Not the same player since the ACL tear. Not to mention his minutes are way down.

I'm only worried about 2 things.
1. Knicks getting a bunch of second chance opportunities.

2. Lebron jumper not falling and he keeps taking long jumpers instead of attacking the rim, would be great if we can get tyson in foul trouble.

How can you say that already? It hasn't even been a year since the injury.. everyone knows it takes 1-2 years after the injury to return to true form, and he's actually been amazing on defense the last two games (6 steals one game and held John Wall to 16 points when he normally lights us up (24 ppg career average against us) He is starting to play more comfortably as he gets more secure with his knee.

You just agreed with me. Shump is no where near the player he was pre acl tear. Not saying he wont get back there but right now he's not there. I expect wade to abuse shump for the 20minutes shump plays tomorrow.

Why DID you guys get rid of Brewer?

To make room for KMart, and I can't say I fault the front office, although it would've just been easier to waive Sheed(who may only be back for the playoffs) or Copeland.. but I guess Brewer was the only one with enough value to at least get a 2nd round pick for. We did need KMart with all our bigs being old and injury prone, its good to have 3 of them, at least one of them should stay healthy, maybe 2.. out of Camby, Sheed and Kmart. We also got Kurt Thomas but he isn't much help.

Don't know why knick fans keep bringing up two steal by shurmpet, the rookie Drummond did same thing to wade and selfosha from okc same back to back its more wade who aid in their steal because of his sloppy ball handle at that moment add that to trying be fancy.

Wow! I'm surprised Heat fans are so hyped for this game. The reality is that the Knicks haven't played well since the 18-5 start, while the Heat are on a huge hot streak.

Even if the Knicks win another one by 20, it wouldn't change much. This game means much more to the Knicks than the Heat.

P.S. don't take all the homerism seriously. It's mostly guys being sarcastic. Nobody really think JR > Wade.

i find it funny that some knicks fan called us the cHeat on the Knicks board...

But really I just want us to win because NY is a rival and I don't know how to swallow going down 0-3 to them...

I guess they feel like it's like in a viedo game when you enter a cheat code to become God-like and they have no chance whatsoever... :lol:

Yeah man! He contained Wade to 28 points on 10 of 18 shooting. Don't worry about trying to stop the guy from scoring, it's all worth it if you can steal the ball from him twice.

And they basically tried to do the same thing.

If anything they just stink at cheating :lol:

Lets pretend Shumpert was guarding him all game...

And lets also pretend like Shumpert isn't a great defensive player...

Screw the game I'm more interested in who wins the battle of the hair styles between Cole and Shumpert!

if i see this stupid video one mo time...

Look Wade loves to casually bring the ball up the court. God knows why, even that Rookie from the Bucks stole it from him twice earlier this season (was it the bucks? eh think so). Anyway this is standard with Wade when he gets lazy. Shumpert is not a wade stopper. hes too busy blowing layups

Heat_Fan_87 brought it up earlier, the second chance points Tyson creates can be a real issue if we aren't committed to getting on the glass. Plus, off those tip outs, JR has gotten good looks from 3 and you all know how he likes to kill us from out there. I feel like our best chance at winning today if we limit their 3pt attempts and makes. Remember, they hit a combined 37-80 from 3 in the first two meetings while we didn't shoot well at all.
