Nba Playoffs Rd 1: [2] Miami Heat Vs. [7] New York Knicks

That block by LeBron at the end of the game on Carmelo was SICK and should not have been called a foul. Can we just skip all this window dressing and get straight to a Heat/Lakers final? Thanks.

This is definately some boring 1st round matchups.

Wouldn't give it to the Lakers yet either. Spurs and Thunder looking mighty good about now.

Agreed, it definitely looks more wide-open in the West than the East. Miami/LA is the dream matchup for me, though. Hopefully we'll get it.

Oh I so hope Linsanity returns next game and this series gets interesting.

New York shows some pride and wins a game and avoids the sweep. Congrats New York. But you're going down in South Beach in Game 5.

It's already old news, but I'm not a fan of the call to give it to Wade in an iso there at the end. James had the hot hand and all they needed was a 2. I really think he was ready to put the final dagger in the Knicks. If somehow, someway, NY is able to force a game 6 this is going to get really interesting--especially with Linsanity possibly back in the picture. Still, I think Miami takes care of business on Tuesday.

New York Knicks guard Baron Davis received bad news regarding his injured knee as an MRI revealed that he has a partial tear of the patella tendon and complete tear of the ACL and MCL, the New York Post reported Monday.

He will be out 12 months, which means he will miss all of next season as well as the rest of this season. In fact, his career is probably over.

Davis is expected to have surgery next week. After sustaining the injury in Sunday's Game 4 of the series against the Miami Heat, Davis had talked about trying to return next season. But that seems unlikely now.

Davis was sidelined with a herniated disk until February this season, and then took over as the Knicks starting point guard after Jeremy Lin went down with a knee injury.

Davis, who turned 33 last month, is in his 13th NBA season. He averaged just 6.1 points in 29 games this season.

Yeah, we all knew Baron was done. What news of Linsanity?

[Kramerica]

What's with all thes ACLs? Damn.

Baron is my favorite pg, period. Hate to see him go out like this, but that boy is done. Stick a fork in him. One of the most explosive pgs to play the game

[Kramerica]

Agreed, Aggie. Very exciting player for us to watch, especially when he was local.

idk, there are a ton of guys that are more explosive. not saying he wasn't explosive, but that wouldn't be the word i would use to describe him i guess. he was just flat out talented.

[King Taharqa]

Heat finish off Knicks

[Kakarot]

Even with Carmelo and Amare, New York will always be a 1st round playoff exit type team. I think they should try and go after Steve Nash, someone who could get all those pieces they have up there involved.
