TWO KNICKS THAT WILL BE MAJOR IN CREATING THE PERFECT STORM
There was someone on the Knicks’ roster who once averaged 10.6 points and 3.0 assists across a full 82-game NBA schedule? What if I told you that guy was 26 years old, healthy, and undoubtedly fresh since he hasn’t exactly had to deal with much recent wear and tear? Or that as recently as last year he had scoring outbursts of 30, 29 and 28, had a couple of double-doubles, knocked down nine 3-pointers in a game? Yes that is Toney Douglas. We need him and
33 year old Mike Bibby to have the next three games of their life's.
We need Melo to be Melo. Jr and Novak must make it Rain along with some help from Bibby and Toney Douglas. Amare seems to play better with only his right hand due to him not trying to dribble 10 feet from the basket. Tyson Chandler is far removed from having the Flu. Tyson will shut down the lane tonight.
History will show that the heat failure was to close out New York last Sunday. Now??? With all the injuries the Knicks have, they have created THE PERFECT STORM.
The Knicks shock the world tonight and Blow out the HEAT to bring game 6 back to the Garden. Final Score Knicks 99- Heat 87..Believe it!
The Knicks were faced with a true test of character going into Game 4 of the series against Miami and my NY Knicks passed with flying colors. The Knicks were able to prevent the series sweep and end the thirteen game playoff losing streak. The Knicks won Game 4, 89 – 87, ensuring our season will last at least one more game, going back to Miami for Game 5.
Stoudemire was unexpectedly able to suit up for Game 4 and he set the tone for the Knicks very early in the game with some good hustle play. He was playing as if he knew he had disappointed the fans with his moment of stupidity and he was out to make a statement in Game 4, and the statement was indeed made. New York played with intensity and inspiration but went into halftime down by six points, 38 - 44.
In the 3rd quarter the Knicks were able to come from an 11 points deficit and the fans got behind the team, shouting, “Beat the Heat!!! Beat the Heat!!!” The Knicks had led in the 1st quarter, struggled in the 2nd quarter and began to rally in the 3rd quarter.

Melo to Lebron " You will see my face three more games... BYOTCH."
Despite minimal offensive contributions from JR, Novak,,,, MELO and Amare ended Ewing's Curse. The Fat lady was warming up to sing..only to shove
a 12 inch hot-dog down her robust throat! A few years ago the Boston Red soxs overcame the Curse of the Bambino when they came back from
0-3 to beat our very own Yankees! When Landry, JR and Novak step up in Miami the Knicks will bring it back to Miracle on 33RD street. Believe it!
NBA teams down 0-3 in best-of-sevens are 0-100 in their attempts to win the series.There is no reason these 2012 Knicks could not be the first. Just believe. A 1000 mile journey begins with one step. We have taken ours, next step ..South Beach on Wednesday! LGK
(Editors Note: Check out last night's LBE to get a true sense of the frustration which accompanied the dubious distinction of our playoff losing streak record. Fanatics welcome our new reporter Y. Scott who will provide us recap commentary. I htink he has one more game to comment on this season.)
After being shellacked by the Heat at home, the Knicks are now distinctively known as the team which has lost thirteen straight playoff games, an NBA record, after losing to Miami in Game 3. Last night the Heat took firm grip of the playoff series with an 87 – 70 victory in Game 3, to lead the series 3 – 0 and will be looking for the sweep on Sunday.
The Knicks were without three starters but were still able to bring a stern defense that was lacking in the previous games. The Knicks were playing their best basketball of the series but only led by as much as four points going into halftime and by as much as eleven points the entire game.
What made the victory more impressive for the Heat was the fact that LeBron had to sit on the bench early in the 3rd quarter due to foul trouble. This led to the emergence of Dwayne Wade to take control of the game, giving Miami the lead and they never looked back. The Knicks were limited to eight field goals the entire second half and James ended the 4th quarter with 17 points. The entire game was a dogfight, full of physicality and lack of offense from both sides.
The Knicks played some commendable basketball; when Carmelo Anthony is jumping for loose balls you know the Knicks gave it their all. Carmelo shot 7 of 23 for 22 points in a losing effort. The Knicks were simple outclassed by a much better team last night and for the entire series. I am a fan of the Knicks but the same storyline is expected come Sunday.
