The Heat will travel to Madison Square Garden to play the Knicks on Thursday night, but Amar'e Stoudemire isn't concerned.

"Nobody's afraid of the Miami Heat," Stoudemire said.

New York is 0-2 against Miami this season, but they'll be facing the Heat without Chris Bosh because of a high-ankle sprain this time around.

"Now, the focus really becomes [Dwyane] Wade and James even more," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said.

Stoudemire is confident that New York can beat Miami in their third attempt.

"We had a chance to win both games. So we feel like we're still improving," Stoudemire said. "We still have something to prove. We're trying to get better as a team and it starts tomorrow night."
