Saw the Heat game in Miami Friday night. Close to the floor so everything seemed lightning fast. The Heat's young talent (Nunn, Robinson, Jones Jr., Adebayo, et al) is amazing. I mean, what the fuck? That offense moves beautifully. There couldn't be a stronger contrast to the Knicks who looked bloody awful, and whose offensive sequences were both boring and inept. They managed to lose the game within 5 minutes.
Some brief glimmers of pleasure watching Robinson, and Portis happened to be hot in the 2nd half, but everything else was embarrassing. Just uncompetitive. And at the risk of beating a dead horse, Frank clearly looked like the weakest of the weak. Just one cringe-worthy play after another. Payton is no all star, but at least he runs like an NBA guard with good vision and an aggressive motor. Can we at least agree that Frank seems to be regressing instead of moving forward? In retrospect, playing a year in Westchester might really have helped the guy. Who know? But if he's your starting guard, something is terribly wrong.
For such a bad team, at least the Knicks still seem to have decent morale with the guys on the bench genuinely pulling for one another. It will be interesting to see how long that endures if they keep losing like this.
