Knicks (18-24) at Celtics (26-15) Game #42 1/17/17

Rozier can't play point by himself. Combine him with Gerald Green and Jaylen Brown and the collective basketball I.Q. is probably as low as this team can manage.

When Bradley doesn't play, Brad's been good about making sure Smart or Isaiah are on the floor. Until tonight.

Exactly this!

Two of those guys just don't have much NBA mileage. You have to deal with the bumps when bringing them along.

That's a pretty lousy score to come home to.  63 points in the half for a depleted Knicks team?  Ugh.

I'm about ready for Demetrius Jackson to be given Rozier's minutes.  In the meanwhile, I don't expect Rozier out there without some adults in the second half.

I'd like to see it. Let's see what we got.

CBS left Rozier in WAY WAY too....long .....iced the Celtics ......

Smart should have been in there running the show .

This is CBS fault

Gerald Green bricking shots and the Horford going 1-9 or whatever is not to blame?

There's a lot of blame to go around. Smart is not playing that well either on offense.

Rozier ....hogged the ball, took way too many shots , passed up passing to open man......he gets the blame ....end of story.

he has 2 assists and took a couple threes when the ball found him. The entire second unit was out of synch. Gerald and Brown were running isolation plays also.

Rozier is a ball stopper Jaylen is not.

[TrueFan]

IT is going to hit his average in the third.

Live by 3, die by 3.

You'd think, but Brad tends to surprise us lately with these types of decisions.

[TrueFan]

We need 50 from IT

[max215]

He's going to have to go for 50 again.

I'm not quite sure why you're complaining (or sounding pessimistic at a minimum) about recent coaching decisions when we've won 13 out of 16.

[SHAQATTACK]

Smart play Amir ....

[jpotter33]

It seriously is crazy how great IT's offense is right now. If he was even average defensively, I think he'd be a legit MVP contender this year. What he is doing scoring the ball right now is just insane, especially now that his shot is on.

[Chief]

Great decision by Amir. Draw them close then kick it to the corner.

agreed. This is one game and it's far from over. Brad has been doing a nice job. The team is far better today then when the season started.
