Felton looks like Isaiah Thomas out there. I mean...he looks like...never mind.

Yes, they are playing very well.

I called it before the seasson. You and Hoss told me I was wrong, and there is no need to have an opinion so early. They are a lock to make the playoffs, and even though they cant win anything, they are competitive and have a pulse.

As usual you are full of crap. Here is the conversation. We said no trends and no need to make a definitive opinion after two games. You also said the Heat are no worse than 67-15. Good luck with that one Nosssssssstradamus.

My early seassssssson strategy is the Nets and Knicks are both just a bit better then people think... Bet them when its right, lay off when its not.

I have to admit that they have started to pique my intrest. I actually watched the second half last night and thought that they were pretty entertaining. They do seem like they are on the improve (the next 15 games will tell alot as they start to get into the varsity part of the schedule), but they definitely need to get better defensively. It's a refreshing change as opposed to what has gone on with them in the past decade.

Amare, WTF?
Is he really this good? When the Knicks first got him, I did not like it.
But Wow so far tonight.

He is playing in New York just like he did here in Phoenix, lots of points and rebounds, but little defense. It looks as though he is helping them, but its a long season.

They were exposed tonight. Tied at the half and then the Heat put their foot down on the pedal. They really had no answer for Lebron who looked like he could score at wil tonight. Also they did a great job shutting down Amare. The only think that I couldn't understand from the Knick side was why they stopped giving the ball to Gallinari. He was unconscious in the first half and in the 3rd quarter he hardly had a touch. It's nice that they are competitve again, but by the looks of tonight they still have a ways to go. But it's still much better than it was.

Lets be realistic big guy... What team has an answer for Miami? I can tell you, maybe 2 in the entire NBA.... Boston and maybe LA.

Where did I say that the Knicks had the answer for beating Miami? I just stated that the Heat exposed the Knicks (who have been playing very well) in the second half. They made them look very one dimensional while putting the clamps down on Amare. Obviously the Heat are one of top teams in the league.

Ray and Paul are still studs and so smooth.
Danilo is a monster.

What an ending. I'm just happy that they are fun to watch again, I look forward to Friday night against Miami.

Great game, but Boston is the class. Everyone should know that.
Boston and Miami are 1-2. The Knicks could be legit 3rd best team in the East.

I gotta admit I'm not really up to date on anyone else in the east besides those 3, but realistically the Knicks can't play any better than they did tonight and it still wasn't enough. I honestly don't care, like I said I'm just happy that they are fun to watch again.

They're not better than Orlando. Considering that the Hawks suck ass this year, they may be 4th.

Had to laugh at Spike showing his ass right before it became obvious the shot wouldn't count.
