Good evening, friends. It's the Knicks and the Celtics tonight at Madison Square Garden. Who knows what sorta shit they'll pull to finish what's been an impressive week for Knick opponents. The C's are more down with teamwork, defense, and the like than individual accolades, perhaps they'll shut the Knicks out or something. Boston lost a tight one in overtime last night to the Lakers, and I (and the Celtics fans I've spoken to) would expect a testy Celtic team rather than a tired one this evening. Kevin Garnett fouled out and was forced to sit through the late fourth and overtime, which is a little bit like caging a shark when there's blood in the water. He'll have the last meeting between these two teams- when Wilson Chandler took it to him on both ends- in mind as well, so expect KG to spearhead a fierce Boston effort tonight. With Pierce and Allen in tow, there's a good chance that Garnett could lead his team to a blowout win. Maybe, though, New York can catch the karma train after some bad breaks against the Cavs and Lakers. It all goes down at 7:30 tonight. Those of you watching best stick around for comments, hooplah, and pageantry throughout the game. For a glimpse into the enemy ranks, stop by Celtics Blog. Go Knicks.

who knew?
the nba took away lebron’s 9th rebound from the other night, giving him a pedestrian 52, 11, and 9. that ain’t shit. pretty ballsy of the L to do that to their most marketable player. i like it.

When Q hits his first shot he feels the need to chuck up any old shot right after that
he really needs to stop that…
true
mike should sit him 30 seconds into the game

indeed
go up strong, kid.
good to see duhon being aggressive though!
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
your analysis is spot on about Duhon, by the way
he’s a great player when he is aggresive and creates his own shots.
glad someone agrees
i just think he underestimates his own abilities. he turns down a lot of makeable shots, and it hurts everybody.
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
I think the problem is that
it’s hard to go from barely playing even garbage minutes to being the starting point guard that plays 37 minutes a game. It’s probably rough to get used to.

He sounded like a great idea at the time...
but he tried, so I can’t hate him. Plus he should’ve gotten some burn over Starks in Game 7 in 1994. He could’ve done better than 2-18… damnit Starks, why did you lose your shot then?!
it's funny how
people always bring up Ewing’s playoff failures yet Starks sometimes gets a free pass for that.

I love Starks for death
and his number 3 should be up there, but that was his fault. That and his non-game winner in game six.
i love both of them
it’s a shame they couldn’t squeeze a ring out of that run.

we got rid of mardy collins.
i’d cut off a toe to not have mardy collins on my professional basketball team.
Poor Mardy
it’s not his fault basketball wasn’t the sport for him… OK, maybe it is. Seriously, what the hell was up with picking him? he wasn’t even impressive in Temple.

nice alternative to black athletes with irish names

Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
by the way
i’ve been meaning to write something about this for a while: mardy collins has been absolutely wet on the clippers. he’s shooting like 45 percent. i watched one or two clippers games earlier in the year, and he actually waits for kickouts in the corner, and hits them. it’s really, really, really, really fucking weird.
that makes me really uncomfortable

That time when we couldn't find a shot in the final seconds against I think Houston?

pretty tame
but the knicks are playing good d and hanging around nicely. if the shooting picks up they could have a chance in this one.

Shooting
It seemed like they missed every shot in the beginning of the quarter.

I only throw on ESPN when there is Baseball, Basketball or Champions League Soccer on.
Sportscenter can lick my balls. If there is a super stellar highlight it usually ends up on youtube anyway.

Sportscenter is where most of the senseless bashing happens.
Bashing the Knicks and making fun of the Yankees because they spend money was funny in 05. It gets old after awhile.
