This is what it's come to. Never mind advancing: Can the Knicks win their first playoff game in 11 years? Can they do it against Miami? One win???

Full crowing privileges to whomever gets this right.

a better poll might be - Can they stick with the game plan for more then 5 minutes before Melo decides it's time to play 1 on 5

I think they WILL win Thursday. Melo needs to get about 30 (but not with 30 shots). The biggest thing he needs to KNOW is with the defense coming at him, he can also set up others and get about 10 or more assists. Novak needs more than 3 shots. Same with J.R., score but get others involved. Knicks need about 30 assists, everybody needs to rebound and get to the free throw line. Don't just do what Miami expects, surprise and confuse them.

I agree. The Knicks have been running some pretty bad offense only in spurts have they really been disciplined and moved the ball as they should. We need to force the Heat to guard the entire floor and keep the ball moving until we get a good shot. There have been open players but Melo has tended to force shots rather than pass to the open man. We can't go another game without getting Novak a ton of open looks.

Misterearl put it best to you:

Fix The Knicks Offense

Save the silly strategy diagrams and video clips. Save the unfavorable matchups for another day.

Please save the amateur armchair coaching.

Find Mike Woodson an aggressive and healthy point guard.

It ain't that deep.

Of course Woodson has a plan! He plans to dye his beard sometime before the game starts.

I think it would be a good sign if Woody would dye his beard in rainbow colors. Then I'd be more confident of a win.
