happen very often, and it's not likely to happen again. Chicago is the number one defense in the league, and they couldn't shut the Knicks down this badly.
3) Chandler looked really bad. I don't mean how he was playing, I mean the man looked like he needed to be in bed.
In short, Melo never got going, the refs made some bad calls which only increased everyone's frustration, Chandler was not himself, and they made way too many mistakes in that pivotal second quarter--thirteen turnovers alone--and they got into a hole. You just can't make the kind of mistakes that the Knicks made today and expect to win a playoff game. There was one stretch where they committed five charges in a short period of time.
I think in game 2 if Melo gets his groove back, Chandler chugs some major Thera-Flu tomorrow, and they watch some tape and cut down on their mistakes, I don't think we're out of this yet.
Finally, would someone please let Mr. Novak have a shot once in a while. He only hits nearly 50% of the three pointers he takes. I still don't understand why he doesn't get 15 shots a game with that percentage. The man is a f***ing machine from beyond the arc, and he never gets the ball. I don't understand it.
Everybody keep your heads up, at least until the end of game 2.
