It will be very tough in Indiana but you have to have hope. Memphis Spurs will be interesting. Grizzlies looking good

Fell asleep at 3rd quarter as had to be up early. If they play fired up on Saturday we can win this. Again silly mistakes nearly got them back into it. Melo's handle of the ball is terrible, he loses the dribble so many times. I know they do ball handling in training so surely he needs more work on it

Knicks are looking fired up in the first quarter and so they should be.

Shumpert may be out tonight, maybe getting rid of brewer wasn't the best idea

NBA app seems to have updated and they play on Tuesday as well. Tempted to stay up tonight for bulls v heat.

All games are 1-1. Why such a big gap between the knicks/pacers games. Play on Saturday and then again on Thursday?? Suely thats not fair for the rest of the teams as the others don't have that much of a rest. Heat had that rest but they earned it by winning in 4

1-1 so far in the games from last night. Didn't see any of the matches but looked like the pacers/knicks game went close until the end. All to play for

Not sure what has gone on with Novak, Woodson seems to lose favour in the bench players that played well in the run up to the play offs. Copeland is getting very few minutes and i think he' a good option to keep a scorer on when melo is off. Felton has been great but woodson seems to make strange decisions, but he knows far more than me so i have faith in him. Melo does moan a little but i think its a show of guilt from the stupid idea of taking everybody on and it failing. Saying that the calls were pretty bad on Sunday, both ways. I usually watch the games on XBMC, fantastic little program as all games are available and i link my laptop up to the tv. Getting interesting with Bulls beating heat. Without Deng and Rose!!!!! I think there bigs are too strong for the heats poor big men. Will rose make his debut in this series???

How frustrating...... Melo insists on taking 30 shots a game and tries to force everything. Smith is the same. Bugging me how they are really making silly little mistakes with stupid fouls and throwing the ball away. Kidd needs to step up a little being the most experienced layer at this time of the season. Hopefully Woodson shakes it out of them..... Missed the thunder grizz game, but caught the last minute and thought it had overtime written all over it. Going to be a good series that. I should go bed as going for a bike ride at 6.30, might dose up on black coffee and leave when it gets light. Not best prep for a ride but oh well

Its hotting up. Looking forward to the games tonight.

Is CHris Paul a free agent? Howard and Paul up for grabs would be interesting.

I stayed up to watch the Knicks/Celtics only to fall asleep as the Knicks went 26 points up feeling rather happy. I then woke up as the TV was still on and was shocked at what i saw.... Up by 6 with little time remaining. Even though they won they need to sort it out as other teams won't be so kind. Your right about Melo's annoying smile. I'm still not convinced by him, he is a fantastic scorer but does some very silly things like give the ball away or silly little fouls that just get me angry. Good to see Felton playing well, surely he must of been a candidate for most improved player after his shambles at Portland. Shows that with the right fit a player can flourish. Heat must think its end of the season with the wait they are having to play the next team!!! Good thing that players are rested but bad that they are not playing competitive ball. Got a friend who used to be a warriors season ticket holder, we are pushing for a knicks/warriors final....... Now wheres my William hill link gone

Smith and Melo can win games but easily throw games away,,,, And why was Kidd marking Pierce most of the game when Shumpert is the best defensive player???? He did great in the 4th against pierce... Am i the only one who can't stand Paul Pierce, he does that annoying nose in the air look when he scores and tries to act the hard man...

Missed the 3rd quarter for knicks/celtics game 3!!!! Sat back down just as Felton shot that monster 3. Knicks will win now as Boston seem to struggle in the 2nd half, but they can't let teams go 20 points up each game!!!!! But if they win by doing that then so be it. Looks like its going to be a late night for me tonight.

Missed the bulls game tonight but triple OT it must of been pretty good viewing. Hawks smashing the pacers is good for the knicks. Still think boston will win one of the games, pierce will have a stormer

Knicks were terrible first half and fantastic second half. Helped with KG in foul trouble and Pierce being the only other threat. Be nice to get a 4-0 win. Is it true that Melo has never been on a winning playoff series??

Bulls took game 2 and the clippers came close. Looks like the playoffs are heating up

No real shocks at the moment, Sundays games were more blowouts than saturday games (besides nets). Knicks didn't look too good and i thought they were going to lose. I found melo and smith to try too hard to win the game themselves but luckily came good at the end. Bulls looked awful Unfortunately i didn't have the chance to see the other games.

Despite all the banter and the disagreements on here i wish all your teams the best of luck........ Except for when they are playing the knicks. Enjoy the games and i look forward to some more comments on here

Play offs are here!!!!!! Predictions please? From a knicks point of view i think we can get to the conference finals and take the Heat to 7 games but lose in 7. Whoever beats the heat then will win the championhip. Watch the lakers as well, Howard and Nash to really click in the playoffs. Lets hope its a good one

Shame about Bryant, don't want to see any player injured. I had the same injury a few years back and its a bugger to get over. Even now i have problems with it and suffer badly when it hasn't been stretched correctly. I think the saving 80m would be the bet, plenty of room to build a team around Howard, assess how Kobe recovers and sign him as per FIF's update. Still think this is going to be a good playoff series.Lets hope it injury free.

Not quite, be hard to match that run for any team I believe the the bulls are the knicks biggest worry in the early rounds, Just seem to be the bogey team. What are your predictions for the playoffs? Will the lakers make it? What are the surprises for the play offs or are te heat to hard to beat?

How has Fields played this season with the Raptors? Unfortunately i'm not that up to date with college ball this year, any outstanding players in the draft?

It is dangerous to put melo through these minutes to chase a scoring title that wouldn't help the team if he wins it. But ts a bonus to have. I'll be honest a i've only been a knicks fan for 10 years, that was after a trip to msg. But i have supported where i can through the bad years of recently. It isn't bullsh1t from me as a fan to be happy with progression, i don't think they are good enough to win it this year but happy to take the rough with the smooth. Never said that i was looking for the celtics in the playoffs, just think we can beat them, you read too much into my posts. But like i said your very much like a man utd fan with your posts. But hey, nothing wrong with that, its just very funny. Yes, melo is just a scorer, but that what he does best. Novak is a shooter, tc is a defensive player etc etc. I went to an NBA clinic recently and the pistons assistant coach said the same thing, play to your strengths, if your good at it then build on it. Not every player has to be an all rounder to be great. Just be good at what you do best. So your points are your opinion but thats it, nothing else. I do enjoy the banter though so thanks. Too late for me tonight, struggling with a groin strain in training tonight, so best get to bed. Hope to hear from you soon

I'm sure FIF will find an issue with it. I don't think any NBA team can match the atmosphere at MSG. My dream to play on that court
