The Knicks sounded hopeful about Jeremy Lin's return -- and that was before Monday night's debacle.
The New York Knicks lost a game, then might have lost their center right after. Dwyane Wade scored 25 points, Chris Bosh added 21 and the Miami Heat beat New York 104-94 on Monday night, sending the Knicks to an NBA-record-tying 12th straight postseason loss.
Right now, the Knicks are still in the series. It was small mistakes that led to the avalanche Saturday, not some fatal flaw. Correct those things and this series can still go a long way.
As the Heat vaporized New York, you learned a few things. Miami has two players better than Carmelo Anthony. Miami wants it more. And the Knicks are soft. Yes, soft.
When Jeremy Lin went down with a knee injury, Iman Shumpert stepped up for the Knicks. Now the injured Lin could be called on to step up -- again -- and spark New York.

The Knicks were dealt a blow on the scoreboard and to their roster as Iman Shumpert was carried off the court. The Knicks were defeated by the Heat 100-67 in Game 1.
The Bulls are hard to figure. At times, they seemed to play better without Derrick Rose. I wonder how easily he will slide back into that team, considering how he dominates everything the Bulls do on offense.

This time the Knicks are searching for their first postseason win in nearly 11 years, and the Heat are out to prove a point after last year's NBA Finals loss.
J.R. Smith scored 22 points for the Knicks, who pulled away in the second half to clinch the Eastern Conference's No. 7 seed and a first-round playoff matchup against No. 2 Miami beginning Saturday.

The Miami Heat are a championship caliber team. On February 23rd, the Knicks were not. The Heat are flat out better, and they showed it on Thursday night.
