What a horrible second quarter ... we didn't stop playing defense completely, but certainly let up some, and our offense was just non-existent and had no consistency or purpose ... hope it improves in the third.

[Bahku]

Third quarter much the sameas the rest, but Paul is heating up early on in the 4th ... time for KG to get off the bench, too!

Woooooo ... sweeeeeet dunk by Jeffie!! More of that, please!!

[Bahku]

Man, I'm lovin' the energy the C's are puitting into this 4th quarter ... and the Knicks fans chanting, haha! LOVE IT!!

[Bahku]

Wow ... the refs getting very creative with their calls ... man!

Not impressed with 'Melo at all ... sucks on defense, and loves to get away with cheap stuff. Great defense by the Celts here ... Ray with more blood, but the boys are moving the ball well. What great hustle play by Rondo ... sweet shot by the Truth!! Yeah, Baby ... we've got this one!!

Nice come-back win ... we held the Knicks to 18 pts in the third, and 17 pts in the fourth. We shot FG's at 46% to their 41%, (not great for either team), we sucked from beyond the arc, (1 of 10 to their 7 of 22), but out-rebounded them considerably, (a great sign), and had a ton of steals.

We looked very half-hearted in the first half, but came out after the break with a bit more juice, and dug in defensively, creating some nice fast-break points at the other end. I think the "Celtics suck" chants worked completely opposite to what the fans intended, and the C's took motivation from it.

Absolutely loved the shot of Ray's mom consoling Spike Lee ... that kind of summed it up for me.

Great win, Boys ... they're gelling again and becoming more of that cohesive unit we've been waiting for ... Big Baby's energy the other night was really the turning point, and I think we're in for a win-streak and the smoothing over of the new members' transition to this team.

Go Celtics!
