http://www.postingandtoasting.com/2...odson-will-change-his-starting-lineup-tonight Joey Crawford is reffing tonight..... If Thomas is starting it might be to clothesline KG and then get ejected. Some 90s basketball
Has never been confirmed. Incarceratedbob is the only person who said that was the phrase. An unnamed NBA player said "hell no" when asked if that's what KG said so who knows. I just wish if the Knicks win, Melo in the post game makes a cereal reference somehow. "You know Craig I had my lucky charms tonight and the shots kept on falling"
Shump got two fouls with 7 minutes left in the first. Tyson now has 2 with 3 minutes left in the first. Other guys are gonna have to step up and play good defense. Besides those two, we have to really on White, Prigs, Melo, Amare, and uhhh Kidd, Copeland, Novak, Smith to play defense for a while in the 1st half
Also Jr Smith is off this game offensively it looks like. Melo looks eh, not on fire. Kidd made a 3, missed a 3. White made a long two. IDK where our offense is going to come from. Amare I guess...
Also, we are posting Amare up a lot for some reason. Playing a ZONE with Amare in The Celts backups are confused by it. Honestly, nobody is making shots. Although Melo is looking to drive
Sullinger just bullies Amare offensively and gets a hook shot to fall, an ugly one for what it's worth.
Down after the first quarter 24-20. Not looking good guys. Melo is driving, not getting calls. Amare is well Amare. JR is chucking and missing. Prig hasn't take a shot. We need some Copeland to carry the offense to be honest.
So this zone defense with Amare, working well. Also helps Sullinger has no hops so Amare is having fun rejecting him. Amare dunked. Looked like 2005! Amare now has 2 fouls also. JR had a nice eurostep too on the fast break
pass goes to Priogioni behind the arc, he stands there with the ball, expecting someone to come out to cover (to contest a possible shot). Three seconds later, there is still no one within five feet of him. He shoots for three and makes it.
Bench unit + Shumpert doing work. Take a 31-25 lead. The Celtics are missing open shots, but the Knicks are closing out them too. Instead of standing and watching. The zone makes Amare look like a real defender
When Prig took an open jumper early in the season against Philly, Mike Woodson threw his hands into the sky. Prig is always looks to pass and an open jumper for Novak is better than an open jumper for him, but he's still an NBA player. He has been getting better at hitting open shots and not taking a couple dribbles in. Happy for him. He's fun to watch
Kurt Thomas is in the game! Prig, Thomas, Nova, Shump, and Smith. Weird lineup, Ah just remember Amare and Chandler have two fouls a piece. Thomas is the only other big man left.
HAHAHA announcer saying they are piping in noise into TD garden. Announcers also saying that the crowd was tame earlier saying if KG visited MSG, he would hear it
