Either way, they only just started watching basketball after linsanity. | ||

Another reason as to why the Heat will coast past NYK is due to the fact they completely CRUSH their opponents in the first half.. Look at how the dismantled the Pacers (said by many to be the 3rd best team in the east) last time around, if you demolish your opponents so hard and so quickly you don't need a bench like the 76ers have to sweep the Knicks.. Also; L O L at the people seriously talking about Lin for MVP, anyone but blind NYK fans knows that's just silly.. | ||

Steve Novak and Jared Jeffries are fucking terrible. Steve Novak hit 4 big time three pointers in the 4th quarter today and Jefferies just needs to play defense and rebound. I'm not saying the Knick are the be all, end all, but they certainly pose a credible threat with the discovery of Jeremy Lin and the addition of J.R. Smith. | ||

@CosmicSpiral: The Knicks are riding a hot streak but Jeremy Lin is good. Their defense is actually solid, the offense still looks like shit and we've got to see them go through that stretch with Melo to know how good they really are. But beating Dallas showed a lot even though there are some major holes still there. I'm not sure how Jeremy Lin is going to do against Philly, Miami and Chicago. By all the games I've watched and their point differential they aren't a threat to any of the top East teams. I don't think they will be either but we've gotta wait and see. | ||

The other thing to keep in mind about the Knicks vs. Heat is that this is a regular season. The Heat take long stretches off and they still end up blowing teams out. And on top of that, they all have a ton of playoff experience, including their bench. More than anyone on the Knicks, including Melo. Lebron's played twice as many playoff games as Melo, I think. | ||

IMO Miami vs New York would be pretty interesting. Lebron would have to cover Carmelo, Wade would have to cover Lin and Bosh would have to cover Stoudemire. Lin may be figured out by then, but at thi point, they would still need a way to trap him, which would probably be a 2v1. Plus, New York has Tyson Chandler and JR Smith. If Lin fixes his turnovers (seen improvements the last two games, sort of.), he's gonna be scary scary. Bit early, but he reminds me of Steve Nash. | ||

Steve Novak and Jared Jeffries are fucking terrible. Jeffries is exactly the kind of person you want coming off the bench. High energy, hustle, rebounding, can defend multiple positions. Offensively hes a non-factor but thats what you got JR for now. And Novak can hit the three as we have seen. Just need to use those players right and they are fine. | ||

Carmelo, Lin, Amare and Chandler (even though he's crazy efficient) are not. And he's still not like Nash. He's more Starbury than Nash. >.> Last year's team resembled the Suns' offense. This year's doesn't. | ||

New York's major issue is that vs Miami not only is their starting 5 inferior, but Miami always has 1 of their big 3 on the floor. With the Knicks terrible bench this could be a problem very fast. | ||
