Heat destroy Knicks 100-67 to win Game 1. Post-game reactions here

[Jotaro Durant]

holy crap r u nikkas watching this shit. WTF:biggums: :biggums: :biggums: :biggums:

[LBJMVP]

this game is a disgrace to nba fans...

lebron is the biggest flopping ***** in the league.


"got a little whiplash in my deck" a direct quote from lebron at halftime about tyson's foul..... WTF is he talking about.


this is bullshit.

[inclinerator]

if thats the case, the heat would have won last year

[Celtics4ever]

if thats the case, the heat would have won last year

The Heat did make the Finals last year you idiot.

[DTreats]

Well?

[LoneyROY7]

Game 1. :applause:

[pauk]

He is great man... its just... Lebron... you know..

[dbugz]

exposed

[DTreats]

Letting your team get blown out by 30+ in the playoffs:applause:

[strike]

ffs not this crap again.

Its ONE game. Melo is a proven playoff performer. get a life

[DTreats]

He is great man... its just... Lebron... you know..
LeBron had nothing to do with it. He could be guarded by a high school kid and he would still be terrible. He has no offensive game besides random pull up jumper, his defense is a joke, can't pass or rebound. What is he good for?:lol


Knicks franchise player:bowdown:

[BallsOut]

Huge FT disparity and foul call bias going for the Miami Heat in game 1 and obvious flops by superstar Lebron James leads to 30 minute ISH server crash as many viewers turned off the game in disgust. Discuss.

[NuggetsFan]

Its ONE game. Melo is a proven playoff performer. get a life

Melo has actually shot below 40% in 4\8 of his playoff outings, but who's counting :lol

[lilgodfather1]

ffs not this crap again.

Its ONE game. Melo is a proven playoff performer. get a life
Yeah he's proved a lot. He's been a playoff series winner a whole TWO TIMES!!!! NBA GOAT.

[Dictator]

Refs went crazy.....knicks could've have won if not for that second quarter ref fest...

[DTreats]

Melo has actually shot below 40% in 4\8 of his playoff outings, but who's counting :lol
Just what this thread needed, a bitter Nugget fan:lol


Good luck with your franchise player, oh wait you don't have one.

[kurt_rambis]

you know it's a 35 point game, right? you can't blame a handful of bad calls for that

[RazorBaLade]

you know it's a 35 point game, right? you can't blame a handful of bad calls for that

Can you blame a handful of bad calls for going from a 1 pt game to a 10 pt game and then momentum on their side?

[NuggetsFan]

Just what this thread needed, a bitter Nugget fan:lol

Wait, what am I bitter about again? :oldlol:

[LBJMVP]

it was 30-29 when refs took over...

tons of blatantly awful calls all led to heat points....

the tide was definitely changed.

miami would have won anyway though.

[rodman91]

Let's Go Miami Refs! :lebronamazed:

[kurt_rambis]

Can you blame a handful of bad calls for going from a 1 pt game to a 10 pt game and then momentum on their side?
did momentum make melo shoot 3-15? and amare 2-7?

[NugzFan]

Using the word nikka is stupid

[Dictator]

did momentum make melo shoot 3-15? and amare 2-7?

um yeah.... The whole knicks squad was getting fouled and the refs never gave them a whistle during that stretch.

[PP34Deuce]

There was definitely some home cooking, but if Lebron is hitting bottom of the net and playing inspired D....with Mike Miller and Haslem playing great....Thats gonna spell a blowout at home.

I wouldn't read into this game at all, If New York gets blown out 15 plus next game, theres room for concern.

[RazorBaLade]

did momentum make melo shoot 3-15? and amare 2-7?

Dunno but I'm pretty sure its a lot easier to come out in the 2nd half knowing you need to get it going but you're only down 5 instead of 20.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

you know it's a 35 point game, right? you can't blame a handful of bad calls for that
:biggums: its was 1pt game....when the refs stepped in and took control of the game....even whispers were called for fouls

[Scoooter]

The refs were ridiculous at times, but that was hardly the Knicks only problem.

[kurt_rambis]

um yeah.... The whole knicks squad was getting fouled and the refs never gave them a whistle during that stretch.
melo was 0-7 before way before that crazy stretch of calls

and amare completely disappeared, without any ref interference

[knickswin]

it's that heat defense ... it has just been stifling ... melo has had a hard time even getting the ball

this is all on woodson to make the right adjustments for the next game.

this series sucks... i knew this would happen. the knicks have a BAD offense. no system. no discipline. makes me almost miss d'antoni (almost ... he had his issues too). knicks need to make MAJOR moves this summer. moving stoudemire is move number 1. they need consistency and chemistry out of their best players, and it just hasn't been there with melo and stoudemire.

