The worst and the best first round match up in this years playoffs for the New York Knicks was the Miami Heat. The worst because no one really expected them to win the series. The best for the very same reason.
The Knicks have a great basketball legacy and despite being the Mecca of basketball and all that the professional basketball teams just have not lived up to the expectation.
The Knicks have a great team. Any team which has Amare, Carmelo leading them with a great supporting cast like Chandler, Fields, JR Smith, Jefferies etc. (sorry...not jumping on the Lin bandwagon). It just boggles me that such great talent cannot be a threat night in and night out. I guess it boils down to heart. None of them seem to have the heart to win...to dig deep down and deliver when it counts...desire is what separates the greats from the so called superstars...
Its going to be a long off season for the Knicks. I hope they emerge from it with an identity, stronger and with desire.
