Boston vs. NY - GM 2

[NewJerSpur]

What time is it?!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Got a bill on Boston (-6.5)

[LnGrrrR]

Celtics need to win this by 5+ to get some good momentum for the road.

[NewJerSpur]

Without Billups, looks like a good bet.

[Killakobe81]

LOL

Albert: Rondo is only a 57% FT shooter how can someone so good shoot that bad at the line? Kid has finger rolls etc but cant hit FTs?!

[Killakobe81]

Also LOL Lakers trading toney douglass while we call up trey johnson from the D-League ...

[NewJerSpur]

Boston still has something NY doesn't: Ray Allen in the 4th.

[Killakobe81]

WTF ... happned to Landry he was a stud early and looks AWFUL right now ...

[NewJerSpur]

Also LOL Lakers trading toney douglass while we call up trey johnson from the D-League ...

:lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

Celtics need to win this by 7+ to get some good momentum for the road.

fify:toast

[ogait]

wtf NY the plan is to let rondo shoot jumpers not uncontested layups.

[Killakobe81]

LOL Rondo got happy he still cant hit that but on a break he is amazing ...

[NewJerSpur]

WTF ... happned to Landry he was a stud early and looks AWFUL right now ...

Despite their slump right before the trade, the team operated better with Felton at the point.

[Killakobe81]

Ray's jumper is sooo pure.

[Killakobe81]

Dude cant shoot but they letting rondo get to the rack with impunity ...

[ogait]

Lol at Tony Douglas defending Rondo side step

[DeadlyDynasty]

wtf NY the plan is to let rondo shoot jumpers not uncontested layups.

There D is so shitty...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Rondo with 2 more layups

[Killakobe81]

Pierce with a SICK block ...

[Killakobe81]

LOL rondo getting mad at the shit the celts do ...

[NewJerSpur]

Paul Pierce telling Douglas: "Not in my house" [minus finger wag]

[NewJerSpur]

Nice pass by O'Neal....Celts ball movement is beautiful to watch.

[Killakobe81]

LOL Rondo doing what the Knicks try to do ...nice cherrypick!!

[Killakobe81]

Well this game is over. Glad to see Boston getting mojo back they wil need vs. Heat ...

[LnGrrrR]

:lol Rondo's already taken 7 shots. Crazy game already.

[Andrew Bynum]

Rondo lay up line. How exciting.

[NewJerSpur]

Rondo vs. the Knicks.

[DeadlyDynasty]

The Knicks are inept without Billups...turnover after turnover

[Greg Oden]

If only Rondo could shoot.

[LnGrrrR]

What's the record for most layups made without taking a jumper? :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

rofl letting Rondo drop 14 on you in one quarter.....

[NewJerSpur]

Barely noticed Melo was still out there....quiet to start.

[DeadlyDynasty]

If you keep Rondo in front of you he can't score...this should be a pretty basic concept to grasp at the NBA level.

[NewJerSpur]

LOL, KG playing "peacemaker", TWICE.

[ogait]

KG outplaying Amare = no chance for NY

[Isitjustme?]

Celtics are a dangerous team when Rondo is this good. A 2nd round KO at best when he struggles.

[LakerHater]

suprised Glenn didnt flop around then!

[NewJerSpur]

Rondo makes going 1-on-5 look easy, Melo makes going 1-on-5 look difficult.

[LnGrrrR]

If you keep Rondo in front of you he can't score...this should be a pretty basic concept to grasp at the NBA level.

It's easier for the Lakers, who have multiple 7 footers who can throw their arms up like some human forest. :lol

That always rattles Rondo.

[LnGrrrR]

Yay Krstic and Green! Time for us to suck.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Petros and Money were covering for Jim Rome today and they spent an entire segment analyzing that dude's dark looking nipples in the T-Mobile commercial. They were right, dude looks like he's lactating

[NewJerSpur]

Good call.

[DeadlyDynasty]

This shit line-up is doing severe damage to my bet :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Carter & Rondo, two of the worst jumpshots in the league on display.

