This is the real world of basketball. The Miami Heat gave the Knicks a Lin spin, with Norris Cole # 30 and Jeremy Lin # 17 running neck and neck with high energy and aggression, not to mention the complete enjoyment they gave their fans. You needed a rubber neck to keep up with the fast pace. You couldn’t blink or you missed a tear down the rim slam. ”Reject,” did you see that? Dewayne Wade # 3, Udonis Haslem # 40 and Joel Anthony # 50 are sending that ball all the way back to New York. Chris Bosh # 1 is jumping all over the paint, can’t keep up but he brings Miami back to a tie every time the Knicks try to advance. Whooa, Mario Chalmers # 15 and Norris Cole, you some bad brothers, to steal from Lin. Now, Norris is picking up Wade and LeBron’s habits, hanging from the rim, That’s cool. “No he didn’t,” did you see D. Wade, advancing his street smarts, stealing and throwing down. That steal and race to the other end made D. Wade king of the jungle. But then LeBron had his own rim show, letting it all hang out. Then that reject by Wade, shut your mouth. Haslem was on that rebound when he flew to the rim to clean up (38-37). Shane Battier was keeping up with Carmello Anthony hitting 3′s. After the second quarter, Bosh started consistently shooting their lights out; evenwith tight defense he shot over his defenders (62-70). LeBron hits on a spin as Q3 comes to an end. (66-80). Battier aims for 3 from the corner and then runs to the rim; with Haslem helps they clean up (73-84).
