my prediction.. heat wins 120-77. as i said in my recap teaser this is going to be an unforgettable night. i don't think we have someone who can stop wade, blumatic is right marbury is going to get killed out there
the heat-knicks rivalry has reborn.

Wow rady i know you're not very confident in our team right now but C'mon!
Maybe we'll lose this game but we will not lose it by 43!!! That would be the most humiliating game ever!!
Let's show some trust in our guys! i think Nazr can guard O'Neal and at least take 10 rebounds!
Maybe Tim Thomas is gonna block wade :rolling: :rolling: ( this is huge irony)

GO NY

it's pretty hard to believe we can do anything playing away against the best team in the east when we couldn't even beat the nets or the kings - who didn't win at msg since 1996.
the heat is the only team that scares me at this moment. they're having just a too good time to have confidence in our team

dont forget everyone especially marbury is tired back to back games after 4 tough games in a row getting big minutes. Today will be all about perimeter defense they ahve guys that can knock the ball out from downtown...downlow we can forget about it because their going to hammer us, but if we stop the outside game we have a verrrry little chance of winning but tis still a chance

Hey there was a great highlight for the Knicks in this loss against Miami, Baker had one hell of a swat on Wade.

Another loss, this team breaks my heart sometimes... I'm sick of the way that they play with no heart. After beating the TWolves you would think the Knicks were finally on track.

Im really starting to get mad at this team. EVERYTIME THEY DO SOMETHING GOOD like going up 3 over .500, THEY GET TOO HAPPY AND END UP going back to .500 . I hope they dont plan to play like this in the playoffs, if they get there. Win 2, Lose 2. Cuz its seriously not going to work. Good effort by K.Thomas.

ok yeah, the knicks couldve and shoudlve played better, but the refs were freaken atrocious, 1 of if not the worst officiated games ive ever seen, had the game been more fair, the knicks DEF woulda had a better chance at winning, and i want tim thomas to leave the team, im sick of him, with his physical capabilites, he should be 1 of best SFs, at least hes consistent at 1 thing, sucking real bad

This team is not smart. They just not smart. I think the Knicks might need a new Coach or Wilkens might need to change the strategy with this team. This team needs a big man who can pass. I mean We need to play with a motion offense like the Kings and Nets(of old). If we had it like that we would kill the League. This team needs to run and cut and pass, make picks and finish to the basket. We are playing all wrong. We are playing like we have a big man in the middle who can demand double teams and thats not the case.

you're so right, i knew this was comming. no matter if it's by 30 points or only by 2, a loss is a loss.
some changes must be made we're just not a competitive team. boston and philly are comming strong from behind and i wouldn't be surpirsed to see we lose the playoff spot. it's a very thin line between the 3rd and the 8th seed

for those of you who don't have espn motion i uploaded the video recap on the downloads section

One thing is for sure, I'm truly getting sick of Wilken's coaching style. I've tried to give him a fair shake, but Vince is correct when he said the game has passed him by. I don't even know how many close games the Knicks have lost, and Lenny doesn't instruct the Knicks to foul in the last minute. He just stands there with that stupid confused look on his face.

The problem is that Lenny is way too lenient with the players. He is always making excuses for the crap that they do, because he wants to maintain this aura as a "Player's Coach" and not to have any players mad with him.....but he needs to scold and blast a player that is not doing something right...sometimes u need to cuss them out as it is the only way they will realize their mistakes!!!!
Look at Steph - Isiah blasted him and now he is playing ball.....
If TT is not playing well, take him out of the starting lineup - let him learn that it is a privilege that u have to earn to be starting - we might lose a game starting someone else, but players need to know they got to bring their A game every night!!!!!

Lenny needs to grow some balls and then the team will start playing much better!

I dont think it could have been said any better. Wilkens needs to go and someone who is still quasi-familiar with todays style needs to come and be a defensive specialist. People who coem to mind phil jackson ehhhhh i dont think hes honestly proven himself look at the players hes had with him in his successplus personally i hate triangle offense you need a monster center to run it anyways. Other then that theres noone that jumps out, buit whoever he gets needs to eb a defensive specialist. I think once isiah feels hes amde all the trade moves he needs toand he has a good enough team in place he should take the damn job
