Celtics (49-19) at Knicks (35-34) 3/21

[SHAQATTACK]

I expect the Knicks two high pwr offencive superstars to get about 65 points together, but it won't be enought to prevail. At least without a huge defensive job on our guys. Let em shoot and see if they can get their quotas , guard the paint and shut down the rest of the Knicks team.

You guys act like this entire game thread wont turn into a big ball of negative comments if we get blown out by 30.

I could also get hit by a bus, but if you told me not to go outside because I might get hit by a bus... I'd still chuckle.

Zero chance of that happening - every game is important - and these refs aren't too bad

I expect this game to be tough but I don't know why people are so scared of the Knicks.  So far they look like Miami minus the defense and ability to beat the Cavs.

It would be nice to see the starters come out strong tonight. KG is always up for the matchup against Amare at least.

Oh crap, Mike Breen is on the LP's announcers crew.

Im liking the jerseys tonight...same ones they had against LA right?

[barefacedmonk]

I hate playing against teams like Suns, Knicks, GSW...just offense..no defense.

Yeah although it's weird seeing the C's in home jerseys at MSG.

Congrats to KG, who just passed Elgin Baylor for 21st in all-time scoring. 

Meanwhile, gotta get some stops.  The Knicks can make any D look bad in short stretches, but we should be able to clamp down over time.

I don't understand why we stop playing defense against these kind of teams

[Drucci]

Nice start, and Melo has two fouls already. I like the fact that we're making our open shots, it hasn't been the case for like 3 games in a row and it's a big change.

Krstic is slower then Shaq AND Perk.

Terrible defender that never moves his feet.

[mr.dale]

KG is starting the night right

there is no way he can keep up with Amare, but neither can Perk or Shaq. At least he can score on him on the other end.
