Our bench is not awful... 55-2 looks bad... but Novak and Smith (their two best bench players) accounted for 50 points... In comparison, our two best bench players (Pietrus and Allen) didn't play... So theoretically, if Novak and Smith were out... it woulda been 5-2

True. And *if* Ray and MP had played they could've gone three of 20 from downtown: Voila, nine points and a Celts W.

Nice thought, but I'm not sure where Ray and Pietrus playing would have given them an extra 20 shots like house money.

  • It's all about the TEAM!
When a team shoots lights out as well as the Knicks did last night, they're probably going to beat anybody....

The Heat...

The Bulls...

...OKC.....

...San Antonio...

...LA....

And even The Celtics.

When a team is on like that, you just have to take it and accept it is their night. What's amazing is we only had 2 points off the bench and even with them shooting lights out the whole game, we only lost by 8.

I don't know about you guys, but it felt like we lost by 30. But I kept watching the game and we kept being about 2 made shots away from being really in position to steal that win.

They came up big last night. Our bench came up short. The stars aligned for them. Order will be restored.

When the cosmos are correct, I still believe the Celtics beat the Knicks every time in a 7 game series.

We just have to tip our hat to them for being on last night. Their new coach has made them have nothing to lose and they seem a bit dangerous with that mindset. But pound for pound, I still feel we are the far superior TEAM.
The Celtics aren't quitters. Why should you be? - blind homer
