Again.

By the way, taking the ball inside with the big men has been working great. What dapper Knicks fan has been suggesting that all along? Oh, that's right.

This guy.

No he's the best passer on the Knicks by quite a bit.

[Scoooter]

That's absurd.

overall he's the best passer.

[Scoooter]

His dunk was definitely sick.

[Clutch]

Can we at least get an opportunity to win ? I mean we fight all game and now all of a sudden the Heat are up by 12.
Not the first time it happened this season.

[Rameek]

Just TOOOOOOOO much talent by the Heat. Great effort by the Knicks tonight though!

Scooter I dont even know why you responded to that person.

I have no respect for LeBron at all. Actin like he's a bad ass when everyone else is completely gassed. Melo was getting doubled all game. All of our guys had to play crazy minutes. We dont have the luxury of having Wade carry us when our guys go to the bench. Furthermore, he hasn't guarded Melo all game. Big b!tch! Fcuk him. I want us to win a ring but Im glad he's not a Knick 4real. I hate dudes like him. When I grew up, I always wanted to compete to win. Not CHEAT to win.He's cheating the game by not beating the best to be the best. I get no satisfation knowing I didnt play on an even playing field. Maybe thats just how I was raised.

And can we not play the blame game this time. I didnt like how Woodson coached but let's be serious. This is why we lost in a nutshell:

Our starting lineup:
Baron,Fields,Melo,Novak,Chandler

The Heat:
Chalmers,Wade,LeBron,Bosh,Haslem

end of story!

That's not even remotely fair. It would be like me playing against my brother (who has Cerebal Palsy) and yelling in his face like I accomplished something. C'mon man. Im disgusted by the entire heat squad. Showing off at the end of the game. Espeecially Chalmers and LeBron. Someone should go str8 Saints bounty on their punk asses lol

You must be blind.

I'm not even mad at this ridiculous statement. I'm mad Rameek didn't light into this guy lol If I said this, you would hav tore me a new one. Scratch that, if i said this, I would have tore myself a new one lol

[Scoooter]

Dude, he killed us. No one can guard him.

Seriously? he was on the bench resting while everyone else was playing. C'mon dude. Let's be real. That shit was gay. Plus he didnt man up and guard Melo. He had Battier and Miller do it WITH double team help. That's a punk move. That's like having someone jump in a one on one fight.

I try not to take advantage of the mentally challenged

Yeah but thats what he's suppose to do when players are gassed lay the smack down!

[Scoooter]

He was in foul trouble all night (largely in part to the Knicks making more of an effort to throw it inside to the bigs - something I've been advocating forever) and was struggling offensively. But that game was still close before he came back in the fourth quarter and blew it up.

The defensive aspect is interesting. For what possessions he is on Melo, he's effectively shut him down. But Spoelstra is content to keep Battier on that assignment which has obviously worked out despite Melo being able to, seemingly, take him at will.

C'mon now Scooter. You're going bonkers now lol This is low even for you. He barely guarded Melo all night.

LeBron was in foul trouble but he was also turning the ball over all throughout the 1st half. He had like 7 TOs. End of the day, it's like putting a fresh Adrian Peterson in against a gas Patriots defense in the 4th quarter.

That's why I italicized the "is". The fact remains that Melo had a lot of trouble scoring on him. I don't even remember it happening. The contrast with Battier was stunning.

How many minutes did Melo play tonight? I mean what can the dude do when he has to carry the Knicks and they throw the whole defense at Melo. When he got 1 on 1 with his defender he tried to take advantage.

To be critical of Melo in this game is way off base.
