2012 NBA Playoffs Knicks @ Heat Game 2 (4th Q Only)

Final Score: Heat win 104-94 (and it wasn't quite that close)

I may not watch another minute of this series. I don't think the Knicks will win a game, not even the game 4 "Pride" game with the Heat up 3-0. Previous playoff campaigns exposed the serious flaws in Carmelo and Amar'e's respective games. The flaws are still there, the biggest of which being their low basketball IQs. A winning team can't have two guys that make as many bad offensive and defensive decisions as they both make. Throw in Baron Davis' occasional chucking and how does this bunch of guys ever beat anybody any good in the playoffs 4 out of 7 times?

Now that I got that off my chest, here is what little I have to say about this game's final quarter.

The Knicks' offense continued to be predictable and sloppy. The Heat were all over them. Carmelo mostly stunk. The Knicks entered the quarter down nine. They never really got any closer than that. Wide open threes made by Heat role-players Battier and Chalmers put the breaks on a Knicks fourth quarter push.
