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

Amar'e clearly taunting Ray after blocking his shot and knocking him to the floor ... no call, what a shock.

[Bahku]

Stoudemire gets a tech after Big Baby takes charge #29 ... make-up call. (Glen hurt his head on that one).

[Bahku]

Wow - Rondo is back ... that was a very bad roll. Whether he takes a few games off or not, that's a great sign ... man, this kid is resilient!

[Bahku]

Rondo is definitely hurting ... can still make a nice assist, though, and a basket or two, (as he drains one).

[Bahku]

The Celts have very few answers for Stoudemire on defense ... KG taking it very personally, but in all fairness, he's getting no help on the picks and switches. KG's having his way at the offensive end, though ... playing great there. Need some stops.

[Bahku]

Man, I love Ray Allen! There is NO ONE I'd rather have at the line or behind the three-point stripe at the end of a game than Jesus Shuttlesworth ... awesome!!

[Bahku]

Wow ... what an acting job by Gallinari ... and he gets the call!! Stoudemire getting away with a ton in this game ... wow.

[Bahku]

What a move and shot by Pierce ... Nate almost kills himself celebrating, lol! Not many players can do that ... The Truth is amazing.

[Bahku]

Didn't count ... way too late ... why are the Knicks celebrating??

[Bahku]

The officials have to use replay to figure that out?!? That kind of says it all about these refs tonight ... that was very obvious.  

[Bahku]

This is the biggest difference between this team and last year's ... this is the kind of game they would lose last year, but this year, they're finding a way to win. I love it ... the Celtics did not play well, the Knicks played their best, and the Celts still win ... very sweet!! The Knicks' streak is OVER!! Go Celtics!!

[Bahku]

Stoudemire (after the game) talking like he won the game ... hate to tell you, Amar'e, but you guys brought your very best game, and couldn't miss the basket, yet a half-hearted effort by the Celtics was still too much for you. Reality check, please.

Celtics 118, Knickerbockers 116



"What?!"

That's why he's the one in my sig. Look at the fans in the background - arms raised in defeat  

[Bahku]

Greenberg calling this a "moral victory" for the Knicks, and while I agree that they are now a team to be reckoned with, the Celtics did not play their "A" game, are missing key players, have other players who were playing injured, and did not bring their "A" game by any means, yet still found a way to win ... that, to me, is much more of a moral victory than what the Knicks did, (with considerable assistance from the officials, by the way). You just lost a few points with me, Mikey.

Celtics beat them at there own(style)game...D'Antoni brought the euro-style offense to the east coast without learning anything from losing to the lakers all those years.It going to take some form of defense to win aganist the better teams.
