Knicks (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Round 1 Game 1 4/17

stagnant offense i wonder why

4v5

Because Rondo insists on walking the ball up and not allowing his team to get into its offense till there's 15 seconds on the shot clock.

He's been doing this for 2 months.

[PosImpos]

There's no reason the Celtics shouldn't be able to score inside against this Knicks team.

Pierce needs to post up everytime down the court.

I disagree . . . they need more movement to try to break down the defense, not more iso stuff.

EVERY NBA playoff game i've seen has had the home team getting EVERY call go their way. This may be the only game in which the away team get's that help instead. I hate the NBA....

Where do you see that? Both teams have the same number of fouls and free throws. It's early in the game, relax.

[celticinorlando]

Long scoring drought begins. Offense is really really sad.

[Neurotic Guy]

The Knicks were not a good defensive team this seaon, but I can't see how they are terrible tonight so far.  They've been active and aggressive and are clogging the lane very well.

OOHH, who is that lady with Bill?

[vinnie]

Green did okay playing d on melo,  but he continues to be invisible on offense. Continues to make no sense to me.

[CelticSooner]

Same Rondo for most of the past month. C's are way too reliant on Baby making jump shots.

Any chance we bring in Flo for Davis? It's worth asking...

[mahonedog88]

Is it bad that after a quarter and a half into this series, I'm already starting to think we're doomed?

We've scored 30 points on a HORRENDOUS defensive team a quarter and a half into the game.

Our offense is shot and if it hasn't gotten figured out after 30 games or whatever it is since the trading deadline, then it will never be figured out.

From what I remember the Celtics didn't look very good in Game 1 of the playoffs last year or the year before, either. 

But this is a different team that has yet to show since the Perk trade that it has figured out its offense.

[bruinsandceltics]

Hey Pierce, you may want to play defense on him.

[radiohead]

This could get ugly quick. Boston better get over those turnovers and get their focus back.

[Marcus13]

looking awful on both ends of the floor

[CaliCeltics]

our "defense" is letting NY shoot over 60%.
I thought they were the team that didn't play any?

[Kuberski33]

Seriously...watch where the shot clock is when Rondo finally gets into the play.  15 or 16 seconds every time.
