Miami Heat vs New York Knicks gamethread

[TE]

TBH, aside from the expected hype being given to this game by the sport media outlets; it really is a huge game, for both teams.

The Knicks, on paper, have a shitload of talent on their roster. If Melo buys into Lin handling the rock, the Knicks are a very scary team in the East (which I would believe every rational basketball observer deem it extremely weak outside of Miami and Chicago).


I'll be watching this game before the Spurs game later that night. Gonna be sum entatainmen'.


Knicks 104
Heat 102

[rayjayjohnson]

This is going to be a heat buttfucking of colossal proportions.

Heat by at least 20

[Rapper]

knicks 110
heat 107

Lin 25 pts 12asts 10 rebs 10 sts

[wanggi]

I have watched last two games since Melo came back from injury.
tbh, the Knicks would be much better without him.
He wasted so many good passes from Lin and he couldn't make the shots whether is mid-range or layups.
Tomorrow could be a disaster for the knicks if Melo is still dormant and Novak's 3 pointer doesn't work.

[Juggity]

knicks 110
heat 107

Lin 25 pts 12asts 10 rebs 10 sts

:lol Quadruple double? Not gonna happen in today's NBA.

[Ace]

Edit: Heat by 25 tbh...

[HarlemHeat37]

Most watched game of the NBA season, tbh..

The Knicks only chance for a close game will be if they get hot from 3, particularly a guy like Novak..Miami has often played nonchalantly, allowing open looks from the perimeter..we'll see what type of motivation they play with tonight..

Hopefully, King takes a few turns guarding Lin..it won't be pretty, tbh..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Heat by 33.

[resistanze]

Heat 104
Knicks 89

[wanggi]

This is a key game to Jeremy Lin.

[Bill_Brasky]

Heat gonna get in that ass imo.....

[pass1st]

A big test for Lin, he will be defended well.

[wanggi]

Lin wins= Hero+Legend

[pass1st]

Cheering for the Heat, per the usual.

[Killakobe81]

How the hell is this a BIG game for the Heat? they are the defending eastern champions. If they lose only team that is in striking distance to matter from a record perspective is OKC and CHI ...
I agree this would be HUGE for the Knicks. But I dont see what Miami gains. They should beat a Knick team coming off a back2back at home.

Same for OKC by the way. This game is big for OKC fans that hate the Lakers, but as for the teams the Lakers would get a HUGE boost with a win. Thunder should win tonight at home.

[VBM]

I think we'll get a big game from Melo (tbh he's always played fairly well against Lebron), but the Heat pull away late and win by 8

[Killakobe81]

Miami should roll the Knicks. I agree Melo has played him well and Chalmers and Cole are good matchups for Lin. Plenty of NY snowbirds should be in Miami so the crowd should not be too hostile ...

Knicks/Heat though ugly was one of the fiercest rivalries of the 90's ... be good to see it back.

Would love to see a signature statement game out of Lebron and the Heat ...but if not won't change my thoughts on Heat as the clear co-favorites with the Bulls in the east.

I hate gooks that try to act black. I hate niggas that try to act white. And I hate beaners too. Basically, I just hate. Miami is gonna steam roll that fucking gook tonight. And I hope he gets hurt too.

:lol Van Gundy

I don't know what he was thinking, tbh

[Reck]

I'm surprise the OP didn't said vs the chink or the yellow man or some racist shit like that.

I think the Heat will win but it will be a close game. I dont expect the Heat to just blow them out.

They have been clowning teams left and right. That has to stop at some point, specially when you face teams that aren't complete shit.

[Killakobe81]

:lol Van Gundy

I don't know what he was thinking, tbh

Funniest ish ever ... didnt Danny ferry get in to something with Grandmamma as well?

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Heat by 40

[Technique]

Melo gonna shit on lebron per usual and all the questions about him fitting in will be over not a minute after the game. Knicks by 6

[JamStone]

Like many, I expect the Heat to win comfortably, if not blow out the Knicks. With the way the Heat get in the passing lanes, Lin may finally break the league record for TOs in a game. Knicks should muck it up, make it an ugly game, get back in transition, and make it a game in the 80s. Don't know if they can do that or if D'Antoni can motivate his team to be that disciplined. Melon does get up for these types of games. He even tries on defense.

Heat are kind of in a no win situation. They should blow them out and if they do, it's to be expected. If they don't, they're toughness will get questioned once again.

Absolutely ... I agree if Lin leads a win the media will jizz. but if Heat win it's a non-story.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Heat gona tap dat ass....Itll proly get ugly

[Reck]

Lin will have about 15 TOs all to himself.

[benefactor]

Getting mauled in transition already. Lin's confidence may be broken after this game.

