    Just Watching the Knicks/Celtics vs. The Heat/Mavs Games and Comparing

    .....both squads and how they are playing quality, fluidity and chemistry wise.

    Knicks and Celtics both looked like they were in mid-season form and both the Heat and Mavericks looks very choppy. Miami still is athleitc and aggressive but too inconsistent as a team. That is just their M.O. (same as last year).

    This works to the Knicks and Bulls advantage. I think the Knicks could be the best team in this conference or second best behind Chicago when it's all said and done this year. This is of course, without fatigue being a factor.

    You're coming to all these conclusions from the first game of the season? Hold your horses there, Charlie.

    This isn't the same Dallas team as last year. They have no inside presence and no fluidity right now. Losing Tyson Chandler does that to you. They look like the soft jump shooting Maverick team of 2006-2009.

    Heat look the same and are a little better because of their added players and health wise are better than last year. Their rookie PG looks like a great addition as he is a penetrator. Let's see the Heat do this to a team like the Clippers, Lakers, Celtics or Knicks then we will talk.

    Celtics looked absolutely horrible in the first half. NYK and Boston game had alot of bad play as well.

    Nah I think the Knicks played terrific in the first half and is more indicative of the Knicks team you will see for the majority of the season. I agree they had a lack luster and flat third quarter though.

    Celtics just turned it up a notch defensively and picked it up offensively as a team in the second half. Thank Doc Rivers and Brandon Bass for that.

    Wow, what a truly awful analysis. Of all the teams that played yesterday only two looked to be in mid-season form, Miami and OKC. Miami ran all over Dallas. The Knicks game was ugly and the defense after halftime was nonexistent.
