Heat defense - amazing. LeBron - the beast.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread

Yeah, his neck looks pretty bad right now. Couldn't walk for a few minutes after the call and now he's perfectly fine.

Yeah Bron just did his Hulkamania impersonation..I totally agree with SVG its crazy. Bron was always bad at flopping but seems like it is done much more than before by most of the Heat. Well they wanted Battier there to help, guess he brought a little more than experience.

Please. So the Knicks being totally inept at running any kind of polished offensive set has nothing to do with? Their whole offense this half has been to trying and force feed Melo while he's being denied 25 ft from the basket and if that doesn't work jack up a contest jumpshot.

You're right, but to say the flopping hasn't been out of hand and has had a big impact is silly too.

Knicks have not played all too well.

JR Smith has played pretty bad, turning it over and such. Amare has pretty much disappeared tonight. Melo hasn't shown up yet.

Not a lot of missed calls. A lot of those offensives fouls were rightly called.

Yeah, this is not all on the refs.

It isn't the result.. It is the ****ty calls. Oh yeah, and the 26-5 free throw difference

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread

The truth.

It's not wrong except nobody has said differently so I don't know who he's responding too. Obviously the Knicks are still getting outplayed.

[weeeeeeez]

Even though the refs are clearly in the Heat favor the Knicks played and awful second quarter and can't blame anyone but themselves.

And the New York Knicks now know what it felt like to be the 2005-2006 Dallas Mavericks.

My god........

I love OS come playoff time.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread

Knicks should just send Chandler out to cough and sneeze on Lebron/Wade and get them sick for the next few games.

That would be my strategy as a coach at least.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread

This thread just exploded, did something out of the ordinary happen? Or did the Heat just continue flopping? I was just switching the channel over to watch Yo Gabba Gabba with the daughter.

Seriously though, I can't bring myself to call this basketball.

Your daughter would find that Lebron flop a lot more entertaining than dancing on Yo Gabba Gabba.

My god........

Sorry, the whole thing when they mentioned LeBron shooting more free throws than the Knicks combined brought that up.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread

James has 23pts. His +/- is +24 and together with Battier has shut down Melo.

And the suspect calls going against them doesn't have an effect either...

Truth.

Yeah, the flopping from Bron and Battier has been bad.

But its definitely not the main reason that the Knicks are down 20.

The Knicks have been completely inept on offense, and a lot of that is being caused by the Heat playing some pretty damn good defense. Melo and Amare have been completely neutralized by the Heat.
