F: JR Smith
F: Shumpert

Knicks are super-small right now.

Always wanted JR Smith on this team, not so much after this series.

Yeah...him and shumpert are mouthy turds

Almost thought they could pull it off  Glad they fought though

Pierce better check back in and get an ovation.

Knicks are very proficient at rebounding.  4 guys crashing the boards, even the guards.  Why can't we do this?

DId Shavlik ever accumulate a minute of PT this series?

Celtics have just thrown in the towel. Give pierce and kg curtain calls and clear the bench

I've enjoyed watching kg and pierce, but the last two seasons have been a complete waste of time.  Next year should be our long-delayed return to complete irrelevance ... Let's try to pick up some young assets and tank for a proper superstar successor to Garnett.

Easy to say in hindsight.  But life don't work that way.  I've enjoyed following this team for as long as its home.  But yeah, the end has come.

Hindsight?  Our Team has been perpetually mediocre since shaq got hurt.  Last year we were almost just as terrible in the regular season.  Thanks to some lucky playoff draws (horfordless hawks and sub .500 Philly) we snuck into the ECF and made Miami sweat it out.  It was entertaining, but we were out of our league... And this year we were exposed even further.  Time has come for a long overdo reset... Could be another decade until we sniff contention again, but at least we are no longer a sitting duck franchise milking the last bit of juice out of once great men.  Tanking for wiggins next year gives us a purpose... And we can move forward with hope for the future... Instead of stalling in year 6 of a 3 year window.

Please

I just can't believe why Doc has escaped so much criticism.  Dang, the guy is such a brilliant coach because Thibs installed an actual defensive scheme for him and they won a championship with three HOFers still in the tail end of their decline.  They couldn't have done it without him.

This offense was still bad with Rondo out there.  The ball got into the paint a bit more but it was mostly kicked out for jumpers. 

It's so frustrating to watch the Celtics run the same four or five sets for the past six seasons.  You look at Miami's offense.  It's night and day between their first year together and where they are now.  The Knicks run a lot isos but they've incorporated more picks to create switches and they have an offensive identity at least.  Popovich overhauled their offensive approach even though their core players didn't change.  The hallmark of the Celtics offense is a guy holding the ball on the wing 25 feet from the basket.  For the cherry on top, that guy usually can't pass to save his life (Bass or Bradley) or aren't very good at it (Green).  Wonderful.

[droopdog7]

Seriously, I wish this were a fight and we could throw in the towel.

[cltc5]
