This Melo/Amar'e Sunday Conversation looks worse than pulling teeth. I love how the union of a potential #7 seed is worth having a conversation about. Of course, it is New York and blah blah blah. I hope the Heat lose, but I won't lose any sleep over the Knicks moving closer to .500.

As for the other games, It looks like Kendrick Perkins is out for 2 to 3 weeks so the Thunder are going to have to get by without the interior help they were looking for. Jeff Green is nothing special, but he certainly would have helped against Miami. I get the feeling that this will be a high scoring affair full of transition basketball since that seems to be the specialty of both teams.

In other action, Atlanta goes to Portland who seem pretty energetic with Roy's return, Memphis visits San Antonio, Charlotte visits Orlando and the Sixers have their best shot to move into a tie with New York as they visit Cleveland.
