they like to drag out the playoffs as much as possible so they can put more games on during their prime slots (especially the 'desirable series').
Most of the guys they played were young and healthy. I have no problem with sticking them with big minutes for a game or 2. That will ensure the young uns and rooks are ready for the playoffs. They one thing that Woodson can be criticized for is not giving them a lot of playing time throughout the year. I like what they did. Some of our guys badly needed the rest.
Defense needs work. We are letting the Celtics push thep ace and score more points than they should be. We held them to 90 in our 3 wins yet the Celtics are looking to push past 50 in the 1st half
Avery Bradley can cut on offense. Not sure if he can do anything else on offense. Offense taking less 3s than usual. That's because they aren't doubling Melo. Time to adjust and send Melo and Ray on pick and rolls like crazy getting easier passes and looks
Yeah Melo keep on drving. Knicks have turned the ball over too much and let the Celtics get whatever they want offensively because of it. Also Jeff Green is annoying. Looks like good Green showed up
Knicks fell into the trap of wathcing Melo and standing around because Boston disrupted their initial play. Tighten up the D, let Felton/Chandler run some more pick and roll and work off of that. Seems to be the best defense on Melo is throwing multiple defenders on him, Green, Pierce and Bass. When you think you have one guy who can guard Melo, (George, Battier, Iggy, Sefolosha) that's when he just goes off. Also if they turn the ball over less, they get set up better on D. And, yeah more 3 pointers would be nice. It's what got us here
all I saw late in the second was Carmelo dribbling, dribbling, dribbling, and then either turning it over or shooting a bad shot.
So much for Tyson Chandler feeling great. He clearly looks hurt. Can't jump and gets no lift. Also can't roll to the hoop with speed, something is bothering him. KMART is very important now
Down by 3 heading into the 4th. Gotta stay strong and take this. Pierce got a nie roll and bounce on a 3 that's the difference right now. If Green got that buzzer beater 3 to bounce and fall in, my TV would be broken right now
Who's going to get a tech for yalling at the ref first, Doc or Woodson? Both are furious at them right now. No conssitency from the calls and they're being the stars of the game.
Time for me to get a second TV. My 6.5 year olds took over the TV and watching Spongebob. I will follow it from here unless someone can suggest a decent Knick board
I am not that into Basketball myself. I watch Knicks and Nets just because they are New York teams. I don't even watch regular season games for any sports except NFL. I am just a play off guy and unfortunately sometimes I lose TV battle.