[NumberSix]

Huge FT disparity and foul call bias going for the Miami Heat in game 1 and obvious flops by superstar Lebron James leads to 30 minute ISH server crash as many viewers turned off the game in disgust. Discuss.
Do you realize that if you erase ALL of Miami's free throws, It's still a blowout?

[gilalizard]

The refs were ridiculous at times, but that was hardly the Knicks only problem.

Yep.

But piling it on a team that is already the underdogs is a guarantee they have no chance.

Knicks had a fighting chance, if they had a fairly called game. Going into the half, with the Knicks right there (even with Melo ice-cold), the refs made sure to let them know they weren't going to get one.

[BallsOut]

Do you realize that if you erase ALL of Miami's free throws, It's still a blowout?

Denial. It ain't just a river in Egypt.

[BlackVVaves]

"Awful" players don't average 30 PPG for an entire month.

With Amare back, the spacing of the floor is back to being limited and counter-productive for Melo.

[pauk]

butthurtedness is not good...

[gilalizard]

Do you realize that if you erase ALL of Miami's free throws, It's still a blowout?

Momentum matters. Getting a bunch of bullshit calls takes players out of their game.

They know they cannot play full throttle because they'll get called for phantoms and LeBron flops.

[04mzwach]

Melo? Amare? Coach? You know somebody will say something about the refs most likely. It'd be hard not to. You can just see it on Melo's face as he sits on the bench. He can't believe the shit that just went down.

[veilside23]

dwhistle? :D

[RoseCity07]

Yeah because if the Knicks don't get called for all those fouls they can stop Lebron and Wade.:rolleyes:

[Dictator]

Do you realize that if you erase ALL of Miami's free throws, It's still a blowout?

Do you understand momentum?

[dbugz]

There might be bad calls but you can't deny that the Heat played a superb D! Especially Battier shutting down Melo on offense during the 2nd qtr. :applause:

[bdreason]

This Knicks just aren't that good. There's a reason they had to make a run just to make the 7th seed out East.

[Clippersfan86]

Knicks fans going into this series..

"Melo always outplays Lebron"

"Knicks match up well with Miami"

This single game proves the delusion. Knicks are going to be lucky to score 70 and are getting obliterated in one of the worst playoff beatdowns I've ever witnessed. To make matters worse Shumpert blew a knee and Baron is injured. Knicks are likely to get swept. Maybe Knicks fans will be a bit more realistic now. Playoffs are where teams get exposed.

[Dictator]

Hate to break it to you but, the ref showed some of the greatest refense I've ever seen.:banghead:

[DetroitPistonFan]

Their defense are the referees.

[dbugz]

Look at the Knicks total TO and you'll have and idea :pimp:

[Jameerthefear]

LOL. Are people really blaming the refs for a 34 point loss. Give credit when its due guys, come on.

[Dictator]

[BallsOut]

It's hard to win playing 5 against 8. Just awful officiating.

[bmulls]

Hate to break it to you but, the ref showed some of the greatest refense I've ever seen.:banghead:

The refs made the Knicks shoot 35%?

[pegasus]

They were ALLOWED to hit and hack, while the Knicks were called for anything and everything. That's not good defense. That's Stern getting the job done.

[k0kakw0rld]

PLEASE STOP BLAMING THE DAMN REFS...MELO WAS ICE COLD MOSTLY BOTHERED BY LEBRON DEFENSIVE INTENSITY. I saw a few bad calls here and there. For the people saying 28-5 fta in favor of the Heat just means Knicks weren't aggressive.

[NuggetsFan]

They got hit hard in every way possible. Heat were just obviously on another level. LeBron went nuts when Carmelo was a no show. Refs CLEARLY made calls towards Miami. Iman Shumpert goes down in what looked like a serious injury, without any contact or anything.

Nothing positive to take away from today if your a Knick fan :oldlol:

[Dictator]

The refs made the Knicks shoot 35%?

yes. They were getting fouled left and right and got no call. On the other hand the heat were barely being touched and getting phatom calls.

[DetroitPistonFan]

LOL. Are people really blaming the refs for a 34 point loss. Give credit when its due guys, come on.
You need to get your eyes checked.

So you don't think you were gonna get your asses handed regardless? I hate the Heat as much as the next guy, and I've grown to like Melo, but give credit.

