I'm not upset.  I'm frustrated, but that's about it.  That was a great game last night, that was horrendously officiated both ways.

Now I am just worried that the C's won't have anything left for tonight in NY.  Last night they lost a game that was pretty evenly matched.  They need to win tonight though.  They have one of the toughest stretches of the year coming up, and they need to go into it on an up note.  Let's not see another swoon, like after the first Lakers loss.

Celts should pull a Popavich and sit the Big 3 tonight (that'd go over big for the people who paid a bazillion dollars for seats at MSG.
Yup

I know there's a break in there, but that's a lot of road against some pretty good teams...

KG should have plenty after having to watch the end of that game on the bench.  I expect him to have a HUGE game tonight.  I also look for Rondo to cut through the Knicks D like he did at the Garden.
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

The problem is, the Knicks are dangerous to a tired team.  They may play no defense, but they can put up points in a hurry.  This is almost a must-win, since they are going to have so many more difficult games coming up for the rest of this month.

Totally agree - I just hope the C's don't fall into another funk, especially with the All-Star break looming.

Also, I see a lot of discussion as to why we lost but I don't see turnovers mentioned - LA scored 24 points off of Celtics turnovers.  To me, that is a considerable amount.
