Knicks (6-15) at Celtics (10-14) Game #25 12/13

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Crawford has to be the most frustrating player ever.  He follows a really stupid 3 point try with a brilliant assist to Faverani.  AAARRGG!

yep. mind boggling jacking up stupid shots like that.

oh and how in the heck did AB miss TWo FT's at the end? thank GOD that did not cost us the finals.

looking more and more like we're gonna be stuck as playoff also-rans this year.

How do you guys feel about wins like this where players like Courtney Lee, Bass and Wallace are key components to our win?  It kind of bugs me a little seeing three guys who have nothing to do with our long term future carrying us to mediocrity.  At least Sully was solid.

Lee is having an amazingly efficient season.  50%/45%/90%.  Crazy.  I gotta imagine he and Bass have pretty solid trade value right now.

denver should send us timofey mozgov as a token of appreciation for consistently beating the knicks. we can ship marshon if they like.

During the Lakers-OKC game Jeff Van Gundy just mentioned that Brad Stevens is going to need to be looked at as Coach of the Year if he continues to get as much out of his players as he is and if they make the playoffs.

Nice to see Stevens getting some national mention as what he has done has been nothing short of miraculous given the talent here that needed to be developed to have this success.

Ya know, that doesn't bother me. Throw Hump in there as well. I like winning (ha) and their trade value goes up.

Good comeback.....

nothing new there. BS has turned chickenpoop into chicken salad so far.

I'm not worried about it anymore. I trust DA will trade picks and guys for a certain high pick before everything is said and done these next few years. Hopefully he can bring in a all-star FA as well.

Gotta say I thought Vitor and Kelly had great production tonight.

Vitor yes, Kelly no.  KO played terrible defense against Bargnani and also turned the ball over a few times. He had one nice block and a little put back bucket, but otherwise reminded me that he is basically a big man project at this point.

I love when Pressey, KO, and Sully are on the floor together. Their basketball IQS are so high, the game seems simple when they start getting it going.

Agreed. Klynyk is getting there, but he's certainly not a polished product--nor  should anyone really expect him to be at this point.

LOL. Really though! He did miss the second one on purpose though, at least I think he did just so they couldn't score again... 0.0

I guess I have to eat some crow in regards to Courtney Lee.  in the beginning of the season I stated that one good game he had was probably all we would hear from him all year. one of the announcers said, he had got together with somebody on the off season to try and figure out what he was doing wrong.  I guess they found out what it was because his shooting has really improved.
Jordan Crawford....we should name this guy the "Enigma".  dude is the most erratic player I've ever seen.  he has to learn that, on nights like this when he's off, he's more valuable as a facilitator then just jocking up shots and also has a bad habit sometimes of dribbling out the clock and wasting too much time setting up a shot. I know it's pretty when those threes drop but he just needs to learn a little more discipline.
Hey, put it in the win column although that 3rd quarter almost killed us!!!  Wolves in town next, another tough one!!!
