ROUND 2
Division 1
Matchup 1
#1 Knicks crush Heat on opening day after Sandy, Sheed hits first 3.
VERSUS
#6 Carmelo scores 50 on Heat
Analysis: With the emotions, the opening night atmosphere, and the Sheed moment, the #1 seed is the favorite here. But even though Miami sat their starts the night that Carmelo scored 50, the #6 seed has a chance to pull off an upset.
