Knicks (8-14) at Celtics (11-10) 2/3

Jeff Van Gundy = idiot.

wish he'd shut up...he's a tool and sick of listening to him talk just so he can hear himself.

[vinnie]

Wow. Rondo looks like he has been out a year, not 8 games

[Celts Fan 92]

bad first half and this game is still close we make a huge run in the 3rd quarter to take control

[snively]

Knicks playing good defense, Melo playing a great game.

They really do come to play against the C's.

[Tgro]

We're better than that.

[YouCantHandleTheTruth!]

the offense looks bad because Rondo is NOT a shooter.

The big three are no more in their prime, and if another shooting weapon comes out (like it happened in the last 6-7 games) everything looks more balanced.

Having Rondo trying to force assist after assist is just useless at times; he doesn't shoot, opponent defense settles around the other four and everything is pretty much screwed.

Yeah, let's hope E'twaun Moore gets some burn

[RebusRankin]

Need to play better D.

Funny, but this team looked pretty good withOUT Rondo.  Nobody was calling the big 3 old during that winning streak.  face it, with rondo running this team our half-court offense is stagnant and boring.  rondo needs to get traded to a team that runs...this team isn't built for him.

pretty much completely agree. Anyone who has even just played a lot of basketball at the gym has done this and knows how it works. This team used to be way faster and have lots better defense. Now it doesn't and is just a slow, poor shooting team.

Ray has got to be thinking "I can't make every shot. I can't do this any more. What the hell do they want from me".

[SHAQATTACK]

Rondo?? didn't you learn a thing sitting on the bench watching Moore and AB play???

The team plays better with Moore in there, I don't give a rats left cheek bone if he is a rookie.

DOC!!! stop playing your golfing buddies and play the KIDS!!!!

[slamtheking]

have to agree with the sentiments that Rondo isn't helping tonight.  He's a non-factor on offense and isn't making an impact on D. 

C's also seem to be getting the short end of the stick with the refs too.  Not a huge difference but noticeable.

And what was the deal with the clock starting too soon before the half?!!  Timekeeper might not be working there again.  rule 1: don't screw the home team.

[European NBA fan]

I don't really buy into the "our offense looks worse with Rondo". It's been one half, and he is obviously not 100 percent yet.

These are the same Knicks that took the Bulls to the wire last night. They are a better team, than most of those we have beat in the past couple of weeks.

[Tgro]

The youth injection is gone.

We look old again.

[j804]

All the balls bouncing there way isn't helping either
