U salty hahaha. BRON wasnt built for that NYC stage. And he was better in Cleveland so yeah us NYC are the last ones laughing

Yeah I'm thinking about it now and Bron would've been eaten alive with the amount of clutch shots he's missed by NYC media.

Why shouldn't Cavs fans be laughing? He left the team and they obviously hate him. I'm sure they all want to see Bron fail despite their team sucking. As for Knicks fans why can't we laugh? Cuz we lost to the Cavs 3 times? I'd take losing to them a 4th time if it mean facing the Heat in the 1st round knowing every game would be close with their squad devoid of clutch shot makers.

cavs have the worst record in the league... knicks cant beat the cav, but laugh at us when we lose to a good team?

It's a regular season loss to the Cavs. Get over it. We have. You can keep bringing it up but which one matters? Constantly losing to good teams or losing to bad teams that won't be a factor when it matters in the playoffs?

I mean which will matter in game 7 with 5 seconds left down by 1? That the Knicks loss to the Cavs 3, maybe 4 times or that Heat fail too keep big leads against good teams and continue to fail to get a clutch shots against good teams??????

So yeah, Knicks fans can laugh cuz we actually beat some of these good teams your team continually fails to beat.

the only team yall beat that we CONTINUALLY lose to is the bulls THATS IT... not TEAMS, ONE TEAM.... so just relax and enjoy being 2 games over .500

Boston?

1. 0 Offense creativity (with Bosh, Wade, and Lebron on the same team there is no excuse for them to be taking fadeaway Jumpers and contested jumpers). Without offense creativity they are easier to guard (play zone and let them shoot themselves out of the game).

2. No leadership (Where are the leaders on the team that will make Lebron and Wade accountable for consistently turning over the ball in key situations)?

3. Inconsistent Defense ( When everything is going well Miami is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, but as soon as things don't go well they get lazy on defense)

4. Inconsistent Role Players ( Mike Miller is essentially stealing game checks. He was brought in to make open shots and he's been terrible the entire year).

Great post. 

The 4th point you made is where they really miss Udonis. He's a very good mid range jumper, who's not afraid to bang in the post and get the tough rebounds and he would provide a level of toughness their frontline is lacking.
  

Actually a dumb post, but valient effort.

1. I would assert that most team with dominant individual scorecers eventually degenerate into isolation, i didn't see any offensive creativity fromt he bulls at the end of that game. Just some desperation shots made, contested shots converted and lucky bounce or two.

2. Uh, good defense forces turnovers that which the bulls have, you and I have no idea about he quality of leadership in the locker room so it's pointless to pretend you do.

3. Anybody who watched that can't tell me the heat were anything other than EXCELLENT defense at the end there, the bulls converted some tough shots at got some lucky bounces but the D was excellent.

4. Correct.

You only got number 1 out of 4 so I think you fail at basketball analysis.

I can't understand this obsession with Udonis Haslem, you really want to play him at 4 and Bosh at 5 in crunch time? Really? For teams with real size I'd much rather go Damps/Bosh/Miller/Lebron/Wade.

No offense but your opinion isn't fact, so stop pretending like it is.

Or maybe it was a joke, or a maybe I literally don't understand what an opinion is. I would guess joke.

Come here my son... its just regular season.... I know your hurt.... but let me break it down for you...

The heat are (43-19) and the Chicago Bulls (42-1.... they have similar records right now coming out of the all star break but be real, there is NO similarity in their records against the winning teams in the NBA. The Bulls have been solid all season, with a record of 17-9 against teams over .500,

The Heat are 10-17,

They've been dragging losing teams and it has been entertaining to watch, but when its a winning team you see what it is.

Heat are 3rd in the East and thats cool, but until they start closing some winning teams...

1. I would assert that most team with dominant individual scorecers eventually degenerate into isolation, i didn't see any offensive creativity fromt he bulls at the end of that game. Just some desperation shots made, contested shots converted and lucky bounce or two.

  The Bulls don't have the offensive firepower that Miami does.  Miami's offensive  firepower is exactly what baffles most people about Miami.  They struggle to get good offense for an entire game  even against  poor defensive teams i.e  the Knicks.

2. Uh, good defense forces turnovers that which the bulls have, you and I have no idea about he quality of leadership in the locker room so it's pointless to pretend you do.

   So I guess the three on one fast break travel by Lebron was a result of good D?  Miami has at least four of those plays every game.  On the leadership point, LeBron and Wade are constantly talking about how much they lead in practice and hold their teammates accountable but that doesn't seem to stop them from making poor decisions.  I guess a team that has great leadership will  blow huge leads in games (Orlando (twice), Chicago (twice), New York, etc)?
 
3. Anybody who watched that can't tell me the heat were anything other than EXCELLENT defense at the end there, the bulls converted some tough shots at got some lucky bounces but the D was excellent.

  I guess giving Orlando wide open threes the entire second half was EXCELLENT defense?

4. Correct.

You only got number 1 out of 4 so I think you fail at basketball analysis.

I can't understand this obsession with Udonis Haslem, you really want to play him at 4 and Bosh at 5 in crunch time? Really? For teams with real size I'd much rather go Damps/Bosh/Miller/Lebron/Wade.

Considering all your grammatical mistakes, your post is actually quite funny.  Where did I specifically refer to this game in my analysis?
