Post Game thoughts: Miami Heat at New York Knicks 1/27/2010

What a game! After that 6 game skid against some of the worst teams in the NBA, the Knicks have now won 2 in a row including a great win over the "Almighty" Miami Heat. To be honest it, Chris Bosh not playing helped a lot since he has torched the Knicks this season. Great defense from Gallinari and Shawne Williams on LeBron James, who shot a dismal 7-24. Props to Dwayne Wade for that scoring frenzy he did in the 3rd quarter, although his missed free throws might have been the difference for this game. Gallo showed up big in the 4th quarter, and Fields continues to impress me with his smart play, timely shots, and of course his rebounding.

Honestly, this game shouldn't have been as close as it was. The Knicks missed a lot of easy buckets early on and out hustled,outworked, and overall outplayed the Miami Heat. This game shows how weak our bench can really be at times, aside from Turiaf who was recently demoted for Chandler. While Toney Douglas and Shawne Williams definantly have their moments, when they are at the court at the same time the offense is clearly stagnant and bad shots keep going up.

But this was a win against one of the best teams in the NBA. STAT said it best, no one is afraid of the Miami Heat.
