The best two teams in the East (!) play tonight in South Beach: 13-4 New York vs. 12-4 Miami.

The Knicks are coming off a buzzer-beating win in Charlotte; the Heat have had time to ponder a loss to 1-win Washington.

Melo’s been chasing LeBron since high school – could this finally be the year Carmelo catches the best player in the NBA?

I’m getting ahead of myself. Hell, Melo may not play tonight due to a finger injury (which required stitches).

Tough not to like the rested Heat tonight. They’re favored by seven. Game’s on TNT.
