Miami is going to make a statement tonight.
as much as I love the Knicks they are just not ready to compete with Miami yet. with all the new players inserted into the line up they are still learning how to gel together and play together..this is like pre season..first few games of the season for this new line up and bench. meanwhile Lebron and D Wade have a connection going on like no other. Would love for the Knicks to make a this game..and the only way they can is to not get suckered into the run and gun game and run with Miami...but thats going to be tough to do with Lin running the point.
Knicks have to sloooooooow this game down as much as possible make it a boring half court slug fest and run the shot clock down every possession to limit Miamis touches. I just don't see it happening though, Miami will be able to control the pace and run the floor and get out in transition.
