Nothing is a lock. And discredit the Knicks some more I love it

Im not discrediting anyone. Bulls and pacers both have shown they can compete in the playoffs.

Now I fully understand why Justin does what he does. To think Miami will be anything under 2 at worst is laughable. Kinda of a joke to think they won't finish top 2 most likely 1

They were supposedly a "lock" and heavy favorites against the mavs. But to say the knicks dont have a chance has to do more with the dislike he has for the team rather than rationalism.

Knicks are easily better than Boston this year JNoel. This is how I see it unfolding:

Regular Season
1. Knicks
2. Bulls
3. Heat (since they don't care about the regular season, after all, it "doesn't matter.")
4. Pacers
5. Nets
6. Hawks
7. Sixers
8. Bucks

Knicks beat Bucks in 5. Bulls beat Sixers in 5. Heat sweep the Hawks. Pacers take the Nets in 6. Knicks-Pacers will go either way. Bulls-Heat can also go either way. I think we will have a Knicks-Bulls ECF though, with the Bulls coming out on top. This is assuming all teams are healthy.

Celtics always turn it up playoff time, Rondo or no Rondo. Pacers are so underrated - I see them as a lock for the ECF.

Melo has played lights out so far this season, but it will only go so far. As soon as he gets injured/struggles, Knicks have no other scoring options besides Smith/Felton which have proven they can't carry the load. It's only a matter of time.

Yeah I guess amare hasn't shown anything at all. When you're right you're right.

Oh because last year means something for this year mmhh k. Must be the same exact knick team 1st round exit for sure

I can see miami finishing the 2 seed, i think 1 is more likely with how weak the east is the weekend. But anything below 2 and people just trolling.

Heat are a lock for the ECF, and heavy favorites to make the finals. Only the bulls and maybe the pacers have something so say about that.

oh def. The same posters come out anytime the Heat don't play well or just get beat. ONE game in the regular season..Crazy


There's their regular season championships that THOSE posters love

Amare is done. He won't withstand the grind of the regular season, he's played well thus far due to recently coming back. It's only a matter of time.

They have shown they can compete, but even though the knicks haven't it is reasonable to think they will this year. They have improved in a lot of areas. The only issue is if they could stay healthy. They definitely have the pedigree this year.

yeah the reduced mins he is playing wont help at all. Only a matter of time before your posting gets better.

I think Miami might go to 2 but that's as far as they will go down. I agree with you here I see Miami as the 1 seed.

I would like to see them get out of the first round this year, i think that would be a good goal for them.

Thats why he's coming off the bench on limited minutes. But you come off like you're hoping he will get hurt again, real pathetic man.

You mad? Amar'e has glass knees and it takes 1 play for a blowout. He's probably not even going to last till the playoffs.
