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

[barefacedmonk]

I love seeing Rondo flying up the court. 

+1

[slamtheking]

finally a lead!!!

this unit can't rebound for crap but it's showing some energy and fight.  can't say enough about how much this team can accomplish if it decides to play hard.

bench needs to play with confidence. keep going to the basket please....and box out jeffries

[Drucci]

That's more like it!! Delonte with the huge D on Douglas and then the shoot, and Green! Nice!

[vinnie]

Put the starters back please

Random side note...anyone watching the CSN broadcast of this game?

Is it just me or have the camera angles and changes and all that been terrible this game?  I don't want to see the tops of the players heads or a view from behind the backboard.  Keep it classic.  It's so annoying this game.

That last three by ray, Dwest set an amazing screen under the basket along the baseline to get him open. Something that moron that wears #11 with a body three times his size should learn to do

[Neurotic Guy]

finally. some life.  

Have you been watching the 2nd half? 

[LooseCannon]

10 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 0 turnovers.  That's a nice line for Rondo so far.

I was just thinking the same thing. Just because it's the playoffs doesn't mean you should switch up the camera angles. They've been terrible.

[Who]

I'd rather see Jeff Green on Amare than Baby.

All of Garnett's minutes should come against Amare. The few remaining minutes should be Jermaine.

Nobody else should ever be matched up against Amare. Neither Jeff Green or Glen Davis are able to play serviceable defense against a guy like Amare.

[Change]

Just Run

[tgreanier]

Jeff Green sucks Jeff Green sucks Jeff Green sucks...oh wait, not that time.

The game thread tonight is worse than normal for all the negativity. It is like a Lakers thread people, come on. Yes, Boston played like garbage for a lot of this game...but it is game one of a long post season. Let them make their statement...whatever it turns out to be.

I have faith in the Celtics to always try. Are they too old? Maybe. Maybe they are. But I do not believe for a minute this team will lay down.

And I guarantee Big Baby will make a big positive difference in games. Not all of them, but that is why this is a team sport. So will Green. So will Krstc even...

Back to my tall glass of green Kool-aid...

you gotta give Amare credit.  He's worked super hard on that jumper and it's really paid off.
