...and they still won't be good enough to beat Miami. The only team that has a chance is Chicago(with a healthy Rose). The truth is Stoudemire(who's shot) and Anthony aren't in the same league with the Heat's big guns.

Knicks fans still get the credit for creativity.

ESPN Australia are airing promos for Game 5 of the series, scheduled for Thursday morning Aussie time. Seems like wishful thinking right now, I'd say they'll have to pick up a different game.

They also ran a commercial for game three of the Utah-San Antonio series 'live tomorrow' during game three of the Utah-San Antonio series. And the Lakers-Nuggets game didn't show up when I searched for 'NBA' a couple days ago. I only found out about it when I went to watch The Announcement, which I'd recorded a couple of days earlier, and the recording started with a commercial for it. Flicked over in time to catch the second half, then went back to The Announcement only for it to turn out to actually be King's Ransom.

Not too impressed with their programming department at the moment, I must say.

Surprised that not many bought League Pass this season. Was avail at $99 at the beginning of the season and thought a lot of people would buy it if it was priced around $100. Me? I been streaming it. Lolz...

Mine was like $200 and I still think it's a bargain for what we get. Probably a lot of people expected it to be around $60 since it was a short season, i wasn't so they didn't get it (Jeff Van Gundy strategy).

Anyway I feel like another sweep is coming up. The knicks are nowhere near good enough.

As if the Knicks didn't have enough injuries. Baron may have torn his ACL as well.

I don't think it was choking. Actually Heat's clutch plays kept the game closer than what it was supposed to be. The Knicks almost let this game slip away. Huge credits to Melo and cos. They showed more heart today. Great plays here and there and that was enough for the Knicks to win. Melo particularly was amazing.

Damn you, Landry Fields :(


Also, I, and I'm sure all of the Heat fans wish Baron Davis to have a good recovery. That's a horrible injury for any athlete to experience. Get well!

It could certainly be better, though I do like that they've chosen a different series for each game they've aired so far. Variety tends not to be their strong suit, so I give them a little credit for that.

Looks like they'll be showing Game 5 after all. Congrats to the Knicks for breaking their losing streak; an upset may be out of the question, but they salvaged some pride and took a win away from a team that could very well win it all.

Variety is no good if you've no idea when the games are on. Advertising one program and showing another isn't on, either.

I do hate it when stupid decisions work out for no good reason.

Same here Sauru. It was odd to see him missing such crucial free throws. He had a great game though. And when Bron made a basket and got fouled, I thought we were gonna win. Seemed like the momentum shifted. Great game. The Knicks brought everything they could and the Heat were still hanging in there.

Knicks down by 11 at the half....

Now it's 17 in the fourth. Hey, even healthy, they were dead meat against Miami.

....and I'm getting fed up with Landry Fields.

In the second half the Knicks just gave up. It seemed as if nobody played with a sense of urgency except for Carmelo.

Davis' injury truly is sickening, right up there with Shaun Livingston.

I mostly just check the online guide these days so I haven't missed a game yet, but I absolutely agree.

Knicks looked alright early on but the better team prevailed. No surprises there.

I had fun watching the Knicks this season. From star studded roster to depleted, they always were interesting team to watch. They should be even more fun to watch next season if stays healthy. Linsanity, Melo, Chandler, Amare, a lot of stories there. Entertainment at best.
