It was a nice game.
Unfortunately I fell asleep at the end of the 3rd (forgive me, it was past 4am already)
It seems like in the first half the Heat shooters were hot, and the Knicks ones cold. But when it counted (last minutes of the game) they switched Very good.
I liked Gallo's D.
I absolutely LOVE how Landry always looks for the offensive rebound. I am whole-heartedly on his bandwagon.

And that's when I tuned in, wierd. But I bet you thought we lost when you woke up. And we forgive you!
As good as our D was,Spoelstra helped us out by resting Wade when he got hot instead of benching LeBron.Williams and Gallo both made it tough on LeBron.Good to see those guys taking pride in something other than shooting threes.That Gallo three from str8 on that went in was big time....It was a por decision because he was closely guarded,but when he's on fire I don't have problems with him taking those shots.That's his game.
Amare was very aggressive.He took some poor shots but I think he was moreso tryna get the ball to the rim so he could crash the boards and get put backs.Thats cool w/ most teams but every1 on the Heat can rebound.
Other than a few silly gambles he took on D,Landry Fields was everywhere.He has a lot of Cedric Ceballos in his game.You're paying attention to everyone else and next thing you know,he's got 10 rebounds.
Chandler was off for the most part of the game.He looked to uncomfortable out there.The thing I like about him and Fields most is that even when they're off,they contribute elsewhere.Offensively,he forced some shots that I never see him take normally.That block on Wade was big time and the biased @$$ refs had to call a foul.I agree,the refs were closet Heat fans.That charge on Gallo was total BS and that was a backcourt violation on Arroyo.It was a controlled tap (pretty much a pass).He had possession.
Shawne Williams set the tone for us defensively.He went man to man,chest to chest with LeBron.No help!
Felton was erratic.He had a couple of nice baskets down the stretch but he also had some poor turnovers and made decisions that kept him the Heat in the game.Chandler and Fields were doing alright on Wade.I dont get why D'antoni decided to put Felton on him.Wade lit his campfire last night.It was like he looked at Felton and then looked at D'Antoni like "o yea? really?you gonna disrespect me like that?You're gonna put HIM on ME?" As I said before,Im still tryna figure out what advantage we gain by playing Felton and Douglas together.He gets a huge "c'mon son" for that.
Turiaf was a non factor last night.If he did something,I can't remember because all I can picture is him going up for what he THINKS was gonna be a monster dunk and LeBrick str8 embarassed him.He got denied so bad it was like he sent his crush a "do you like me,yes or no" note and she made her own square with hell no and checked it.Every game show sound effect for losing played in my head when he got his shot blocked. Including my favorite (Price is Right)
I don't mind when Chandler misses shots. Or any player. But all he's done recently is keep chucking. Chuck, chuck, chuck. He doesn't try to do anything else, and he isn't contributing defensively or with his rebounding. Someone needs to pull him aside and get him back on track, because his play is simply hurting the team now.

Knicks lost tonite, due to no defense, and no agression on offense.
Just as big as the night they creamed the Spurs. Although the Heat team was unhealthy the NYK beat them as they really should have.
One concern I have though and even Reggie Miller made a comment about it during the game. "They are taking way too many 3 pointers and not making any."
Yes it was the Gallo and Fields 3's that won the Knicks the game. But it may have been a bigger spread in points if the Knicks made better judgements on the court and took the simple 15 footers instead.
Overall I am happy they won. Williams played good D on Lebron and Fields came through in a big way. Amare played really well and Gallo did his part. Felt put the exclamation point on the game with those final freethrows but I am disappointed in Chandler tonight. The Knicks could have used his simple 15 footers but he was off all night.
Congrats to the NYK. Another important game against the Hawks. I hope they can get this one too
I have to agree with what Reggie Miller said last night about the Knicks during last nights Heat game because it is haunting the Knicks tonight.
"They are taking way too many 3 pointers and not making any."
Can someone explain to me why Horford is always unstoppable against us? I mean Jesus, 7 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS? And for the 2nd night in a row, the opponent's SG has lit us up.

It was also 4am in my country but I wasn't sleepy at all.
I was excited as hell,so excited that I couldn't fell asleep even after the game ended.

How did I know Chandler would mysteriously get "injured"?Welcome to the dog house my friend.Have a seat next to Anthony Randolph.
No way Toney Douglas gets us OJ but Memphis' asking price has to have gone down.Maybe we can trade Chandler for him because while I like Chandler,clearly his production and playing time will be reduced from now on. I surely wouldn't mind a Toney Douglas and Chandler for OJ Mayo deal.
