I agree. Poor ball movement and spacing and lack of focus on both ends of the court. I wish they would set some screens for Melo now and then. Its amazing how few screens are set for him in a game, even when he can't get a good look.

He sure plays like it. The guy wants to score, but get killed on Defense.

We are playing scared and just pass the ball on the perimeter. You don'T get FTs shooting 30 ft jumpers.

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.

I'm sorry but I really believe that if JR would've gotten calls on his first two trips to the bucket while the game was still tight, we would've been in an offensive groove.

What usually happens is that once the game is out of reach, in the second half, the ref's will start calling fouls in our favour so that the ned totals of fouls and FT's don't look so bad.

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

Absolutely no penetration = no foul shots ===> leads to a Knicks lost.

DRose out and could be bad knee.

We should have tanked! Bulls without Rose are beatable in a series.

But we got the Heat and they bitchSlapped good!

don't forget walks only occur if you have a blue jersey on.

I hear that. I rarely if ever complain about refs but this is like watching a game run by the mob.

Knicks did not play well enough to stay in the game the past 6 minutes, but that officiating is disgraceful at this point. I obviously want to see the team come out strong in the 3rd and try to fight their way back into it...but I would be fine taking a knee on game 1 and using the rest of the game time sending a message to Miami. If they want the whistles, give them the fouls that go with it.

Watching that 90's Knicks/Heat video got me too worked up.

The Knicks have imploded. But some of these calls are just backbreakers. The STAT charge to me might be what did it. One of the refs had his arm up for an and one! Instead, it's a turnover and another foul on Amare. Then the "flagrant," which was called just because The Unicorn Prince's head snapped back. Two shots, the ball back, a three point play.

One of the most frustrating games I have ever seen.

People are blaming the refs to deflect from the fact that Amare and Carmelo still don't mesh together and the team is playing awful and the coaching is awful.

Yes, the refs suck, but this team played itself into this deficit for the most part.
