Knicks Face Heat

After a decade of no big games at the Garden, the Knicks have their second big game of the week there tonight. The Heat come to town, featuring, Wade, Bosh and the man who not only spurned the Knicks, but spurned this blog as well. Obviously, it remains a shame that he did not come to New York, but you have to respect the way the Knicks have gotten after it, anyway. Amar'e has elevated his game to an elite level, and surprisingly, so has Raymond Felton. Felton has been great and has alleviated the pressure on the front office to use trade chips and cap space to go get Chris Paul. They can win with Felton. They do need a back-up PG; however, but they should only be looking in the D-league or Europe to find one. They don't need to use use their chips or space on bench players. Likewise, though Camby would be a nice fit, they should be looking for a defense-first big in the Rambis/Iavaronni mold, and that shouldn't cost much. They Knicks are really improving, and it will be interesting to see if they go get Carmello or stand pat till July. Go Knicks!
