Knicks · its all about the defense so far...best i've seen in 19 yrs (page 1)

23 points in the 2nd half for the celts , are we that good defensively or are the celts that bad..

Woodson takes every opportunity to preach it, only talks about it, and it shows, especially in the 2nd half of games.

wow

defense has been great but to be fair not having rondo really hurts them

Unfrickinbelievable. Kenypn just joined Shump as my favorite Knicls

Its like they challenge themselves to break the record when they held them to 25 the game before.

This is true, but still... Twenty-three second half points after limiting them to 25? Thats something! The C's aren't pushovers at all.

His block on Paul Pierce put him at the top of my list

I do believe we were this good defensively, but we slacked during the season.

But the team is focused right now. The way they come out of the halftime rest, feisty and grabbing control of the game in overpowering fashion? Its just beautiful.

Keep the intensity! The Celtics are making us play playoff basketball and we are succeeding in amazing fashion defensively.

The Celtics are without a point guard and it shows. Age is also showing as their shooters are inconsistent at best. Pierce and Garnett are running on fumes.

Winning game 3 will be the toughest test of the season.

It has been a long time since the Knicks have had a big that is as good defensively as Kenyon. How bout that Kenyon Martin?

The way the Celtics play in the first half and then can't get anything from that successful half to repeat in the second, for 24 NBA-basketball minutes, says a lot about us.

Its true the C's are missing Rondo incredibly, though.

Phucking 7th seed and they look like one.

They got "celtics" on the uniform but they are cooked.

Kick them to the curb and move forward. No big deal.

Game 3 is important. If we win then they will be totally deflated

Kenyon Martin put it best "We only protected homecourt which is what we are suppose to do" Game 3 is the most important game in my opinion. We win its over but if the celtics win they win then they will get momentum

Folks lets be real...yes we played great def but also boston sucks without rondo. If rondo was here ita a diff story. This is more like taking advantage of an injured opponent. Im still happy with these wins though

No Amare is addition by subtraction.

I don't think so. With Martin, he will never have to play Center. It also gets Melo off the ball more. His defense is better than Cope and Novak. I just think the Knicks will need the low post play going forward.

Too many fans are getting giddy over the way the Knicks are beating the C's, but this C's team isn't that good. There will be a tougher challenge in rd 2 and we could use Amar'e in order to balance the scoring by having a post presence as well as perimeter scoring. If the C's had any offense they could be more of a challenge, cuz they have caused us some problems with their D. Besides the idea isn't so much to beat Boston but to beat Miami. ALL HANDS ON DECK!!!
