As a Knick fan I just believe that we're up 2-0 on the Celtics. Pierce and Garnett have owned us for such a long time.

Haha.

Celts will win at least 1 in Boston, I think, but this team is done. Nobody's touching the Heat anyway.

I think the Knicks can touch the Heat. They matchup really well against them.

What is touch? Win a game or two? You don't honestly believe you can beat them 4 times in games that matter at the highest level?

When you're a fan you believe your team can do anything so yes I do believe that the Knicks can beat the Heat if they were fortunate enough to see them again this season.

As a longtime Knick fan I readily admit we will not/can not beat the Heat. I'm nervous enough about the Pacers next round.
 
A lot of Knicks fans are pretty confident, since the Knicks played well against the Heat this year. I guess, like JaY said, when you're a fan, you have to believe.

Like the Celtics, the Heat can rush out to a sizable halftime. Unlike the Celts, the Heat won't score 30 points in the second half. Hey, I'd love to see it happen. I've got no love for Miami. But I would be surprised if it lasted 6 games.
 
The Knicks gotta keep the pedal to the medal and not go into Boston with a feeling of comfort. I will talk about the Heat when/if they get there.

This. Maybe the Bulls can do us a solid and beat them up for 7 games for us.

I'm cool with fans believing they can win. Having said that, Miami is on a different level now than at any time this season. These aren't early season games or games with backup guys starting. These are playoff games against a team that has played in two straight finals and won the last one. I sometimes think people look at Miami, see the star power and forget that they are a battle tested championship team. Upsets happen but it seems like it will take something unimaginable for someone to beat Miami.
 
I am a huge Knicks fan and I think they can challenge the Heat better than any other team in the Eastern Conference but I think that if we get lucky enough to see a Knicks/Heat series that at most it will go to 6 games. Would love to be wrong though.

Knicks up 16 at the half. Pierce looks injured.

Including the playoffs Miami is 40-2 in their last 42 games. :eek:

Glad we won this one so we didn't give Boston any life or hope.

I just hope we repay them the sweep they gave us two years ago.

Just put it away on Sunday, I was at the game tonight, its amazing what a difference a pg makes vs a team without one. Shump, Prigs D was amazing, and Kidd playing reduced minutes makes a big difference. I have a friend who personally knows the Knicks shooting coach Dave Hopla I was able to meet him after the game. Tyson and Kmart kept rotating in and out and wore down KG. JR has gotta keep his cool.
 
Amazing how many Cs fans wanted to toss Ray on the scrap heap for Avery Bradley, even before Ray walked (not this board, since we're biased). A fresh Bradley tends to look great in the regular season when he is playing harder than everyone else (to his credit). In the playoffs, though, everyone plays hard and Bradley doesn't stand out. He regresses to the ordinary: a guy who can't create anything for himself or others, and who you can help off of with no fear.

Yeah - Ray was (and is) near the end of his line and can't guard anyone any more, so Bradley was a needed piece to the puzzle and they could have co-existed. Plus Rondo's absence now probably hurts Bradley, since defenses aren't broken down for him. But the notion that Bradley was talented enough to be a full-time replacement at the 2 with an aging Pierce/Garnett, making Ray unneeded, was crazy.

That's awesome, I was excited when I heard Hopla was working with the players. Woodson keeps throwing different players at KG and Pierce and the overall schemes he's used to shut them down has me excited for our playoff run. And that Priggy Smalls dive was insane. Guy plays with so much heart.

Us Knicks fans know that better than anyone the last two years. Billups got hurt in 2011 and Lin last year. We basically had Toney Douglas as our starting PG in the playoffs.

wait what? Celtics were gassed but lets not ignore how bad the Knicks looked @ home. still looks like a tight series. They need Bradley and green to be more consistent. In Avery's case, less cheap fouls.
Expand ...
Excuse me ? Knicks are up 3-0 and were leading the Cs at home by nearly 20 at times.

The very definition of NOT tight. More like OVER
 
The Knicks allowed the Celtics 48 2nd half points total in 2 games at MSG. The Knicks looked good...the Celtics looked bad.
 
While the Knicks have been pretty good I laugh at the "great "defense they suddenly play according to the mouth pieces.......the C's are OLD as hell and are plain dreadful........Garnett and Pierce should be put out to pasture and it's a good thing they let Ray take off and disrespected him!!:eek:
 
I think that the second half of the NBA season proved that the Knicks aren't going to be the elite defensive team that people thought they would be in that initial stretch early in the year but they have been good in this series. Boston's injuries and age has certainly contributed to that though.

I don't think the Knicks will beat the Heat but I think that if they do end up playing that they can give them a hard time over a couple of games. I just hope to see it.
 
Hey I would love nothing more than the Knicks shooting lights out a series with the Heat and taking them out.........I don't think they'll get enough calls to win the series though!

JR Smith suspended due to Terry's academy award winning flop.

You have to be a Knicks fan to not see why he was suspended as he threw the 'bow with intent.........however shame on the refs for allowing Terry to slap away on Smith and piss him off w/o a call......
Expand ...
 

Terry baited him and JR took it and retaliated.

I hate the fact that that's a suspension in the NBA these days, especially in the playoffs.

But Smith has to be able to control his emotions with an 18-point lead in the 4th quarter better than he did. He deserves a suspension just for being a duck*ing idiot.

Garnett and Pierce should be put out to pasture and it's a good thing they let Ray take off and disrespected him!!

Can we cool it with the garbage about the Celtics disrespecting Ray? Sometimes two sides don't see eye to eye on something, and it makes sense for them to move on from one another.

Read this if you really think Doc/the Celtics treat their players so horribly.
 
Knicks fans are unbelievable , picking a post I made after game 1 where the Knicks definitely did look shakey. I hope winning two series vindicates your season. Oh yah when's the last time knicks have won a playoff series? 2001?!?!? Congrats carmelo

I'd say after the Isaiah years, winning 50 games, taking the division title for the first time in 19 years, getting out of the first round by ending the KG-Pierce era, this has been an extraordinary year. A sweep would literally be icing on the cake.
