The New York Knicks lit the nylon on fire en route to a 132-125 win over the Miami Heat Sunday evening. No, it wasn’t literally on fire. But metaphorically, it was burnt to a crisp after the final whistle blew, behind Jalen Brunson’s masterful 47-point, eight-assist performance. Collectively, the Knicks shot 55.3 percent from the […]

The Knicks face the Heat for the fourth time this season, with Miami holding a 2–1 series lead. New York has shown some fatigue since its NBA Cup run, while Miami has cooled off after a fast start and has dropped seven of its last ten. The Heat arrive short-handed again and continue to lean […]

Jordi had said it best after Brooklyn’s 106-95 loss to the Miami Heat. “Little mistakes that you can correct, and shots going in or not — I’m happy with the looks that we had that didn’t go in. So sometimes, a little bit of that is the difference, right?” Thank you for the quote Collin. […]

It's always great to beat the Heat!!! Heat fans are always wanting to trade for a star-Durant, Ant, Giannis all the while trashing their own players. They are liking Ware and Jakucionis today but will likely turn on them the first time they struggle. The comments (and gif) about Herro's toe are funny. Still with the racist remarks and Jaylen's hairline. It always amazes me when fans hate Derrick White. He's such a good guy and plays the right way. ...
