Celtics (36-25) at Knicks (31-29) 4/16

They're easily on pace to break all-time three pointers record in a single game and will do it against No.1 defense in the league.
They will tell this story to their grandchildren, for sure.

It's a good thing they began this in the first half, the in-half break will cool them off.

We need Steamboat, but he should keep clear of Tyson.. We should sport a Twin tower setup with KG and Greg.. Greg should be on Melo and KG on Chandler.. Sasha should be on Novak.

WOW, someone turned up the 3 point sliders for the Knicks, they can't miss from 3

Well said! TP!

We'll find out how well Doc can adjust this team after the half.

Mind you, he's adjusting a Dooling, a Daniels and a Pavlovic. That's like bringing knives to a gunfight.

Some really dull knives.

Plastic knives.

Where's the steamboat?

I was just thinking that..HE can keep chandler out of the paint..!

[kg is king]

Greg on Melo? I don't think so...

[Kiorrik]

How about Avery though? Dude is 4-4 from deep. This guy was bricking 12 footers earlier in the season.

I hear ya. Our offense really isn't bad lately, nor is our D. I believe in this team, and I really, really can't blame them for what's happening here.

Well, I can blame them, but I can't really get angry over this.

[blink]

I have to admit it, I think JR Smith is a punk...great shooting but an arrogant punk.

And Steve Novak, give me a break, the guy is a great shooter, but play some D on him, don't give him any more open looks.  We are playing right into the Knicks hands.

Someone is going to need to play some 1 on 1 (without double teams) against CA so we can shut down the other chumps.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

How about JJJ on Melo...he won't be able to shoot jumpers onm that kid.....and he can keep up with him too....Hey Doc......!

Where's the steamboat?

Doc took him out because Chandler basically murdered him in the paint.

We need Greg on Melo and to block JR.

Newsflash!!!!

Chandler in the paint isn't the problem in this game.


C's will have to go with the small ball lineup with Sasha at the 3 and Pierce at the 4 to get back in this.

[curacha]

Why is peitrus out...he'd cover those guys out there..!

he's got a swollen knee.

JR Smith not Carmelo Anthony is to blame for the Celtics deficit. He came in off the bench and changed the complexity of this match.

Greg on Melo? I don't think so...

Greg ain't half bad on D but he's basically nothing against Chandler.. We could utilize his size against Melo or JR.

How about JJJ on Melo...he won't be able to shoot jumpers onm that kid.....and he can keep up with him too....Hey Doc......!

Melo can blow by JJJ, come back, blow by him again, come back and still blow by him before JJJ moves an inch.