[BallsOut]

And of those 27 turnovers, 15 of them were offensive fouls because apparently every time the Knicks drive in the lane and touch a Heat player, it's automatically a charge. Obviously rigged game, just disgraceful. :biggums:

honestly, stfu. you are one of the most unrealistic, delusional posters on this board. you do the exact same thing every melo homer does with blake griffin who is, if anything, far more unproven than melo. so i don't know where you come off calling people unrealistic. yeah, a lot of knicks fans set their expectations too high. i, personally, have been saying for a month that the knicks with their poor assist/turnover ratio, bad three point shooting, and high rate of turnovers are a very poor match-up against the heat. but it pisses me off that someone like you thinks you need to make us eat crow and rub this loss in our faces.

and this is also only game 1. knicks won't win this series, but the next few games probably won't be as embarrassing.

[spacebump]

Post the freethrow difference.

The Knicks really didn't drive as much as the Heat. While there were a few bad calls it wasn't enough to explain the amount the Heat beat them by.

[Clippersfan86]

Sorry but Miami is far more aggressive on offense. Of course they will get more free throws. Blame 27 turnovers leading to 50 points or whatever it was. Miami simply obliterated this team to as pulp.

[niko]

I hope everyone giggling over this enjoys when the bald **** refs your game and kills you.

[LoneyROY7]

Typical knee-jerk reaction by you.

[BuGzBuNNy]

People act as if refs watch the games @ replay speed. Nothing from the game gave me the impression that it was fixed.

[TheStarting5ive]

At one point the Heat points off of Knicks turnovers and the lead for the Heat was equal. 34.

No one wants to hear that though. Its easier to blame the refs than to admit your team was outplayed on every level.

I can't believe these delusional ass Knicks fans have me defending the Heat...

Yes they did. They stopped in the second half after getting no calls.

[CJ Mustard]

They just don't stand a chance against Miami. Game 1 was just brutal, one of the worst thrashing I can remember in the Playoffs. Delusional Knicks fans will once again get a reality check.

[Celtic_Pride]

With Amare and Tyson clogging the paint, where is the lane to drive for the perimeter players and a chance to draw fouls? :facepalm

[Kiddlovesnets]

Well Knicks fans are getting carried away by the fact that the Refs ruined their game. Id say its badly officiated, but the Knicks are not winning this one anyway even if the Refs are being fair. You shot 35% from the field and ended up with 24 TOs(compared to Miami's 14 TOs).

[NuggetsFan]

I hope everyone giggling over this enjoys when the bald **** refs your game and kills you.

Agreed the refs were BRUTAL. Same time Carmelo was like -35, Knicks turned it over an insane amount, couldn't hit anything. LeBron was hitting whatever, missed 4 shots the entire game. Nobody on NY hit MORE than 4 field goals besides J.R Smith :oldlol:

[Whoah10115]

All of those charges were correctly called and the only one that was arguable is the one with Amare and Battier. The rest were 100% charges.

[Clippersfan86]

I hope everyone giggling over this enjoys when the bald **** refs your game and kills you.

Don't make me bump game thread from other day. Knicks fans were talking all kinds of trash trying to troll Clips fans. Now you put up one of worst playoff beatdowns in NBA history and you're mad because I point it out? If Clippers lose by 30 plus i'll write something similar about how pathetic they are.

i said the knicks DIDN'T match up well. as in, i thought the knicks were going to lose (i know, reading is hard.). I've been saying that for a month. like you, i root for a crumby, poorly run franchise. I know not to have delusions of grandeur when it comes to this team.

True. Without the refs on their side, Miami might only win by 10-15. Moral victory for the Knicks and their fans!

Soooo yeah. What did I say? :roll:

Who wants me to bump game thread from other day? Stop acting like a bunch of ******* and acting like I'm randomly trolling. You guys had a bunch of shit to say the other day. Think I feel sorry for you when you act like that? I don't try to bully anybody. Everything I say is retaliation. If Clippers get their asses handed to them like Knicks just did there will be multiple threads as well.

[Scoooter]

Love seeing Knickswin rage. He's one of most unrealistic trolls in ISH history. Knicks the 7 seed matches up well with Miami! Haha... What a joke.
They actually do. The problem is coaching. Woodson's offense is iso Melo, iso JR, and everyone else is an afterthought.

Amar'e dropped 37 on a younger Duncan in a playoff series, and now he never gets the ball. Amar'e on Haslem is a mismatch; Melo on Lebron isn't - but guess which player Woodson is force-feeding.

Everytime Stoudemire touched the ball, he either scored, or got fouled, or someone else was free and in position for the rebound. He needs to be option number one with Chandler in punishing the Heat down low.

Woodson won't do it though, because it doesn't fit his high-school, give-the-ball-to-the-AAU-guy, perimeter-iso offense. :facepalm

He's an idiot.

[BallsOut]

The first post in this thread pretty much sums up the game: Worst reffed game ever.

Many people turned off the game in disgust today. Blatantly rigged game, even ESPN analyst Bill Simmons called it. Just disgraceful.

