Knicks (18-18) at Celtics (18-17) 3/4

[gar]

With Baron Davis and JR Smith the Knicks are going to be a factor in the Playoffs. Especially with the Defense they are playing. A bit of a collapse at the end (typical Stodimire) but they are a different team now.

Kevin Pelton
Magic Johnson is the only other guy to go at least 17-17-17 (24-17-17 on 4/18/89)

  So that would be the first game with at least 17 boards and at least 18 assists in nba history.

[Celtics Fan]

Good win. It was the NY Kicks but its a W.

Amazing stat of the game:

Ray Allen led the C's with a +22 and only had 12 points.

Pierce +3 (34 points)
Bass +2 (18 points)
KG +10 (18 points)
Rondo +5 (18 points)

Everyone on the bench was a minus.

How the heck did that happen?

[Witch-King]

Great games from both Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo. Jeremy Lin didn't do so bad, either

Man am I bummed that I missed this game...

[slamtheking]

awesome triple double by Rondo so does that make me a jerk for still pointing out he blew about 5 layups?   

Rondo hits any of those layups, no OT needed.

Pietrus needs to learn to drive to the basket.  too many missed 3's.


now that I'm done p---ing and moaning, great game to watch.

Ray hit a couple shots but I'm not going to let you guys talk about EVERYONE else without saying how bad Ray was!! Pie may not hit shots but his defense makes up for it!





S/N: The Fakers just beat the Cheat, I keep saying... been saying from last season... if you got a big that will punch them in the mouth (tough bigs) you can beat them if your other guys are good players!! We need a tough big (don't care if he doesn't score) to hit them HARD when they go driving in!! Bynum spanked them on D... we need someone that can say "I bet you wont come in here all willy nilly again!!!" If the cheat don't lose to the fast teams they lose to the ones who are tough inside and play D!!! This is why we were so good with Shaq against them!

I can't find Ray's dagger three in OT.

But here's Mr. Triple-Double:

Correct !! I noticed the same thing.  The way to stop LBJ and Wade enought to win .  It takes "BIG BIG"S" huge guys like Perk , Shaq, 7 foot guys 260+ pounds that can block out, block shots and make LBJ and Wade pay the price (beat them up ) for throwing their bodies into the paint. The Fakers didn't allow all the layup and penetration plays into the paint and dunks . (easy shots). We have to have a REAL center 7 ft and "BIGs" to deal with this type of situation.  We have nobody to intimidate the paint with physical play ( like Bynum)
