Sorry there was no preview. It was my turn and I am very sick. I didn't get a chance. Post all comments about the game here.
Knicks up 8 at the half. NY went up early, and the Celts haven't been able to catch up. The Celtics defense was terrible the entire first quarter, but it improved a little bit in the 2nd. Pierce's minutes have been limited due to early foul trouble, expect him to be more of a factor in the 2nd half. Is there anywhere that Crawford won't shoot from? He's been on fire, but he's definitely got some questionable shot selection. The Knicks haven't really been executing that well, but luckily due to some hot shooting they have maintained a lead and put a stop to a few Celtic runs. I think this one is too close to call right now.
Horrible 4th quarter. I'm disgusted, really. I have to say though, Boston really worked hard for this win. It was a Boston win, not a Knicks loss. btw- Al Jefferson was outstanding. Let me just say that.
Horrible game. How many times were Celtics open in the 4th. It was just 3 after 3 for them. Tim Thomas had a good game. But, again I forgot who said this but, anytime Tim Thomas has a good game we lose. Any way. There needs to be a change. Whether it's a trade, or a change in lineup or whatever. That lineup has proved to be ineffective. Why wasn't JYD really playing. When he was just inserted in the game already 2 steals. Norris was also decent off the bench. Lenny Wilkens always seems to do the ineffective things or the dumb things. Also the Knicks still weren't playing. We quickly gave up our lead and lost it in the 4th. Then we finally decided to play with 1:30 left. Where were you guys during the rest of the game? The Knicks need to change. We need defense. Celtics with 114 points. Blount with a season high 22 mostly on uncontested shots and tip ins. All this is going to mean is I will play well in school but, I still would rather a win. I am one of very few Knick fans in my school. This girl in my school was wearing a Mavericks jersey in my school! Man I will have to face the music when they are going to talk about my Knicks. Man losing is wack. Especially avoidable ones!
I was mad at the end of the half when the Knicks were up 8. I knew I was going to see something like this. Boston is half a game back behind us now. Knicks will face the 'Cats next. I can see the Knicks finding a way to lose this one like the last time they faced the 'Cats.
I was going to post this up in the Cetics forum but, it seems you guys don't have a preview thread. You guys out played us and you deserved the victory Good Game you guys
