The blueprint for beating this team is simple. We need another monster game from Brunson which includes him hitting a few threes and getting to the line. Hopefully we get some nice zebras who show him respect. We also need Randle and RJ to pitch in and help out. We need to hit our threes. In both of our wins in game two and five, we hit 29/74 threes (39%). We also need to kill them on the glass. Got to clean up the turnovers, poor FT shooting and poor three point defense. Hopefully Bam doesn't injure anyone else too.

Butler is going to go for the kill shot so we have to be ready. They do not want to play a game seven at the Garden so they will bring their A game in terms of effort and desperation. I just want to go out fighting. If this is the game where this season ends, leave it all out on the floor. We cannot have Randle say after the game that maybe they wanted it more. If they beat us, it's because they were the better basketball team who just made more plays and hit more shots.

JUST WIN BABY - get this back for game 7.

- Need big effort/rebounding nights from Mitch/Jules/I-Hart/J-Hart
- defensive rotations on point
- big nights from Jalen/RJ —— maybe Jules
- Grimes stay out of foul trouble—- same for Josh

Good luck folks —- probably going to be excruciating win or lose

LOL! Love it.
The Knicks are 3-2. After losing game 1 at home, the Knicks just needed to win 1 road game to regain HCA. While we didn't like losing games 3 and 4, that was still okay. This is that game we need to take on the road.

The NBA wants it to happen too - they're turning on "team-assist" mode to make Miami earn this one the hard way at home.

I don't care who the zebras are as long as they call Bam on his moving screen bs and Lowry's flopping!

Martin, can you please fix the title?

1 game at a time. I pray we have one of those games where we shoot lights out from 3.

Isn't this random, or is there really some angle to keep the series going 7!

I've thought we were the better team. But maybe our guys just needed a bit of play off pressure to adjust and now that we're adjusting, we're beating this stupid Heat team.

Even if we lose tonight, the season will have been a wild success.

We just need them to miss all those wide open 3's on the weak side again

Anthony Chiang: Caleb Martin this AM on the Knicks loading up vs. Jimmy Butler in this series: “No matter what type of scheme that you have, he’s going to figure out a way to manipulate it and we just got to do our job on the weak side and make shots.” – via Twitter

They are even saying the obvious out loud.

Isn't this the same ref that has the beef going with Chris Paul?

Glad you specified which moving screen you were talking about...too many possibilities!

Great work. We are gonna shoot 50% from 3, outrebound them by a dozen and win it big tonight and NOW WE KNOW WHY HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Miami can eat a bag of dicks. IDK how we get to a game on Sunday just make it happen.

I HOPE this generation of Miami fans gets to fully enjoy something like that. Like suspending a whole team for stepping off the bench but NOT getting involved. Something like that

Watch them call an offenssive foul on Butler's game winning 3 on play away from ball (Bam shoving Randle). Knicks win!!!! LOLOLOL

James Butler wrote:“They did their job, they protected home court and we’ve got to respond on Friday.”

And if that means someone on the Heat playing the entire game, as Brunson and Grimes did?

“If [Spoelstra] tells me to play 48 minutes, I’ll be suited and booted and ready to do that,” said star forward Jimmy Butler, who missed Game 2 with an ankle injury. “And we’ll win.”

Matching Grimes on Butler for 48 minutes is such a win for us. Our boy just turned 23. He's a phucking stallion. You wanna 48 with Grimes? Oh god please try baby. IDK what could be more helpful than a gassed Butler with 3 minutes to go in a tight game. That's one challenge I think we are set to handle.

Miami used to cry over the referee Nick Beveretta used to call him Knick. I remember Tim Holloway complaining.
