[QUOTE=Smoke117]Every time the playoff time comes around the Knicks think they are going to do something if they are in it. Remember when they were going to do something last year. What happened then? The brooms were brought out by the Celtics and the fishing poles were brought out by the Knicks.[/QUOTE]
Congrats on sweeping the Knicks with 2 of our best 3 players out, beating us barely in the first two games with the refs help.
Have a cookie. :cheers:
:facepalm
[QUOTE=knickswin]I am a homer. but I don't think the Knicks are going to beat the Heat this year . . . . I think they would have had a legitimate shot against the Bull had they gotten the right seed though . . .
I think the best stat to tell you about how good an offense is is assist/turnover ratio. knicks are third worst in the league in that regard. that won't get it done. plus they're a crappy road team and a crappy three point shooting team.
I am just trying to be realistic. miami swept the regular season series. knicks don't really match up well to them. I think if they still played d'antoni ball, they would match up better.[/QUOTE]
Agreed about the bulls. Bulls may be great even without rose but bulls are questionable with rose chucking.
I disagree about the match up; Chandler will neutralize Bosh and Wade will be on shumpert island. Plus, Ill be at the Garden for the home games :pimp:

bulls with chucking rose would have been my ideal first round choice. it becomes easy to shut down their offense especially when you have a defender like shumpert who can really harass rose on the ball.
I've said it before, Wade isn't 100% and Lebron is questionable in big stages, and this is definitely a big stage and could possibly be the most hyped up first round match up ever due to it being New York and all the star power. Knicks have a ton of momentum, Melo's playing the best ball of his career, Chandler and Shumpert provide a great inside-out all-nba defensive combo, and they have a deeper bench. Maybe I wouldn't put money on the Knicks, but I wouldn't put money on the Heat either.
I don't think any team wants to play a team with Melo + decent role players.. Dude just scares the hell out of you. :lol
As a Bulls fan I have no problem admitting I really do not want to play the Knicks.
Won't be easy for Miami
Not the way melo is playing...
4-5 games for the Heat.
[B][COLOR="Red"]Miami isnt a good match up because they shut everyone else down that isnt Melo. The Heat has 3 superior scorers plus Chalmers or someone will go ape shit. That has been the trend.
With the Bulls its a dog fight and slowed down pace that plays in the Knicks favor. Although the Bulls defense and rebounding is better the match ups allows the Knicks role players to step up. Against Miami anyone not named Melo gets shut down or lost.
Miami generally blows out the Knicks the Bulls generally are closer contested games.[/COLOR][/B]
