Unreal. These are two tough losses. It does not get much worse.
Execution at the end of the game has cost them both times. This time, Anthony makes the right play but Jefferies is the recipient. Not good.
The refereeing was once again heavily favored towards Boston in the 2nd half.
I stand by Knicks in 6 with the caveat that Stat and Billups need to play.
For what it's worth, Bill Walker didn't make a shot this game.
And what's up with Fields - he's completely neutralized...

dude, the play wasn't to get the ball to jeffries. He was the open man, on purpose. Its how he scored and took the lead, its why he got the ball again. Probably should have went with shawn williams or sheldon in that last sequence. someone with some offense.
I do agree with you MDA's subbing has been bad.
Man I can't do this any more, I'll stop watching. We truly are cursed.
The silver lining is that this team is laying the groundwork to be a consistent top 3 or 4 team in the East for the next few years.
But still, this one stings.

celtics coaches > knicks coaches

Turiaf would've even been better if you wanted defense because he can handle the ball and pass it on offense
Carmelo's unbelievable. We've got our superstar of the present and the future. That's definitely apparent.
carmelo played like 2 stars tonight. most def a top 5 player in this league. toney let rondo do what ever he wanted to dude just sucks at man to man defense. jefferies trying to make the extra pass with seconds left and under the rim. he forgot he was 6-11
we might get swept.
DAMN IT!!!!!!!! THE CELTICS HAVE GAME 1 GIFT WRAPPPED AND WE LOSE BY 3 WITH NO STAT. IF WE HAVE STAT TONIGHT WE WIN.
I NEVER EVER WANT TO HEAR SHIT ABOUT THE TRADE AGAIN! 42 POINTS 17 REBOUNDS AND 6 ASSISTS!
BTW - WE CAN WIN A SERIES DOWN 2-0......IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE AND CAN HAPPEN AGAIN.
I hope Donnie is staying. We really need some help here.

We just have to hope that STAT and CB can heal up and get back into the series. Until we lose a home game i'm not gonna panic. I still believe in this team. This was a freak game with STAT getting hurt.
6% of teams who have gone down 2-0 have went on to win. 6%.
Well thank god TD came to play.
This was a serious body blow. Knicks have a lot of heart, but if they don't have Amare next game, they are gonna have a hard time keeping up again.
its pretty much over if Amare is out next game, anybody would mail it in, I know I would
Nixluva, we're not winning this series. I told you before.
There's no execution down the stretch with this team, but I am pleased with the effort.
no misdirection. no kind of play.. give it to melo and watch him get triple teamed.. LOL.. wow..
Celtics have 3 hall of famers on their squad, Doc just picks one for the last sec shot. Game 3 will be Pierce. The go ahead bucket was all KG, and you can't double.

Well if he gets double or tripled you can find an open man under the basket and they did- problem is who that man was.
We are never winning anything with this coaching staff. That will hopefully change this summer.
