If you are back to back champs you would expect them to play like a champ. Miami has a whole new team they need some time for chemistry. Either team losing to below .500 team is unacceptable.

Miami might not have the team now but eventually they will have a better center and PG. Lebron, Wade, and Bosh are young and have a lot of time in front of them. With the best rebounder out on their team and a weak center I am surprised they are the 2nd best defensive team in the league.

Deron might be a better PG today but in a few years Rose will definitely exceed Deron.

Wonder why no one critics the Lakers when they lose to teams below .500. But when Miami loses a few games everyone is all over them--> lebron, bosh, spoelstra.

Maybe because ESPN had the 72 win tracker up on ESPN? Or because LBJ and company decided to have a fireworks show to introduce themselves and predicting they would win 7+ titles?

Nah, it couldn't be any of that hype.

LOL Mello is def the hottest ticket going into free agency. If Mello decides to leave the nuggets and then signs with the bobcats he is going to be putting himself in a worst position than he is now IMO. Mello wants to win, and the way the knicks are playing now with Amar'e and Felton, its feasible for them to be a potential contender for a chip.

Tee212 · 12-13-2010, 08:44 PM

no doubt NYC is playing great ball and i wonder if the addition of Melo would stir up any jealousy with amare as being "tha man". Its still early and im not sure if its just fools gold right now with them. Im still waiting on what contending team can withstand the big injury thats goona hit soon this time every year...you know the "breaking news so so will be out for the season"

They might not win 70+ games this season but they have a whole lot of time to prove themselves. Lebron had a 60+ win season at Cavs without a all star on his team. No where as much talent as what the Miami has now. Look at how the Cavs are now. Last year they had the best regular season record. They are the top 5 worst teams in the NBA now.

Amare would definitely not mind. He wanted Lebron to join him at the Knicks. But since LBJ turned him down he said that he will try to get Carmelo and CP to come to the Knicks in the future.

Knicks vs Celtics tonight.... followed by Knicks vs Heat on Fri. All three teams are on crazy win streaks.

This will really put them to the test. The Knicks has been playing some terrible teams.

The next few weeks they will be playing Celtics, Miami twice, OKC, Lakers, Utah, Orlando, San Antonio. Good luck.

vs Denver
vs Boston

@ Cleveland
vs Oklahoma City
vs Chicago
@Miami
@Orlando
vs Indiana

@Phoenix
@LA Lakers
@Portland
@Utah

Definitely a lot better than expected.

Except Boston is without a Center. Shaq, perkins, Jermaine is all out.

c0nstant · 12-16-2010, 12:01 AM

in all fairness, there was a HARD foul on felton down the stretch that wasn't called which lead to an open ray 3. also, when pierce made the last shot, the clock should have stopped at .7 or .8, not .4. also LOL @ nate robinson for falling over pierce while pierce didn't even acknowledge him

Miami vs Knicks. Who you guys got your money on?

that's a tough one, but i might have to give the edge to miami (regrettably)

NYCGarbagePrince · 12-16-2010, 08:05 AM

No big baby, no Garnett. Amare puts up 40+ friday night after a nice full days rest. There is no one on the Miami Heat team that can cover Amare. Bosh? gimme a break.

There is also no one that can cover Wade and Lebron.

If the Celtics had a legitimate Center playing the game would of been a whole different story. The best defensive team giving 110+ points is just terrible.

JhnR · 12-16-2010, 04:38 PM

my second fav team after Lakers is the NYK.

You guys deservet final 4 playoffs.

i hate boston with a passion. Paul Pierce needs a wheelchair.

Actually Bosch is a little on the softer side thats all.

And Miami has more than 1 player that can score 40+

NY only has Amare, and i think Felton is playing GREAT BRO
