Celtics (2-0) at Knicks (0-2) Game 3 4/22

[fairweatherfan]

Wow...how did this guy go from one of the 6MOY front runners to this? When did it happen? And why?

P'haps that long stretch in mid-season when he started or played starters minutes went to his head. "Me big chief" syndrome (hope that's not offensive, oh well).

I think it started around then but I don't think it's mental, I think it's physical: Baby is a very big dude and he's run down from playing all those minutes.  He's a shadow of the guy he was when he had a smaller role.

i am cheering for orlando. they have a better chance of beating the bulls than atalanta

Not just that, but Atlanta gives me fits. Really does.

I'm not sure if the bulls can beat orlando, the magic got their number

[Kiorrik]

would it make sense to give Wafer a few minutes and let him get to the rim a few times? He's really got a knack for slashing, and Delonte has been tentative--can you believe he only played 5 min in the first half??

You reckon he'd actually slash? If so, wouldn't mind seeing us run against certain line-ups. Don't know if the Knicks are a good team to run against though, haven't caught much of 'm late this season (due to not having internet >_< darnation!)

I's rather Sasha at this point. No great faith in the cookie monster.

I guess I'm the only person on this planet that thinks the Hawks are scarier than the Bulls :p

The Bulls might know our D, but Doc has Thib's knowledge as well.

i'd like to see sasha out there when they bring jeffries and walker in...esp on williams...he would really irritate them on defense

[aporel#18]

amare looks like he is trying to play but just isn't comfortable. i would give him the jumper and make him shoot outside...and stop doubling melo..just leaves a scrub underneath open

+1

please Doc, listen to this wise advice

Wouldn't even let him get the shot off to be honest. Rather D down on him and make him pass to the scrubs. Rather have their bench try to beat us than mister "Star-call" A'mare.

his back injury won't help him to make the shots, though. As minutes go by, he'll struggle more. What I don't want to see is Baby trapping anyone. Stay with your man, Baby!

[Drucci]

Up 8 at the half, could have (should have?) been up more if it wasn't for the careless turnovers but I will take it. Hope someone shows up offensively though to help Pierce and Ray who are all alone so far. Nice half from Green offensively, agressive and efficient. And Doc has finally understood that less Baby and more JO means good things especially on D, it was about time.

D! What's up my man? Still watching late at night through ILP? I miss that man! What do you think of the quality?

Yep, always present for the playoffs games, it's 2:33 here! Quality is great and I have no lag so it's all good. I hope everyting is good for you in Australia! This game is a a  nice way to start your weekend uh?

It really is yeah It's Saturday here man, I've already had Good Friday off, and my home computer broke down, so I'm at work now lol! It's crazy I tell ya

I'm doing work for work and trying to watch the game at the same time

Let's get the W and I'll forget all about the broken down computer! (... not really ... but ... oh hell yeah, SWEEPTIME! )

Watching the game from work on a Saturday after a day off, crazy stuff indeed but classical Kiorrik I should say Let's hope the C's keep the lead to get the win then, enjoy the rest of the game and your weekend in advance!

Right--he did tweak it back in --March?--. Good call.

P'haps that long stretch in mid-season when he started or played starters minutes went to his head. "Me big chief" syndrome (hope that's not offensive, oh well).

if Sasha could do remotely what he in the last game of the season, sure! After all, he did do it all against this Knick's bench...I'm sure there's a reason he polishes pine, though...

[P2]

OK, what ESPN is showing right now... EX... CU... SES.

[barefacedmonk]

Nice start to the second half...Ray with a smooth 3.

[Kiorrik]

"Head on a swivel" about Rondo... yeah that sounds about right

LET'S GO CELTICS!!!

[fairweatherfan]

Landry Fields has just fallen off a cliff since the Melo trade.  Really doesn't know what his role is anymore.  It'd be nice to see us steal him away but I doubt even the Knicks are that dumb.

[Kiorrik]

Yeh, why not start off with a Ray three. Why not, I ask you; why not?

Lol @ Shaq catching Pierce HUSTLE!!!

... and there you have it. Shaq contributed, his traveling with the team has paid off.

LOL @ Rondo's baseline dribbling antics!
