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

[ACF]

It was ugly but we're up 2-0. Great game by Rondo, just like I had expected.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

Go Celtics!

This same sort of stuff happened in 2008. No such thing as an easy playoff series. Look at Chicago with a sub-.500 Indy team.

I'm not sure how long the ride will last, but you gotta love the resolve so far.

[Cman]

For the next game, Docs got to limit BBD's minutes more, and find a way to get Jeff Green more involved, perhaps by letting him, um, play SF.

Hm, all of that is strangely deja-vu ish.

[TheBigFive]

Doc couldnt  put JO back in cause the Knicks went small with 2 guards n 3 forwards.  That's a gamble.  As much as I hate BBD playing, I think he made the right choice of leaving him in there over JO.

[aporel#18]

Ok Doc, you escaped from it, but your gambling almost costs us a playoff win.

Hopefully anything you're trying to teach to the team is learned, my heart won't stand a lot of lousy performances with Big Lazy playing a ton of minutes.

2-0 is 2 down, 14 to go. Celtics baby!!!

[YouCantHandleTheTruth!]

KG !!!! CLUTCH SHOT AND D, WOW!

That.

In the end, KG is always the most reliable player.

But this is a kind of half loss to me; not going far if we keep turn it on and off, we should've won by 15 tonight.

Anyway, go Celtics!

[barefacedmonk]

Can we possibly notice that once again the Celtics found a way to win? No, probably not. We will now proceed with complaining about how much they suck.

Sure its 2-0..but do you really want to win games in this fashion? Games that are decided by one possession? Lady luck will not favour us everytime.

They need to play much better than they have played in these two games. I'll take the win and I'm happy that we won...but this was a very lacklustre performance. How can you even deny that?

[ejk3489]

Melo's on fire...this game is over, folks

Carmelo will win this on a last shot.

KG graciously sets up Melo for a game-winner.

Tsk tsk, boys... Tsk, tsk.

Ha!

TP's for everyone though, even those who gave up early as usual. 

[hpantazo]

where was JO at the end of the 4th?

[RJ87]

WOW! Clutch baskets AND DEFENSE from our 2nd Place Defender of the Year!!

Thanks, KG!

Way to gut it out, C's!!!

OH! And one more thing:

Seriously. Rondiesel pretty much went toe-to-toe with Melo tonight to keep us in the game... Before everyone goes jumping off of cliffs, just take note: until the last 25 seconds, Rondo was basically our only player on the court tonight.

[BASS_THUMPER]

lovin the win!!!

[outcry]

A win is a win is a win is a win is a win.

I just hope JO is healthy.  Neither BBD nor Green impressed.  I think in this game Green was involved plenty, he just sucked (2-for-8 in 11 minutes.)

Found a way to win?  I guess.  I'm happy with the win, and it was entertaining.  However, it shouldn't have been this big of a struggle without Amare and Chauncey in there.

A win is a win is a win.

[The Walker Wiggle]

Much credit to Melo and a depleted Knicks squad. I'm not taking anything away from the D'Antones.

Celtics just closed it out. Rondo, KG, and welcome back Delonte!
