**** that Novak is useless the way Miami stays home on shooters right now

At least with Novak he stretches the floor out. The TNT halftime even showed it Miami not leaving Novak lead to some layups for JR and Melo earlier.

Maybe they should give Lin a shot game 3 LOL. If he feels ok enough. I mean maybe more magic can happen like earlier in the year, what do we have to lose at this point (besides risking Lin injury I guess LOL) but for THIS YEAR, WE ARE GOING TO GET BLOWN OUT ANYWAY.

Every year we're optimistic and boom the fukk shit, like Clyde said if we would have taken care of business in the regular season we wouldn't be in this mess
Yep losing to NJ, Cavs, bobcats all took their toll in ending our season just like lat yr in a first round sweep.

We win one of those games we are in a whole different situation right now
 

GoKnicks!

Why can't knicks rain threes on' em. Don't we have the #1 3pt shooter in the league? No one else knows how to screen besides jj?

Jr, Novak, Melo, next game shoot threes like the arrows in 300. Stat do the dirty work since you can't seem to do much else.

Baron played well in this game. Be our savior.

Reggie said it best. All the shots the Knicks made were fadeaways or heavily contested shots. Most of the shots Miami made were fairly open, they'd make the extra pass and move without the ball.

Knicks seriously need to work on that. Iso and a semi-functioning pick and roll is not going to be enough. :(

Real talk I Wish it was Amare who tore his Acl instead of Shump. If your back sore, if you can't reb and jump he shouldn't be out there. Let JJ play

The difference in the game was defensive rotation and players moving without the ball. I think if there were a statistic counting back screens, the Heat would have outdone the Knicks by a ratio of 10 to 1 in that game.

Although the Knicks were never a team that did much of that anyways......

I think this was why they had trouble defensively against the Cavs, because aside from the contrast in talent, the Cavs run basically the same offensive system to that of the Heat. The Knicks biggest defensive weakness his handling back screens and screens away from the ball.

THE KNICKS LOST BECAUSE THEY WHERE TO FOCUSE ON LBJ THAT THEY FORGOTE HE IS A WILLING PASER NOT LIKE MELO HE ENDED UP WITH 9 DIMES AND MIKE MILLER, BATTIER AND BOSH MISS SOME EASY LAY UPS AND THREE POINTERS SO IF 50% OF THOSE SHOT FALL LBJ WOULD HAVE END UP WITH MORE THAN 15 ASSIST AND THE LEAD WOULD HAVE BEEN BIGGER! THEY NEED TO RUN MORE STUFF FOR STAT BECAUSE ALL TEHY DO IS GIVE THE BALL TO MELO AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY! AND THAT VS HEAT DOSENT WORK BECAUSE HEAT(BRON AND bATTIER ARE FIGHTING FOR POSITION VS MELO TO TIER HIM UP) THEY BUMP WITH HIM IN LEGAL WAY THEN THE MAKE HIM DEFEND SO HE GET TIRED BY THE 4TH QUARTER!

we could use Bill Walker right now in these playoffs... he was the reason we were neck n neck when we faced the heat in the reg. season

We need a glue guy and a consistent scorer off the bench

Lin returning almost solves both of those things at once.

We also need a new coach, and something to be done about Amare -- idk tho, with his contract, idk how you afford to use him like he's getting paid 5M a year, and expect to ever actually contend in the NBA right now.

In that vein, getting Lin back (or a special PG like Nash) is another potential savior for Amare, and us.

edit -- Shump's injury is the elephant in the living room here, too. You can't replace his D, and impact on our rotation. You just can't.
