Same here. Until Knicks get the calls when mugged, this is going to be a difficult 2nd half of the season. refs are basically saying just hit Lin and you will win the game.

Lin got the worst of it, but I thought the entire team got smacked around. There was a point at the pub last night were I started screaming that JR and Melo should have sucker punched someone. No one though I was crazy, and this was in Virginia

at some point you have to make the refs clean up the game.. yes lin had a bad game, but he was grabbed, pushed , slapped and held all game... same with melo.... I watched norris cole drive to the hoop throw up some prayer crap shot with no where to go and get a foul.... i was like praying for a hard foul, a couple of flagrant fouls from the knicks, at least to make the refs call it tight on both ends... I think that would have worked in our favor as miami seems to like to reach every single time...

Dont expect the refs to clean anything up. We need to go out and knock some people down. Lets face it teams are going to keep hitting Lin and we need some "low key thugs" out there. Bring Walker in for 2-3 minutes a agme to set an example of some penetrating guard by knocking his ass on the floor. Maybe Tyson can learn to put is technical fouls to better use? Poke Bosh in the eye? This type of ball is getting me really depressed. Miami didn't win the game they literally beat Lin.

All in all its year for Miami 'hated hate them' HEAT to win in the 66 game fractured NBA season
if they dont win it this yr they will have problems winning after that next few seasons

But Knicks are getting better
They can be tough out in NBA playoff
Melo will get his act together

Knicks need to fret and worry about Amare Stoudemire whose consistent game is lost somewhere in space!
