I am absolutely amazed watching this incredibly poor effort tonight. This team just really seems not to care. I don't care what they say.

Exactly. It feels like some training friendly match.

[vinnie]

Honestly - if this team has any pride, how can it play this way against one of the worst teams in the NBA?

[Change]

knicks can't miss.

[Donoghus]

Nice shot by Robinson one on one!

Now I have accepted that we won't get stops in this game, so let's outscore them with 5 minutes left.

Yeah, pretty much.

We get 2 or 3 stops the rest of the way, we're gonna win.  That's the way its looking.

I cannot believe how insensitive our players are being to Mike and Tommy. I'm in my twenties watching the game on delay knowing the score and my blood pressure still can't take it. I can't imagine how they're feeling watching this unnecessary nail-biter live.

Regardless of the final outcome tonight the apparent progress made on the road trip hasn't carried over to playing in Boston.

The defense has been non existent tonight.  The C's appear unable to stop basic pick and roll basketball or defend the 3 point line.  After the encouraging signs on the road trip it really seemed the team would come out tonight and be fired up.  A big win against a terrible team was the expected start but that obviously hasn't been the case.

Unfortunately it looks like nothing much has changed and that the Portland game was an aberration.

WHERE IS THE DEFENSE this is pitiful!!!

How is one game against the Knicks more important in judging our current success, than a 4 game road trip we just had? You can't just ignore that.

[Donoghus]

This is one of Tommy's infamous "rubber room" games.

[celticinorlando]

sure hope they play defense thursday...there is no reason they should be in a game with the knicks....

Don't you know? Being able to keep negativity flowing is all that matters. Win or lose.

[Donoghus]

There's 2 stops in a row!

They've pretty much played like this against the teams with worst records and lost about half of those games so this is actually business as usual.

[Donoghus]

Don't need the low percentage longball 3 there, Nate.

[Drucci]

Well, we got 2 stops in a row, which can be called success, but now we're back to a one point game and we can't score anymore...
