The old Heat Knicks was a great rivalry because both teams were consistently good, not to mention the fights. Let the new Knicks prove they're actually worth something before we call it a rivalry again. Last year, the Melo/Amare Knicks were on about a 40 win pace... I kind of doubt it, but this team could be a repeat of the Isiah era when it comes to overrated selfish talent underachieving.
Thankfully, none of the current Knicks have as many off-the-court issues as the Isiah Knicks did, like Marbury and his antics or Curry/Jerome James eating their way out of the NBA.
Come on peeps... Knicks & the Heat are two of the top 4 seeds in the East. The Heat will probably get #1/2 the Knicks may get 2-4... Lets see what happens... The matchup was intense last year and lets not forget the 40 win pace... We had Melo only from the All Star Break and there was no Tyson Chandler... Sure we had Billups but he was an aging guard in a new system.
Didnt that Melo, Amare squad beat the Heat in Mid February after the trade?
& Dude... are you really forgetting you have that lazy fat ass Curry on your squad? Man... I really wanted that kid to succeed and when he played well... boy did he play well... but wait till you see how his dramas and fiscal irresponsibility drive your team crazy! lol! Perhaps if one of you are nutritionists or financial advisers you can get him some help.
Hopefully Baron Davis comes in healthy in February...
Knicks vs Heat = Playoff type atmosphere... Don't get it twisted... We Are Coming For You
