Celtics (19-4) at Knicks (16-9) 12/15

We're getting handled right now.

The knicks are starting EXACTLY how they want...add that to the celtics just not making smart decisions and it equals a very poor first quarter

[hpantazo]

why don't they put KG on Amare? Erden was getting killed guarding him, and Davis will too.

They will in the fourth quarter.  They don't want to do that the whole game.

Erden seemed to be hampered by attempting not to pick up fouls.

well at this rate they aren't going to make it to the 4th quarter. Ugh

[KobeShesNotConsenting!]

How about 60 for Amar'e tonight? I think this is going to be a real ugly one.

not so fast. The 30 point streak will probably continue after tonight...But the winning streaks only leavin with one team tonight, and that us

Celts have to figure out how to play defense without a real center tonight. Maybe they should go with a small lineup with Garnett on Amar'e

[vinnie]

Barely hanging in there, but at least hanging in. Pierce forcing way too many bad shots and Amar'e should have his 30 by halftime. Rebounding also horrendous in that quarter.

[snively]

Couldn't ask for a worse rebounding duo than Baby and Semih. 

[kozlodoev]

Well, this was horrible. What's next?

[Spicoli]

So why isn't Doc going small and putting KG on Amare?

That quick trigger 3 was something I'd expect from Nate, not Pierce.

That is why I expect a loss tonight. With those two in the game there is virtually no rebounding. But, Celts really have no choice unless they want to play Harangody.

[Change]

8 points lead could turn into 20 if the knicks get hot from beyond the arc. Celtics are playing with fire

[ejk3489]

Geez Semih grab the rebound

It was a 2 for 1 in the end of the quarter.

[MaxAMillion]

Why did Semih bat the ball instead of grabbing it?

[CelticSooner]

Geez Semih grab the rebound

He literally batted the ball back to a Knick.
