zOMG! Post your pre-game predictions here
Knicks keep it close with some hot shooting from Carmelo, J.R. Smith and Novak. Jeremy Lin goes for 23/9 on 45% shooting and 7 turnovers.
Heat lock it down defensively late in the 4th and win.

Either way it's good for a Bulls fan. Either the Knicks get smacked down and Linsanity hits a speed bump in the road, or the Heat lose and Bulls are #1 in the East again.
Go Knicks!

If we don't end up with a Heat vs. Bulls showdown in playoffs, it will be very disappointing.

That's already a foregone conclusion unless there are some horrible injuries between now and the post season. Who's gonna stop da Bulls? The Pacers? The Sixers? Certainly not the Knicks....
Sure the Knicks have a nice offense but no teams in the league are better at disrupting another teams offense than the Bulls and the Heat. Heat are gonna prove that tonight.

Should be on TNT at 7:00 PM Eastern.
You're lucky, you get to watch the awesome TNT pregame and halftime show with Charles Barkley. Best pre-game/halftime/postgame show in the business. I call it the Charles Barkley comedy hour.

It looks like the Knicks have never seen what defense looks like before. Lin is getting schooled tonight...

How about an e-kiss?   
Lin looks overwhelmed and unprepared. They're doubling him at the top of the key and he looks impotent so far.

Thing is you can't keep up that level of energy all game, seems it's already slowed down. Not sure if Lin will get back into his groove because of that.

Yeah but the Heat have already demonstrated that they're on another level. They can turn it on at will. The defense, the offense, the rebounding all favor the Heat by a large margin. The deck is stacked against the Knicks here. These guys can't even get their jumpshots off, that's how much the Heat D is bothering them.
Melo, J.R. and Amare gotta get it going here...It's one thing for Lin to be playing scared, he was in the D league a few weeks ago. But these other guys are all proven NBA vets.

I don't normally watch basketball, but I've bought into the hype. I'm in on this one, but screaming a Heat blowout.

Shane Battier is one of the premier defenders in the league. Can't just point at Lin, but rather there are lots of really skilled players.

I think you mean Battier USED to be a premier defender in this league. But Lin is getting pwned by Norris Cole, the rookie, too...this dude just cant hang onto the ball.

Battier is only 33 years old, he still is one of the better defenders in the league even if he doesn't get much attention.

Nah I disagree with you there. He's always had a reputation as a great defender but he's fallen off hard. I don't think he's even a factor these days against any decent match up.
But even Norris Cole and Mario Chalmers are punking Lin right now so Battier is gonna look good against him too. Lin doesn't look too Linsane right now...just looks like another scrub out there. A boy amongst men.

Well the Heat definitely prepared for him, and have been applying star-like pressure to him. It'd be foolish to think he still didn't have a learning curve to deal with, as he is essentially an NBA rookie. It's a different type of game that he is not used to, and his defenders are jumping onto all his openings. Some of the mistakes he's made can be done away with just by adjusting his playstyle (like not swinging the ball around so much). He'll also have to figure out how to drive into the lane when the defense is tighter like in the 1st half.

I think Derrick Rose might be earning some more respect nationwide after watching this game. Its amazing how he routinely splits the double team then drives past all 5 defenders and finishes at the rim. Lin can't even hold onto the ball...
Yep...Lin definitely has some more maturing to do. Welcome to the NBA son, you just met one of the top 2 defenses in the league.

What's wrong with MacGyver? I admit I haven't watched it since I was much younger but it is pretty ok.
