Excellent article. Iman’s injury will in all likelihood decrease the Knicks chances of winning even one game in this series, you are correct. Every team has their “last breath” that always seems to make it’s loudest sound during playoff time, and that time will come for the Knicks fairly soon.
P.S. I think trying to rush Lin back from his rehab can have negative results, especially if (as a fan) you want him to resign with the Knicks or to play well next season. Rushing a player back from any sort of surgical procedure has proven time and time again that it increases the risk of re-injury. With all of that being said, the Knicks have so much heart, competitive edge, and basketball smarts that they could use to beat the HEAT. We’ll find out if that can help them win tonight.

Nice work. Seems quite typical of this season that as we enter the playoffs, our (arguably) best player gets injured, our hottest player goes cold, our best wing defender tears his ACL, and our only semi-reliable PG re-injures his back.

But how many times have we counted this team out and they show some grit? A win tomorrow changes the entire series. And the Knicks have consistently shown more fight at MSG, steal one of the next two and it gives Lin a chance to return by Game 5, if he’s not already back by game 4.
