NBA on TNT
Eastern Conference Showdown
8pm ET
LOS KNICKS @ AA 305 vs EL HEAT
The Heat come in off of an embarrassing loss to the now 2-13 Washington Wizards. King James notched another Triple-Double but look it was Game #16 of 82 and there will be another Bad Loss coming at some point that's the Life in the NBA. The Heat are getting Top-Level Production from PF/C Chris Bosh as he has emerged as the #2 Option for the Heat. There is nothing wrong with the Champs its just that they have to get back to what got them the Chip...Defense.
PLAYBOOK
The Knicks will have a Problem of 'Melo can't go Tonight and lest say he doesn't. The Knicks Game changes dramatically as now they will rely more on the System than 'Melo helping them out when the System breaks down. Look for JR Smith and Steve Novak to get more minutes along with Jason Kidd. They will also rely heavily on Ronnie Brewers as he will have King James or Wade County or both all night long. The Heat must get them in a Fast-Paced Game as he Knicks are on the 2nd Leg of the Back to Back. The Knicks Transition Defense along with Execution on the Offensive End will be Key.
The Heat's New Look will force the Knicks to play the Perimeter more and should open up the Lanes for Wade County and King James. Knicks must be aware of all those Heat Shooters...Sugar Ray, Shard, M&M Plain, Regular Mario, and Battier. The Heat Big Three are all capable of getting loose behind the Land of Plenty as well. This Game will be played under Winning Time Basketball and look for the Final Score to be in the 80s unless someone doesn't bring their A Game.
KNICKS giving up 91 ppg HEAT giving 99 ppg....it's only fitting we are seeing a Pat Riley-Like Knicks D.
