That game was an absolute soul destroyer, we need to avenge it...


i agree smack. lets face it the nba wanted the heat to win it all and game 1 was all the evidence i needed. I mean the refs called fousl on us even when we didnt even touch teh heat. Also tyson was sick as a dog,shump got injured, and we had no point guard.

Our offense is very inconsistant and that will cause us to loose a lot of games. And I'm still not sure of our defense.

I totally agree, I really cant say I learned anything about the knicks during preseason other the pablo is good and copland can score..other then that its been all Pnr and 3 point shooting..something the heat are masterful at defending..

the best way to beat this team..defend like crazy, every shot, every pass, every play..and offensively knock down the mid range jumpers

No one on this team can consistently knock down mid range jumpers other than kt for 15mins. Melo can somewhat but my prediction is we put up 35 threes and hopefully make them

Yeah, but how many teams have several players who can consistently knock down mid range jumpers? It's a dying art, unfortunately.

Right we dont have a jason terry like dallas did. If melo focused on his mid range jumper his numbers would be a lot more effient. Than living or dying with melos shooting

This game is going to get fugly real quickly. Not really interested in this game as I already know this will be considered a throwaway game and then it will eventually morph into several throwaway games.

Looking forward to the season finally starting. We're missing a bunch of key pieces but we do get to see some of the new additions make their debut.

The Heat are set and clicking on all Cylinders. It would be crazy to think the Knicks could function on the same level this early. The Knicks have to make up for that with aggression on D. They can't relax in this game and must keep the pressure turned all the way up. I think Woody will ride them with the whip and keep the Knicks effort level on high like he did last year. That's the key for success. Think of the Knicks more like the Pistons last title team. Somewhat ugly offense, but intense D.

This has been one of the weirdest starts to a season- the preseason was odd due to having no home games, fewer games than any other team, plus a tonne of injuries, then the hurricane, then the first game being cancelled. It just doesn't feel like our seasons about to start.

I agree with most of this- we need to get physical with them and play some killer D- plus I want to see Sheed guard Bosh, he always seems to quietly kill us. Heat looked like a juggernaut vs the Celtics.

Man we have a tough start to the season- glad they postponed the Nets game.

Don't let them run away early. Attack the basket.

IF the Knicks win that's how they're going to do it. Solid D and smart offense!

OK, since the game was cancelled yesterday and I couldn't invade the Barclays Center along with the Knicks, I am recalibrating the "Game 1" mode for tonight's game vs. the Miami Heat.

I can't wait to get this season started, and get deep into following the Knicks while keeping up with the competition.

Here's to a bigger and better year for our team. GO KNICKS!

Let's DO the damn thang this season!

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

Did anyone watch the tip of special. I liked it alot
the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

I'm so pumped... I think it gets overlooked that Melo, Chandler, and Amar'e (when he gets back) are ballers that wanted to play in NY. Guys like LeBron could have owned NY but decided to go carry Wade's jockstrap around. This is a flawed roster but I have high hopes. Go NY go NY go

That's worth the price of admission..

Kurt thomas needs to make his 15 footer with some damn regularity, that dude kills me, he's been taking the same shot for 19 yrs, there always wide open and he misses more then he makes it..by a large margin.
