I don't even care if the Rockets are bounced, I'm looking forward to some damn good basketball. There are definitely some compelling series!

Are we talking about the NBA? That's going to be a sweep with every game won by 20 points.

Yeah I don't see that Miami/NY series as all that compelling.

Memphis/LA Clips ought to be interesting. Possibly Dallas/Lakers might be pretty good.

I think New York will surprise people. They're like 17-6 since Woodson has taken over (2nd best record to the Spurs in that time span) They are playing defense and Melo is playing at a very high level.

nYk will push 'em to 6, MAYBE 7, before succumbing. Should be a damn good series though! Pulling for the 'Bockers

Miami's defense down the stretch will prevail. I think you could potentially say both teams are about on par offensively, but Miami's defense is going to win this series fairly easily for them.

Idk MassAggie--nYk can play some pretty stout defense. I was kind of assuming the opposite would happen. Miami's talent on offense would eventually overcome whatever the Knicks try to do to stop them.

Should be interesting either way, and I think it'll tell us a lot about this Miami team right off the bat.

NYK has had the #2 defense in the league since Woodson has taken over and has one of the best records in the league also. In recent games, they've gotten wins over Chicago, Boston, and the Clippers. Plus, 3 of the best 5-6 players in the league will be on the court at the same time and Melo is playing out of his mind lately.

New York and Miami are 4th and 5th in the league in defensive efficiency for the entire season, and that includes significant time with Dantoni as coach and with Tyson Chandler banged up. I think you are highly underrating New York's defense -- it's the strength of their team right now.

It's obviously crazy to think NY can beat Miami, but they can make the series entertaining. THink about it, Chandler is anchoring that defense. Melo is one of the few guys in the league athletic enough to stay in front of Lebron. Guys like Iman Shumpert are extremely underrated and he gave Wade a lot of troubles in their last game and even picked his pocket 3 or 4 times. Plus, the Garden is going to be ON FIRE. I could see NY taking this to 7 games. It'll be entertaining on pure star power, too.

I would love for NY to win just so that LeBron can endure more punishment for his "Decision" last year. I hope somehow he retires without a ring and becomes a tale of "what could have been".

Can't believe I am rooting for NY, wow.

agree with poster above me, cant believe I'm rooting for a New York team, but here I am.

I think the Knicks have a fighting chance in this series. Hopefully it's entertaining at least, bc thats all ESPN will be taking about for the next two weeks.

I would love to see Wade come out of the gate as the trash talking, message sending enforcer like he did against the Celtics last year. Maybe do something to get Amare riled up. I hope the Knicks compete in Miami

Tyson Chandler sick, may miss game 1.

I think New York is better off without Lin against Miami.

Carmelo blows- this is over in 4 and they should call it at 2 games

I agree with the crowd that feels Miami will handle the Knicks. This series doesn't go past 5 games. New York is never going to be a force with Amare and Carmello as their number 1 and 2, even when Lin becomes healthy. Amare is washed up. They should try and sucker some eastern conference cellar dweller into trading for him.

I'm not a fan of either of these teams, but these refs are freaking terrible

That is one the worst flagrant calls I've ever seen. Also a horrible flop.

wasn't a flop. He had whiplash from the screen.

That being said, was not a flagrant.

The initial head jerk was real. The putting the arms up and falling to the ground? Come on.

Lol Lebron tried to throw his arms out in a flop motion but then realized his neck hurt too much from the whiplash. Not a flagrant.

the joke is NYK not playing with intensity. This happens every year in playoff basketball. The Heat are flying all over the court, of course they're going to get the calls. This was a close game for a while, then the Knicks self destructed.

Perfect example of how the refs can control a game by taking the fire out of a team. Nothing that the Knicks are doing differently than Miami on the defensive end, but they aren't getting ANY calls.

And before any Mavs fans starts talking... Miami attacked while y'all shot from the outside. Not the same thing as this game.

Knicks offense was terrible, couple that with some sheety reffing and you get this.
