Compare this to the playoff heat series of years past. There was no flopping back then. This flopping stuff is really destroying the game.

Comon, the heat is playing with crazy intensity and the refs surely didn't make Melo shoot 1-9.

Now we have to find a good way to get him the ball in good conditions, not 200 ft far from the basket.

It was bad enough that Melo wasn't on his game, but the Refs just took the game away from the Knicks with all these calls. This is one of the worst cases of flopping and ticky tack fouls i've seen in a playoff game. Just unreal.

Man, FFFUUUCCCKKK The HEAT AND the REFS. Floppin'ass LeBYAATCH needs to be just leveled...

Bring Jerome Jordan in to Metta World Peace that bastard.

We had to stay close in order to remain in striking distance but everything melted down in the 2nd frikkin quarter.

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Go outside during the break- enjoy the sun and the sky, orange and blue like the Knicks. Listen to the beauty of not hearing Mike Breen. Come back for the 2nd half and watch it on mute.

If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

It ain't the refs.........

This is the same way they played us all year.......

Words and tough talk don't win games. Media sound bites and words of confidence by knicks is "same old...Same old"

They tell us what we want to hear.

Lebron is not clowning this year. No smiling or dancing. Just business.

Today is a good example.

This one is on Carmelo Anthony much like game 1 last year you need to set the tone. He's been an embarrassing disaster. Hopefully he gets it going on the second.

But, this ref situation has been horrific. 6 plus fouls in the first that should have gone our way took points off the board. Takes all the guys out of the game and kills any momentum

Refs or no refs, the Knicks played pathetic basketball. Especially Carmelo.

Disgraceful performance from both the refs and the Knicks.

No, this is what happens when this plan is denied and you don't adjust.
The plan can work, but it has to be somehow adjusted to how the Heat ios playing us right now.
Kudos to spoelstra, this is really well thought playoff D.

I'm sure we can adjust though, maybe more screens to free Melo closer to the basket.

I was looking forward to a hard fought game by both teams. It started out that way and then the stripes just wouldn't let the Knicks back in the game. What a shame!

We have played like c***, but I don't see what we're supposed to do when the slightest touch on defense gets called as a foul, an actual fould gets called a flagrant, while on offense we get nothing called in our favour.

Carmelo is being selfish today. The Heat is quadruple teaming him, and he is begging for the ball. Just give up the ball. We have so many capable bodies on this team. I really can't believe I am saying this, but Baron Davis is really having a good game. Let him do his thing.

I've been saying that for years. Major cause of watering down the NBA.

I am so glad that Jeff Van Gundy doesn't give a **** about David Stern is criticizing the calls in this game. Unbelieveable. Normally a strategy might be to foul hard if the Heat drive the paint but there is no doubt that any fouls that amount to more than incidental contact will be called flagrant.

Yes but our complete lack of offense is NOT helping anything. We did NOT prepare for the heat defense.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!