[LnGrrrR]

This lineup sucks. I don't trust Green/Krstic on offense or defense.

[NewJerSpur]

Did he call bank?

[InRareForm]

Green/Krstic looks like Bonner/Blairish like

[NewJerSpur]

West got hammered.

[LnGrrrR]

Green/Krstic looks like Bonner/Blairish like

Good thing we traded away Perk/Nate for them. Blah. Green better step up his game defensively next round.

[DeadlyDynasty]

West got hammered.

Yup

[NewJerSpur]

Good thing we traded away Perk/Nate for them. Blah. Green better step up his game defensively next round.

Boston/Orlando=The last Eastern Conference hope to knock off "The King" and his merry group of bandits.

[LnGrrrR]

I mean, if we're going to trade Perk and Nate, can't we at least get one serviceable player in the trade? Either a center who doesn't look like a homeless person, or a SF/PF that can play D at either of those positions?

[NewJerSpur]

D'Antoni, talking about energy on the DEfensive end?

[Shane27]

score?

[NewJerSpur]

24-21, Boston.

[ogait]

I mean, if we're going to trade Perk and Nate, can't we at least get one serviceable player in the trade? Either a center who doesn't look like a homeless person, or a SF/PF that can play D at either of those positions?

True. I liked how analysts said the team that gets the best player (Green) always wins the trade.

[NewJerSpur]

Btw, Orlando is playing Atlanta over on NBA TV.

[NewJerSpur]

Don't let Williams get started, that's his sweetspot.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Green playing like Kwame in the post...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Boston has no bench whatsoever...

[InRareForm]

Pierce or Amare haven't scored?

[NewJerSpur]

Questionable call.

[LnGrrrR]

True. I liked how analysts said the team that gets the best player (Green) always wins the trade.

Has Green always sucked this bad? I mean, he's a complete waste on both ends of the floor right now.

It's a good thing that we traded away our two young bigs for a 2nd rnd pick. Size is useless in today's game!

Honestly, C's management said they got Green to spell Pierce on defense. Does anyone think he's capable of guarding the other team's SF/PF for any length of time?

[LnGrrrR]

Boston has no bench whatsoever...

We traded it away.

[NewJerSpur]

Troy Murphy time?

[DJ Mbenga]

oneal is shooting 100% this playoffs. last year he shot 12%

[LakerHater]

melo... WOW!

[InTheCrust]

melo is puttin work in that boston cavity

[NewJerSpur]

Rondo torching the Knicks transition defense.

[LnGrrrR]

Celtics really need to stop all these extra chance, offensive rebounds from the Knicks. 8 already.

[LakerHater]

Stupid mistake!

[NewJerSpur]

Douglas thought he could catch Rondo knapping while calling out the play but couldn't pull up when Rondo caught on to him.

[LakerHater]

& his mistake hurts the Knicks!

[DJ Mbenga]

14 free points to rondo. the knicks should be up double digits. looks like fields hit the rookie wall hard. he hasnt done anything in months.

[DeadlyDynasty]

This game is brutal to watch, despite how close it is...just horrible offense on both sides

[NewJerSpur]

14 free points to rondo. the knicks should be up double digits. looks like fields hit the rookie wall hard. he hasnt done anything in months.

Felton put his teammates in great position to either score off of assists or get points from the weakside during his short time in NY....the PnR combo of he and Amare was nearly impossible to guard at times.

[InTheCrust]

:lol at Steve Kerr and Stoudemire reliving their traumatic 08 experience.

[DeadlyDynasty]

RMJ sighting!

[LakerHater]

RMJ sighting!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

damn...Amare back spasms, questionable

[NewJerSpur]

Good call.

[LakerHater]

Yup, good call!

[LakerHater]

Lets see if these guys can step it up while STAT is in the Lockers!

[NewJerSpur]

LOL, Rondo was able to let the ball roll WAAAAY passed halfcourt....the NBA today is funny.

