Knicks vs Heat Kneejerk Reaction

So last night the newly revamped New York Knicks played the Miami Heat in Miami. This game was a must-watch, especially for anyone who pays attention to the NBA and the Eastern Conference. The Knicks had fallen to just a few games ahead of Philly, and the Heat are playing better every day. And so the two teams who made the biggest moves this year met.



As expected the Heat game out gunning. The Heat put up 34 in the first quarter to the Knicks 23, and the announcers were sucking Lebron and companies' dicks. Team defense this and that blah blah blah. In the second quarter the Knicks came out firing, Chauncey Billups showed that he isn't just a secondary line on a trade, he drops threes with ease. The Knicks went on a 17-0 run to end the first half. They held the Heat to 17 for the entire second quarter. So much for licking Lebron's balls. The Knicks never looked back, winning in a final of 91-86. Full box score here.

Now the real question in this game isn't about Miami. We know they'll hold their own in the playoffs. My question is, will the Knicks be able to? They shot themselves back into this game from beyond the 3 point line. With Billups, Fields, and Eddy House, they are beasts from three for sure. But in a 7-game series how far can you go trying to shoot your way back into games? I guess we will find out soon enough.
