Twitter Reacts to the New York Knicks' Loss to the Miami Heat

With the Miami Heat riding a seven-game winning streak and the New York Knicks fully healthy and riding high on Linstant energy, last night's game in South Beach was highly anticipated. So much so that it was trending on Twitter the morning of the game. As you probably know by now, the Heat established their superiority with a 102-88 win, proving that the Knicks still have a ton of work to do over the All-Star weekend. Jeremy Lin had a terrible night, going 1-11 for eight points with eight turnovers, while LeBron James put on a clinic with 20 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 blocks, and 2 steals. This resulted in the usual obnoxious Twitter outbursts. See how the tweetrats reacted to the Heat's domination of the Knicks.

We're surprised this tweet didn't come from Jason Whitlock.

@ApexAcacia

There's not enough room in South Beach for more than three talents.

@I4Got2Pullout_

A little hasty don't you think? Well, you must be used to being quick if you forgot to pull out.

@Money_Mike216

People really love ignoring the second part of that Asian American label, don't they?

@PeytonsBiceps

You don't look like an idiot after having one bad game against a team with two of the best players in NBA history. And why wouldn't you want LeBron to look like an idiot?

Dolly's fortune for the day: "Karma will bite hardest when you least expect it." Lucky numbers: 1,7,17.

@TheKylo

Sorry, lady, you really think he'd go for you when he's got all of New York to choose from?

@AndrewMyones

Considering he went to Harvard, we think you mean his job as a biochemical engineer.

@HuaHsu

What is this, kindergarten? He loses and gets cupcakes? Stop eroding the value of winning, people.

@JasonWSJ

Who wants to bet 10 bucks The Glove is the next analyst added to the TNT set?

@Jan_TheGreat

In the words of Birdman, "Richer than the richest, we certified gettin' it. CM, YM, Cash Money business."

@Al_Patron

First off, why are you thinking about who wants to swallow LeBron? Secondly, WTF does that have to do with the game? The in-game commentary on Twitter never ceases to amazes us.

@ShangTongue

Nothing like dropping SAT words in the same post where you forget the apostrophe in "it's" and use "U" when you're not referring to the 'Canes. Nice job, Mr. "Hugh Jerection" a.k.a @ShangTongue. Pause.

@FoxSportsReiter

The only thing more played out than hyping up Lin is probably hating on LeBron. This dude managed to do both. Congrats?

@CuffstheLegend

Ah, c'mon. We think Fif's run was just a wee bit longer than Lin's. That being said, New Yorkers can be awfully fickle.

@AdamZagoria

Wait, is this actually a shot at Lin that isn't racist?!

@Kemiadetiba

He may be wrong, but we doubt it. *Barkley voice*

@ArashMarkazi

LeBron had that "I'm 'bout to rip off your limbs, throw them in a wood chipper, and mix it in with my oatmeal" look.

@BigBubba74

We don't think people compared him to Magic, just Jesus and Asian foods.

@Johnoho_5

The general reaction to Baron Davis has been overwhelmingly negative, and he's only played a total of 34 minutes. Sure, he's gone 1-12 from the field, but ending off an experiment with that small of a sample size is just poor execution. Cut him some slack, not his umbilical cord.