[LnGrrrR]

Knicks have 12 more rebounds, and 8 more offensive rebounds. Good thing they're only shooting 33%.

[LnGrrrR]

What a stupid way to end the half.

[NewJerSpur]

That wasn't a good play by Rondo....J.R. Smith-like.

[DJ Mbenga]

unless amare returns melo has an nbdl team around him

[DeadlyDynasty]

Davis is such a fatshit tard...If they can't cover against the Knicks w/o Billups and Stat...:bang

[LnGrrrR]

Kstic's statline on ESPN looks hilarious.... 0 mins, 0 pts, 0 reb, 0 assists.... -1 plus/minus ratio. :lol

[DPG21920]

How is Boston not killing this team?

[DeadlyDynasty]

How is Boston not killing this team?

They can't rebound and they have no bench. Pierce is playing like dogshit again too

[NewJerSpur]

Kstic's statline on ESPN looks hilarious.... 0 mins, 0 pts, 0 reb, 0 assists.... -1 plus/minus ratio. :lol

Snake lying in the weeds. :lol

[LnGrrrR]

How is Boston not killing this team?

Green sucks, Pierce has missed a few, and Knicks are cleaning up on the offensive glass.

[DPG21920]

It was rhetorical.

[LnGrrrR]

It was rhetorical.

I hate you.

[LnGrrrR]

At least we're not doing as poorly as the Master of Panic's evil minions.

[DPG21920]

What's wrong with Amare?

[Reck]

LOL everybody getting injured during these playoffs games.

[NewJerSpur]

What's wrong with Amare?

Back spasms.

[DPG21920]

It was rhetorical.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Don't like the new schtick, tbh

[DPG21920]

What shtick.

[NewJerSpur]

it was rhetorical.

nonsense!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Fields trying to create his own offense=loss.

[DJ Mbenga]

roger mason jr is probably better than landry fields right now

[DPG21920]

lol.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Finally Pierce!

[NewJerSpur]

Melo against the world.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Nice...time to blow this D-League team out

[John Petrucci]

Lots of terribly timed injuries to start this postseason. Affecting several series negatively... disappointing.

[LnGrrrR]

If Pierce gets rolling, this game is over.

[LakerHater]

3 @ the buzzer brings it to 2!

[LakerHater]

& 1 melo!!

[NewJerSpur]

Not William's shot, Knicks players playing outside of themselves.

[NewJerSpur]

Yet and still, NY is hanging tough like a mother.

[LakerHater]

3 Counts!!

[LakerHater]

Ray is jus a Pussy!!!


& whats the T for??

[Giuseppe]

Amare, steppin' out the side door.

The chickenshit.

[LnGrrrR]

I said Pierce, not Melo, damn it!

[DeadlyDynasty]

goddamnit boston

[LnGrrrR]

Knicks: 15 offensive rebounds, 37 total
Celtics: 4 offensive rebounds, 24 total

Stop letting them get second-chance points! Grrrr.

[NewJerSpur]

Big Shot Tony Douglas going to work.

[John Petrucci]

Webber one night, then Kerr the next. Guys who will call officials/players out on their BS. Refreshing.

[LnGrrrR]

Carmelo Anthony: 13 rebounds.

Wtf? Did Carmelo grow a few inches last night? :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Why is Melo not posting Allen up?

[DJ Mbenga]

gotta give the knicks props. they sholdnt even be in this game especially with allen shooting 100% from 3

[DeadlyDynasty]

If they can't guard Toney Douglas and these scrubs I can only imagine what Wade and Bron are gonna do to them...

[LnGrrrR]

Ray Allen on point tonight.

[DPG21920]

Knicks: 15 offensive rebounds, 37 total
Celtics: 4 offensive rebounds, 24 total

Stop letting them get second-chance points! Grrrr.

Did you really just type "Grrrr"? lol

[Reck]

Celtics say thank you for participating Knicks.