[NumberSix]

Yes they did. They stopped in the second half after getting no calls.

Reffing may not be fair but the 27 turnovers turned into a gazillion points was the boggest factor and has nothing to do with refs.

[Legends66NBA7]

Soooo yeah. What did I say?

Still one game, 3 more to win the series..

Great win for the Heat. I'm expecting a better Knicks team to show up for Game 2. Miami should still win this series, but I'm not counting the Knicks out.

[Velocirap31]

Reffing may not be fair but the 27 turnovers turned into a gazillion points was the boggest factor and has nothing to do with refs.

This. Anyway, hopefully the Knicks show up for the next game or this will be a boring series.

[kurt_rambis]

it was totally fixed! david stern would just love to see the team in the #1 media market in the world get swept in the first round! because a long, competitive series between NYC and lebron james would be a ratings disaster!

[BallsOut]

Reffing may not be fair but the 27 turnovers turned into a gazillion points was the boggest factor and has nothing to do with refs.

Watch the game dumbass. Of those 27 turnovers, 15 were offensive fouls. Everytime the Knicks drove into the lane and touched a Heat player, it's automatically called a charge. There's no way you can win going 5 against 8. You have an obvious agenda if you can't admit that.

[Clippersfan86]

So predictable. Look I complain about refs too... In close games. In a 30 point beatdown? Please. Way more going on here than refs.

[NumberSix]

I am giving credit where it is due: the refs. Most obvious rigged game I've seen in a long time.
Keep crying phaggit. I love it.

[bsyde82]

OR, he could just be helping build the narrative that he's already pre-planned: Lebron's epic run to his first title.

People who didn't watch this game will consider it another Lebron MVP performance. To me? It's classic Lebron - front-running, at his best when his team is ahead and with momentum. Nothing he does matters until it's crunch time with something real on the line.

Knicks would've lost with or without questionable officiating and Bron's flopping. But I can't believe anyone, Bron fans included, would be ok with the way he flops. It's just pathetic beyond comprehension. John Lucas gets screened hard and steps to Lebron, whether it was justified or not. Lebron gets screened hard and flops and falls to the ground. :facepalm

why are you are so happy? :confusedshrug:

[gilalizard]

Heat stacked and huge favorites.

Knicks hot and have a fighting chance to beat them.

Melo ice-cold in first half, but Knicks right there still.

Refs pile it on the Knicks in 2nd quarter. LeBron flops blatantly and gets rewarded for it. Knicks in foul trouble, and taken out of their game knowing they can't play aggressive.

LeBron, safely in frontrunner status and protected by the refs, goes crazy.

In short, the most stacked team in the league (the Heat) get one of the worst reffed quarters in recent memory called in their favor, and put away the underdogs who up until then had been right on their heels.

[Bladers]

20 to 1 FTA in the 2nd.

Great win for the refs.

[knickscity]

Reffing may not be fair but the 27 turnovers turned into a gazillion points was the boggest factor and has nothing to do with refs.
Fully agree, even with the bad refereeing, the game was close until the turnover laid 2nd quarter.

[stephanieg]

Still can't believe Knicks blew all that money on Amare of all people. And Melo is an anti-money ball player, although he has the physical talents to be much better than he is. One one of those guys you wonder what he could be if he put in more effort.

Knicks fans only guys I've ever seen complain about their best player 'clogging the paint' and making it so their perimeter players can't drive. Somehow every other team ever hasn't had a problem with that.

theyre just melo fanboys actually. They dont want their boy having bad stats.

[knicksman]

trade melo for nash. it seems his post up game cant mesh with this team. His style sucks. Perimeter players should be playing in the perimeter. If you want to be the best, then learn the hard way and not the lazy way. Facing up is harder than posting up and this guy is so lazy to learn to face up. If only we could trade him for rondo and allen. You dont need 30 ppg scorers to win in this league anyway. I believe those suns teams are capable of winning if only they have chandler instead of lopez.

Worst game i have ever seen in my life. Knicks were horrible handling the ball, couldn't make shots, and don't get me started on the whistle fest. i turned the channel after the second half. the refs literally handed the heats that game.

Those saying that it would still be a blow out if the FT advantage was taken out doesn't know what they are talking about. Basketball is a very mental game, if your opponent getting pure bullshit calls(Especially when you are trying to find your shot), it will throw you off your game.

2nd worst officiated game of BASKETBALL, after the kings-lakers on 2002.

[Papaya Petee]

6 of the offensive fouls were Miami players stepping up in front of the cylinder and taking charges while not moving, great defense.

Chandler's foul on LeBron was clearly offensive, same with Melo pushoff. There was no dispute there. Knicks fans and Heat haters just bitter.
