The Heat!

If the Knicks beat the Heat, but lose later on, it will still be a great thing fans witnessed.

It will be a great confidence booster if the Knicks win against Miami (the team favored to win it all), which will be great for the rest of the postseason run.

I think it can be a great match up if Amar'e and Melo can finally get it together by that time. Melo will want to shut down Lebron, and maybe Amar'e can finally live up to "hunting for Lebron and Wade".

I want Chicago. It's not even close.

I would rather beat Miami but that's not happening.

I'll side with Kane on this one. Miami's weakness is mental, and we would have a chance to beat them if somehow we managed to make them lose their confidence. The Bulls are way tougher.

Chicago

Lebron alone would kill us... no matter what or who we put on him...

even though I think Lebron would be considered the best player in the league(and one of the best players ever) if he wasnt such a choker ...

he would not be choking against the knicks.. that only happens when the pressure gets ratcheted up as he nears the finals or is in them

btw maybe its his year this year....

Miami is at a completely different level than Chicago. Chicago is a good team, but they're very flawed and they can be beat when Rose has a bad shooting day.

Rose had a bad shooting night last night, and they still beat the pacers by 20.

Pray for the Bulls.

Knicks will need more confidence before playing Miami.

He hit 3/6 from 3 and the Pacers are a horrible offensive team. Chicago can be beat. They are hardly as good in the playoffs as they are during the regular season.

Change a couple team names around and it's still accurate.

I think I'd prefer the Bulls but it's close for me. You never know if the Heat reach the playoffs and start pressing because of the pressure to win.

If this team is clicking on all cylinder, we can beat both these teams. However, I would say the Heat.

Dallas beat the Heat in the finals with almost the same kind of team we have. A deep team capable of putting up a lot of points.


Right now we can't beat any off those teams because we are not clicking.
Clicking means/ Amare is a beast again, Lin plays well, JR smith finds his stroke from deep, and Melo plays a little better then he is playing now and brings his average up to 26ppg.

we are not getting out of the 7th or 8th seed...In fact, we are going to blow away the opportunity to catch up to Philly and Boston will surpass them

Oh yeah, both the Bulls and Heat with rape us out of the gym

Call me crazy but as a Bulls fan I would love to see Knicks vs Heat matchup in the 1st round. IMO, Melo always plays good/great vs LeBron and Amare seems to not like Bosh at all. If JR Smith and Baron Davis can help that bench you have, I really think Knicks can surprise everyone and make it a series.

Not saying Knicks don't have a chance vs Bulls but I personally would love to see Knicks vs Heat in the 1st round. I actually think you guys if you can get into their heads, you might even have a chance.

We will see.
