Celtics (29-5) at Knicks (12-19) 1/4

[ma11l]

I'd love to see Harrington get 30 against Posey.  Danny needs to do something, this team as it is now isn't getting out of the Eastern Conference Finals.

where has KG's game gone? i don't understand playing eddie and tony together for so long in the third/fourth...stupid

KG is injured. TA shouldn't get on the floor ever again.

If KG is injured then he shouldnt be on the floor either, he was terrible tonight, stop trying to make excuses for him, he was worse than powe and BBD tonight

Maybe he shouldn't be on the floor, but he clearly was injured so using that as an explanation for his poor play isn't a stupid thing. When your hurt you don't play as well, so that's why his game was off.

He was still better than BBD.

he was better than BBD tonight? did you watch the game?

KG- 29min, 6pts, 7reb, 4ast, 5blks, 3tos, 3pfs
BB- 11min, 6pts, 2reb, 1ast, 0blks, 0tos, 0pfs

KG may have done better on the noticeable stats (reb blks ast) except for the first time i can remember BBD had NO turnovers and NO personal fouls. also Glen played about 1/3 the minutes KG did.

Leon- 12min, 5pts, 6rbs, 0ast, 0blk, 1stl, 2tos, 0pfs

I wouldn't say that yet, but it seems like we're moving back into being 0's on the road again, and win only home games.

bottomline is this team doesn't have much chemistry right now...cracks started with the chirping on the court at LA....as rondo seems to go...the team goes

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

If we dont have the lead in the 4th, we're rattled, play sloppy and take bad shots, ....doc has been a mess lately...he constantly looks nervous, his face just screams concern and his rotations were just off tonight...and ever since the LA game, rondo hasnt been good, and when rondo isnt good, the celtics arent very good

[Andy Jick]

i hope danny's memory takes him back to when he played in the 80's and he remembers the importance of having a solid bench.

posey's absence means that every bench player is now playing a role he didn't play last year...and it's really starting to show.

[xmuscularghandix]

Bench not the problem.

[Roy Hobbs]

Bench not the problem.

I think there's more than one problem.

[NoraG1]

Bench not the problem.

They certainly are a part of the problem in most games.

[celticinorlando]

Bench not the problem.

not all of the problem.....but you are right..there is something more to it...they look very tired right now...like the streak physically took it out of them....something else is going on...they have to play through this

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

I agree about the chemistry, it's detiorating

[Scalablob990]

I'd say the entire TEAM has a problem right now.

I agree. Most teams want to beat the Celtics so bad that they play alot better then they normally would. Here is a link I found:

There is a reason why teams have a hard time repeating. Celtics are finding out this year.

[celticinorlando]

team has lost their swagger...and they need a jump from something...bench...closed door meeting...adding players...benching tony allen....something...and i certainly dont like the way Doc subs the bench all for one with one starter...esp this bench.

Yeah I actually did watch the game believe it or not. Congrats to BBD for not being a moron and not commiting 5 or 6 idiotic fouls.

The absence of turnovers is nice, but that just keeps you from being a negative. It doesn't make you good. It makes you NOT a liability.

KG on the other hand, he basically held this team together until he got injured. Guys were getting beat left and right, and he was shutting down their drives. His defense was superb, even if his O was lacking. He was tripled teamed all night and then injured. Considering Glen Davis was not tripled, and often not even guarded, I'd say KG outplayed him.

6 pts and 2 rebs is nothing to write home about, anyway.