[Reck]

Lin is probably shitting his pants. Too much on Lin's shoulders.

[Jodelo]

Lin does not know what's happening...

[JamStone]

D'Antoni might have to get Lin some help just bringing the ball up. Chalmers all up in his shorts and LeBron and Wade too quick and too good in the passing lanes.

[benefactor]

lol...Lin getting the star call against Wade.

[Reck]

Get Baron Davis in there quick.

Lin is obviously shooked.

[Reck]

Tyson got fouled for sure.

[Technique]

Refs scared of Tyson :lol

[Technique]

D'Antoni got T'ed up too. Let them play the game jesus.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lakaluva is fkn chinese yet he hates gooks, watta clown

anyway lin gettin exposed

[Reck]

lakaluva is fkn chinese yet he hates gooks, watta clown

anyway lin gettin exposed

Not really. He's getting doubled teamed to hell.

That and he's a nervous wreck out there.

[Juggity]

Lebron with four steals in the first quarter so far...pretty damn good

[TDMVPDPOY]

heat gettin alot of bailout calls...

[NRHector]

lots of home cooking

[LoneStarState'sPride]

It's the fucking heat :lol:bang

[TDMVPDPOY]

is it me or it seems like more of the fans are cheering for the knicks then the home team

[Reck]

is it me or it seems like more of the fans are cheering for the knicks then the home team

Its not half time yet. Heat "fans" not there yet. :lol

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Knicks gettin' after it on the offensive glass

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Novak> bonner?

[TDMVPDPOY]

novak keepin them in the game

[Banzai]

Spurs fans wish Novak was still on the team?

[Reck]

Discount douchecheck man.

Novak making Spurs regret their shortsighted move. lol

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Spurs fans wish Novak was still on the team?

Novak>Blairger,Dick,Red rocket

[Reck]

Spurs fans wish Novak was still on the team?

Life a bitch. If this was Bonner, he would probably be doing the same.

The players you cut from your team seem to always go bananas on other teams. Never fails.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Ima laugh at heat fan friends of mine if they lose

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol home team fans gettin outcheered

[JamStone]

Miami should be up by like 10 points if they could hit a lay-up and make their dunks.

[Technique]

Miami is a city of bandwagoners

[NRHector]

Spurs fans wish Novak was still on the team?

hell yeah but is not up to us who stays or goes :bang

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Miami is a city of bandwagoners

It truly is, every time I see them on national tv theyres always very visible clusters of empty seats or theres more opposing team fans than heat fans it seems

[Juggity]

Spurs fans wish Novak was still on the team?

I don't. Novak was always a bigger defensive liability than Bonner.

[TDMVPDPOY]

jeremy lin exposed

[Technique]

Vintage Stat!

[siraulo23]

good game tbh

[Reck]

jeremy lin exposed

Ran out of words from your vocabulary? :lol

[benefactor]

Nice movement there by the Knicks. Miami is pressuring Lin hard. They need to keep the ball moving to shift the defense. Lin trying to create by himself is suicide against the Heat.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Ran out of words from your vocabulary? :lol

more TO then pts scored

[baseline bum]

And you are a stinky paki who tries to act black

Stinky paki or bitter asian male?

[Jodelo]

Lin :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Fpoonsie]

Tha FUCK is Lin doing?

[angelbelow]

First time watching Lin in a non-highlight reel format. So far a bit disappointment but still rooting for my Taiwanese bro :o

[JamStone]

The Heat defense is crazy. So athletic and active.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Stinky paki or bitter asian male?

forgot he was a bitter asian male muddling his way through life. My apologies

[Reck]

more TO then pts scored

Lin turning the ball over, not exactly breaking news.

The moment is overtaking Lin. He looks like a deer in lights out there. I would sit him for a while.

Team was doing better with him sitting down.

[Fpoonsie]

Lin :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

To be fair, lol Mavericks.

[Technique]

The Heat defense has really got to him, he's throwing up 20 foot teardrops and running into people 2 feet away from the basket

[Jodelo]

To be fair, lol Mavericks.

So? :wakeup

[JamStone]

Lol Amare taking some of the heat off Lin by having just as many turnovers

[TDfan2007]

Lin is falling apart out there.

[angelbelow]

Damn this is probably going to be a blow out in the 2nd half.

[Reck]

Lin is just moments away from waving that white flag.

[InK]

Great game, you can tell Miami wants this game hard.

[Reck]

Lin is not doing shit right.

I think this game will break him, therefore the media will hop off the wagon.

[TDfan2007]

Miami playing incredible defense.

[benefactor]

No one beats a buzzer like Melo.

[pass1st]

This game is closer than I figured it would be

[Fpoonsie]

So? :wakeup

I'm sorry. Was it not clear that I was alluding to the fact that Lin destroyed your boys?

