The Gift

The Knicks started the game fired up, playing good frustrating defense and had very good ball movement on offense which had them leading by as much as 16 points.

But, if you have followed this team this season you knew it wasn't going to last.

This team's rather low situational basketball intelligence and the need to showboat would be its demise and that's exactly what transpired.

The Knicks allowed Lebron James to cut to the basket for easy layups and dunks time after time.

J.R. Smith's telegraphed passes and ball handling laziness lead to turnovers which resulted in easy points coupled with coach Woodson's bone headed decision to keep Amare Stoudemire on the bench for much of the fourth quarter sealed the deal for today's loss against the Miami Heat.

The Heat were ready to concede the loss and focus on tomorrow's game against the Timberwolves but with all the sloppy ball handling and reckless defense from the start of the second half the Heat gladly accepted the gift the Knicks handed them.

Quitters Never Win

So Ronnie Brewer had to sacrifice his head for the sorry loss last night but it was another very hard head that was to blame.

Brewer hadn't lived up to the billing on defense and he couldn't hit an open shot. He sounds like the definition of the Knicks team as a whole leading up to the all-star break and beyond. Didn't I explain all this a month ago? Am I talking to myself over here?!?

Coach Woodson's hard head has caught up with him and he still refuses to sit Shumpert down, refuses to stop forcing the Amare with Carmelo experiment and is not cracking the whip when this team shows up without fire and intensity.

Jason Kidd's feelings need to be second to the well being of the starting line up but we know that when coach Woodson gets something in his fat head its damn near impossible to get it out.

Now there is talk about him possibly shaking up the lineup. Woodson needs to Taze this lineup inorder to get these dudes out of their comfort zones.

My team in Brooklyn is surging. I hope we get the Knicks in the first round.
