bull**** call

final play will be a clearout for pierce and an elbow jumper

ray allen is insane

sweet baby ray ray!!!!!!!!

Good finish. Hated the call on Anthony but Allen drilled it.

those refs literally cost the knicks the game

bull****

no doubt a tough call on melo

pierce is a crafty one

man i didn't need that good a game in game freaking 1

Wow, Jesus Shuttleworth comes through after the B.S. call on Carmello.

Then Carmello panic shot wasn't very good.

tough call but the knicks still had a shot at the end. and there was no guarantee they score on that possession anyway

refs didn't decide the game

moving screen on Garnett to free up Ray Ray as well.

Yeah, refs had nothing to do with the final few possessions.

the one thing we agree on is the knicks had a chance to tie or win at the end and they squandered it.

you can call a moving screen on almost every play if you want to peterman

it's like holding in the NFL

garnett tripped douglas, which is how allen was open for three all of a sudden

yup, but you usually see the call made when a guy turns his body at least 90' in the act, as well as sticks his leg out....kinda like when a LT slings a rush LB to the ground because he knows he's beat...those holds get the flags.

Again, Ray Ray stepped up huge, the Knicks had a chance at the end, but I find it hilarious you say the refs didn't decide the game. They took the ball out of the Knicks hands, and didn't make the blatant call that freed up the Celtics go ahead bucket.

i'll have to see a replay to confirm, but regardless it was a great game.

knicks will get those calls when the series shifts to NY. it will all even out

Peterman, you need to watch the game again. There were quite a few plays the Nicks could have been called for fouls. Amare clears out every time he goes in the paint. There were no calls when Boston drove the ball into the lane the entire game. Just let it go... Boston is just a good team.

bottom line is the knicks had 8 seconds to tie or win the game and they didn't get it done

No billups in game 2 means Rondo gets to get out in transition. He's got 12 pts in the first 7.5 mins

C's gotta take advantage of this break and put this game away early

well they aren't down 12, but all in all still another pretty pathetic first half effort on the C's part

they should be up double digits on the billups-less knicks.

melo is playing well and jeffries and williams came off the bench to help NY's cause

7 pt lead entering the 4th but it should be much more with amare now being out for the game and playing only 16 mins

melo having a nice night with 30 and 16 boards. could easily end up with a 40/20 night

Going to have to be the Melo show with the Knicks missing 2 of their 3 best players. Luckily for the Knicks that's apparently the only situation he's any good.

These fouls they are calling are ridiculous.

Seriously. Let them play the game. It's just so inconsistent. Bodies flying everywhere on one end with no whistle and a tripping call on next to nothing at the other end. And then back at the Celtics end Delonte West gets called for next to nothing (honestly I thought Melo pushed off). So stupid.

Melo is taking this personally. Wow.

Great stretch of basketball right there. Coincidentally no whistles.

C's should be ashamed of this effort

Now it's looking like anything goes.

Carmelo.

unreal, C's let them hang around too long, now they will lose this game

Of all the guys to score.

Great bucket by KG on pretty good defense.

KG!!! huge stop

W.T.F. was NY doing there? Why not CHASE HIM DOWN and foul immediately? SO STUPID.

should not have been nearly that close. If they play that poorly in NY, they'll be tied at 2 when they get back to boston