[angelbelow]

Lin is not doing shit right.

I think this game will break him, therefore the media will hop off the wagon.

Lmao, how long have you been waiting to say that?

[rayjayjohnson]

No one eats a burger like Melo.

ftfy

[Jodelo]

I'm sorry. Was it not clear that I was alluding to the fact that Lin destroyed your boys?

I know, but it does not change the fact that he is lost out there tonight so far!

[Reck]

Lmao, how long have you been waiting to say that?

Despite this game I'll remain a Lin fan you hack. Talent is talent, there is no doubt he has it.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

ftfy

Blair can

[rayjayjohnson]

So can bynum

[InK]

Best half of bball i watched this year, Lin getting his PO cherry popped tbh. Aint easy facing such intensity for the first time

[Technique]

I'm amazed New York is only down by 4. Their starting point guard alone is 1-5 with 6 TO and wasn't running the offense effectively in the first half. On top of that, Miami has 7 blocked shots along with 11 steals. New York is beating them in the glass however, Amar'e and Chandler are playing exceptionally well.

As bad as it was for the Knicks, I believe it can only get better and NY will make the appropriate adjustments going to the 2nd half. Melo started to warm up and Lin has a moment to pace himself.

[angelbelow]

Despite this game I'll remain a Lin fan you hack. Talent is talent, there is no doubt he has it.


Lin is not doing shit right.

So you think this game will break him or not?

[cheguevara]

lol lin playing like roger mason jr

[Banzai]

Hope the hype goes away after this game.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Hope the hype goes away after this game.

It should since we wont see him play for a good week

[angelbelow]

Hope the hype goes away after this game.

Doubtful, it'll probably take him sucking for the rest of the season for the media to die down.

This is my first time watching him play live so its a bit disappointing but for the most part the Knicks are winning and hes putting up good stats so hes probably the real deal.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

gif of shaq please!

[pass1st]

Novak is 3-3, the Italian fuck should realize he's going to be the key to winning

[Reck]

So you think this game will break him or not?

When I say break him. I'm talking about him in general.

He hasn't been faced with this type of defense and way of play.

I promise you that after this game Lin is going to look at the videos and study and adjust his game.

And about the media, they'll jump off and look for the next big hype.

[resistanze]

Ruh oh

[Fpoonsie]

I can't decide whether or not Lin is being stupidly selfish on his haphazard drives to tha rim, or if he's trying to draw the foul on the MIA defenders inside...

My money's on tha former, though.

[rayjayjohnson]

I think we might have the first ever asian on west baltimore thug throwdown on national tv

[resistanze]

Heat scoring too fast, gonna fuck up my prediction.

[angelbelow]

Yeah no doubt they will vulture for the next marketable story. But Lin is going to continue to get coverage for the rest of the season, just not as intensely. My parents watch a lot of Taiwan news and they pretty much talk about him non-stop lol.

[Technique]

:lol Birdman and Gucci Mane

[Reck]

Took 3 quarters this time but Heat lead by more then 10.

Lin got sodomized.

[Fpoonsie]

Lol @ the lineup on the floor for the Knicks.

Christ.

[Reck]

Lol @ the lineup on the floor for the Knicks.

Christ.

D'Antoni has thrown in the towel. He knows this game has become imposible to win.

[Fpoonsie]

Apparently. That looked like the thrown-in-tha-towel Pop face on Mike earlier.

[lefty]

Lol


TNT getting trolled by Lin tonight

Big game :lol

Trollin :lol

[Banzai]

Lol Knicks.

[Reck]

Ok lets move on to the next game.

Heat are just toying with the Knicks now.

[pass1st]

Well, this is probably the hardest team for Lin to face, so at worst he plays like dog shit :tu

[Reck]

Lin looks scared to even shoot the ball.

[resistanze]

Wade being a dumbass and getting hurt as usual.

[resistanze]

Heat 104
Knicks 89

Good call son.

[Reck]

Lin got sent back to earth with authority.

[Technique]

^Enjoy the Thunder game faggot

[Halberto]

I need a gif of Norris cole faceplanting after that dunk

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol That was a fun game. Knicks have a nice little team, and that is it. Miami would beat them in 5 or sweep in a series.

[pass1st]

You must be a gook, huh. Go dry clean my shirts...:downspin:

Lol, pakifuck just keep shining my shoes and stay in the back of the bus. You're just a mouse fart in the wind these days.

:lmao Lin has too many obstacles against Miami. Chalmers is the best defensive pg in the NBA. Cole is quick and will make him work on D. Lebron/Wade/Battier can also switch onto him if necessary.

Not sure if he is the best, but he is very good. Predicted an easy Heat win.
