the knicks and heat game is so (bleep). the refs don't even care about reffing properly. They're coddling king james. I knew the NBA was (bleep) but I didn't think it was so blatant. Let's hope it doesn't happen against the Lakers. Stern is a mofo.

Nice words; let's see them backed up with action. This will be by no means an easy series. Even if we win in 4 or 5, I would expect all the games to be pretty close and go down to the wire. More likely the Nuggets push the series to 6 or 7, and there is definitely an outside shot that they could take it with MWP out and Barnes injured.

I was so frustrated, but the refs had nothing to do with their horrible shooting %, even though some were met with contact which gave Miami easy fts.

I think the refs didn't play THAT big of a part, Miami played a physical game and Knicks were slumping, Battier and Bron shot Melo down, no clean looks from 3, couldn't get to the post, he was locked down in the corner, was shooting 10% at one point, went 0 - 9 til he made a shot.

Lebron was beast mode in the paint, he just blew by Melo so many times all they could do was foul him but he made the shots and the FTs. I still think Knicks can hold their own at home and push it to game 5-6, I don't see them winning at AA Arena, MSG will be a huge boost to their confidence but with Shumphert out there's a little chance to even put any pressure on the Heat, I can see a sweep coming up if Melo doesn't get it together.

How crazy must it be for ebanks who only started earlier in the year because artest was out of shape, and doesnt see playing time until the very end of the season because of a freak play. Now he is the starting SF for the first round.
Same goes for jordan hill. Forgot he was even on the team, has one breakout game and now is the first big off the bench.

I remember the last game Andrea Miller was giving us fits, he was just posting up Sessions and Blake, scoring easily. That's the one match up MB needs to keep an eye on.
