Knicks (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) Game 2 4/19

[P2]

So much for the Knicks having a chance in this series.

Great start, it's what I've expected, now I hope our bench can provide an extra spark and that we will end this game by halftime

defense leading to offense. this is when the Cs are at their best. gotta keep it up on defense...knicks really having to work for any kind of shot

[Drucci]

Don't know if it's a good sign that all our points are coming from the fastbreak but hey we get stops for the most part and rebounds, and Rondo is finishing to the rim so it's all good. Just hope we find some rythm offensively soon to score on halfcourt sets and get other guys going.

Good start anyway!

second unit needs to come in and RUN...jeff green that means you

[YouCantHandleTheTruth!]

Rondo sent Douglas home,,

I'm gonna say it: Jermaine O'Neal is a better help defender than Kendrick Perkins. 

That's not to say that he's better bodying up Dwight Howard (he's not), but it does mean that this team can do very, very well with him.  Especially if we never have to face Orlando. 

I agree.  We will suffer if we're relying on JO to guard Howard or Bynum, but in terms of coming across and challenging/blocking shots, he's more agile and has better timing than Perk.

ok guys, you know how to get it done, now, keep the agression!!!

Great D, good attacking by Rondo.

keep the good things going. Go Celtics!!!!

[barefacedmonk]

Rondo Show....rated E for everyone.

[ACF]

Go for their throats. Rondo should just keep attacking, we'll blow them out.

[celticinorlando]

wowza...the defense is just GETTING IT DONE

[GrandTheftRondo]

JO is beasting. Rondo is beasting. This is what I see in my dreams.

[zerophase]

hello rondo... welcome to the playoffs. why couldn't you attack like that this whole year?

[fairweatherfan]

JO is beasting. Rondo is beasting. This is what I see in my dreams.

And they both come out.  Don't get it, Doc.  At least keep Rondo in and get Ray/Paul some rest instead.

EDIT:  Ok, I guess Rondo's got a right to be tired after that.  But don't let it happen again Rajon

Two blocked shots for O'Neal, but how many shot alterations?  4?  5?  

Penetration is already picking up with him out.  He needs to play 25-30 minutes tonight.
