Losing Rose hurts but they should still make the conference finals. They actually are a little better offensively in terms of efficiency without Rose, which makes sense because he dominates the ball so much and frankly is way too selfish with shot selection. Still I agree with blaming this on the compressed schedule. I wonder who else might get hurt on the way to the Finals.

Also the Miami game yesterday was so brutally officiated. Not why New York lost, but at one point the FT advantage was something like 33-7 Miami. And LeBron had a few awesome flops yesterday that would make Kesler proud. The "flagrant" on Chandler was embarassing.
