Knicks (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) Game 2 4/19

[houseonfire09]

If Melo gets 5 fouls, he will get away with anything short of using a steel chair to beat up Pierce.

[snively]

KG now 3 for 12.  Bench 4-14.  Knicks with a 16-6 edge on the offensive boards.  Frustrating game for C's fans.

[Drucci]

How can you play THAT badly against basically Melo and 4 nobodies? This is outrageous!!

[P2]

What is happening? Up by just 2?

[birdwatcher]

I thought if you got the ball first on a block attempt it wasn't a foul?

Maybe in soccer.  That's never been the rule in basketball, though.

Not according to the announcers on ESPN the last game. But what do I or they know.

SMH. Single handedly getting beat by Carmelo Anthony.

We're still up by two.

[letsgoblue86]

This game is terrible, the refs are the only reason NY is still even in this game.  Carmelo gets every call, we don't get any and how do they not call an over and back?

[celticinorlando]

they might win this series but they aren't getting by miami playing like this....

[kg is king]

SMH. Single handedly getting beat by Carmelo Anthony.

You are saying this like he's a scrub. The guy is a super-star, he has this in him you know? Meanwhile, just stay calm, if we withstand the Knick's best shot, we'll be fine.

[Marcus13]

This is unreal.  UNREAL.

Carmelo is going to be the greatest player ever tomorrow if he really pulls this off

[aporel#18]

Celtics, get it together right now!!

Doc, stop this Baby nonsense, you're going too far gambling in a playoff game.

Go Celtics!!!

[YouCantHandleTheTruth!]

We're keeping this game close with the Knicks depleted, playing lazy.

If we win, it will sound like a half loss anyway.

[Neurotic Guy]

Awful sequence to end the 3rd and start the 4th.  LOTS of energy from the Knicks and they are just expending the max on every play and it's working.  C's have not been able to keep up their solid offense from the early-mid 3rd.

But, a fresh Ray and JO could be big as the Knicks legs start to tire.

No idea what they said, but you don't get away with contact in basketball just because you hit the ball.  

Why do you think the saying is, "all ball", rather than something like "he got ball"? 

[celticinorlando]

the lazy and bad habits of the last month and a half are coming back...joke
