We were going to lose either way, but yes, there were several non-calls on Mourning and several plays where Wade got calls on kinds of plays that were non-calls on the other end. That kind of reputation-based injustice can be infuriating, but you just have to shrug your shoulders... nothing you can do about it.

Yes please someone post Brown's comments...

if you check the MSG site in an a little while, you should be able to listen to it.

Thanks for the highlight, T. That dunk was sick...

I gotta say though, that ad blinking in the middle of the vid is totally obnoxious. That's the kinda thing that would make me intentionally not go to a website. They need to put that ad in the bottom right corner or something...

this whole season has been about the home team getting major home-cooking. the Knicks have only played 4 home games, so we've been on the short end of the stick a lot so far. the Heat took 20 more FTs than the Knicks and made 16 more FTs that the Knicks, they won by 13. The math is pretty easy. Sure, the Heat created and hit open jumpers, but the Knicks created just as many and by the end of the game they were hitting the ones the Heat hit early. The difference was FTs, plain and simple. Frye got no calls on the inside, he's a rookie going against Zo and Haslem and Doleac, what can you do?

I don't think the Knicks played too poorly tonight outside of the awful stretch in the 2nd quarter where the game got out of hand, but even then, it had a lot to do with the way the whistles rolled. Bottom line, we aren't going to get those calls until we're an established team. The Heat are an established team and they got the calls.
