We were out played and out hustled tonight.The strangest part of this game was Jimmy Butler did NOT look like playoff Jimmy tonight.We played like it was a regular season game no great intensity not in it to win it.The Lakers Warriors did the same.One can only wonder if it was an NBA order.lets go kill them at home.
may6 1 for 5 may 8 1for 7 tonight 5 for 10 may 2 3 for 8 apr 30 0 for 5 come on 2qbn hes not an elite shooter.strus is a better shooter better player not close sir
I'm enjoying the Heat shooting like crap and refs calling more fouls against them and it still takes the Knicks all they can give to try and squeak this out.
I missed most of the game but I notice a massive FT disparity and that was before the hack a Mitchell. Knicks complaining about refs yesterday paid off
hes made some shots tonight good to see want the heat to win but he suks overall.he usually doesnt shoot good and his d makes him unplayable.ty n dipo down guess he has to play

fts Heat 16/19 Knicks 29/40 and we were in the game till the end. we gave them a scare lol. see you in south beach next
what airport u flying into ill pick u up
LAX lol
u coming to see lebron or jimmy
or maybe the elite shooter dunc
NY Knicks give yourselves a pat in the back. you did more than the Bucks. see you next game.
Let's Go Heat!!!
they wish they had pat back lol
go lebron cant stand mouth piece curry and dirty player dramond
when dunc takes more shots than jim thats a problem
Not rally. A lot of that was down 10. Sorry to break it to you but Duncan is still an all time 3 point shot maker
32.8% 3s this year
Shooting 43% in the playoffs. you know, when it matters
may6 1 for 5 may 8 1for 7 tonight 5 for 10 may 2 3 for 8 apr 30 0 for 5 come on 2qbn hes not an elite shooter.strus is a better shooter better player not close sir
1st year yes last couple no
+13 free throws (if you remove Mitchell’s FT’s) is a milestone against a Butler led team.
We four out rebounded badly mainly due to poor shooting on our part
bad night for so fla sports although 2qbns marlins won
Les go
sanchez hitting now
Right? Finally!
hes got serious pop think hes turned the corner
im little nervous now gotta get game 6
No nerves unless they lose game 6. Having a game at home to wrap it up is exactly where you want to be. Embrace it
Kept the right mindset, kept shooting didn't give up. We'll get em next game
these are 2 even teams knicks have some confidence dam
congrats NY! you won 2 games!
I wished Butler would work the refs a lot more in a game like this. But I love his play on mentality
Good comeback, not enough
jon starks cost knicks a ring sit the f down
now they got the rebs...so they live to fight another day
Good game by the Knicks. They played like they needed and the Heat didn't do enough to deserve to close it out on the road.

Grimes on one leg stealing that ball will not sit well with Jimmy. That was not a good play for him
Got a lot of body on that ‘steal’.
clean
Nah, he shoved Butler before he touched the ball. Fine they didn’t call it,, but it wasn’t clean
got ball first i believe have to see it again
lots of time...lets gooooo!
grimes steal what a play game changer
wheres turtle dam gabe too fn small dam it
19/7/9, yeah, he took the night off
quiet night
jj said it himself
4 steals, 2 blocks
Slacker
2.
Down to 3
its a bird its a plane no its jimmy butler
dunc having a lonnie walkerish game,
put turtle in
nba wants game 6 bam foul bs call
winning time! go Heat!!!
jim saving himself for game 6 i guess
you havent learned anything do you? Heat down 16 and 14 vs Milw in 4th u gave up. they won those games. im just gonna laugh it out lmao
jimmy awful quiet tonight
zach suggested that 4 games ago
Huge respect for Heat’s grit tonight!
Spo trying everything
dunc 2 misses ha ha rc 2qbn dam if he was so good game tied
man u happy dunc fails?!
Yeah he's a "fan"
And perfect timing!
Main reason we’re even close. Without him, we’re down a dozen.
#Facts
Dum dums can't admint that
Good job Spo!
Every possession. Foul him.
panthers lost
Think I'd leave Lowry in the game. If he foulf out he fouls out, but he's playing well
yes lowry needs to play
Totally agree
Spo shoulda challenged either the block or that call.
That Dunc shot was in and out. Would have been 1
sorry hfl...that tagalog statement i wrote was really "Spo play whoever you want...including Dunc." lol Lets Go Heat!!
hes made some shots tonight good to see want the heat to win but he suks overall.he usually doesnt shoot good and his d makes him unplayable.ty n dipo down guess he has to play
Duncan's track record of being an elite shooter is longer than him being in a funk. He's starting to remember that fact these playoffs
elite shooter what r u smoking ck stats out sarcastic one
What a bail out call
