The friggin’ Heat, man.
The Knicks played two games against Miami, and both games were absolute soul-crushers. We won’t be better than those bastards again as long as Pat Riley is alive, and unfortunately his pact with Satan stipulates he live to be 666 years old.
Tuesday’s clash with Miami was a viciously tense affair. Both teams traded 18-4 runs in the first half, while the second half saw very little separation throughout. The Knicks’ big first-half run featured some tremendous play from Derrick Rose, who scored 10 of his 14 points before halftime.
The first unit kept the Knicks ahead throughout most of the third quarter, but the bench couldn’t recapture their first-half magic to start the fourth.