[LnGrrrR]

Did you really just type "Grrrr"? lol

I'm not answering your rhetorical questions. :lol

[DPG21920]

That was a real one. I only had two rhetorical questions today.

[LnGrrrR]

That was a real one. I only had two rhetorical questions today.

Then the answer is yes.

Yes I did.

[lefty]

Did you really just type "Grrrr"? lol

LnGrrr strikes me as someone who is constantly mad.

[LnGrrrR]

LnGrrr strikes me as someone who is constantly mad.

While watching sports? Usually. :lol

[LakerHater]

Amare done!

[lefty]

While watching sports? Usually. :lol

IDK
It's the screenname combined with that avatar

[LakerHater]

RMJ with an AirBall!!:lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, Mase is rusty like a mug.

[DeadlyDynasty]

The Truth.

[NewJerSpur]

Injured Knicks>healthy, young Sixers.....Heat better watch out.

[LakerHater]

Good call, stupid foul!

[LnGrrrR]

16 rebounds in 3 quarters for Carmelo... are you kidding me?

[LnGrrrR]

Good call, stupid foul!

Jeff Green realized he was actually being effective there, and had to sabotage it quickly.

That's TWO stupid fouls at the end of quarters now.

[DeadlyDynasty]

74-67 after 3...there's my cover. Win the 4th quarter please, C's

[DJ Mbenga]

melo cant play the whole game. once he rests. its a done deal.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Jeff Green realized he was actually being effective there, and had to sabotage it quickly.

That's TWO stupid fouls at the end of quarters now.

There will not be a 3rd chance...Doc was livid there...Green will not see the last 8 minutes of the 4th

[HarlemHeat37]

Injured Knicks>healthy, young Sixers.....Heat better watch out.

Sixers are easily better than the Knicks and Pacers, at least IMO..they would have finished with a much higher seed, had it not been for their poor start..

[NewJerSpur]

Sixers are easily better than the Knicks and Pacers, at least IMO..they would have finished with a much higher seed, had it not been for their poor start..

With their shooting percentage last night (especially the missed layups) and the way they folded against the Knicks at home to end the season forcing them to play Miami in the 1st, I'd put them a notch below. They're building though.

[Isitjustme?]

Anthony will be a folk hero in NY if he can lead the Knicks to a win here.

[Reck]

Melo going HAM on these Celts.

[NewJerSpur]

Celtics need Ray Ray back on the floor.

[DPG21920]

Melo balling, but his style of play won't last.

[LakerHater]

Wow

[LakerHater]

HOLY CRAP...... C'mon!!

[Reck]

Knicks get a break.

[NewJerSpur]

What a game.

[DPG21920]

Big Balls Mason in his first year with SA would have pulled up and nailed that 3 ball.

[MannyIsGod]

Melo putting on a show.

[DPG21920]

It's really not that good of a game IMO. It's sloppy and low level basketball. Energy is good and so is the drama, but the quality is lacking.

[MannyIsGod]

Big Balls Mason in his first year with SA would have pulled up and nailed that 3 ball.

I was shocked to see that he didn't pull the trigger.

[DPG21920]

I want to see Melo grab 20 boards though. That is sick.

[NewJerSpur]

It's really not that good of a game IMO. It's sloppy and low level basketball. Energy is good and so is the drama, but the quality is lacking.

Agreed on the quality of play, but the action is GRRRRRREAT!!!!

[picc84]

If Boston gets past this round, they are getting smoked by Miami.

Weird to think that with Billups and Amare healthy and no screwjob at the end of the last game, NY could actually be working on 2-0.

[LnGrrrR]

There will not be a 3rd chance...Doc was livid there...Green will not see the last 8 minutes of the 4th

Thank goodness. Doc should've just slapped him in the face.

[MannyIsGod]

Melo playing pretty much out of his mind right now. Really nice to watch.

[MannyIsGod]

Thank goodness. Doc should've just slapped him in the face.

That trade is just LOL man.

[LnGrrrR]

I want to see Melo grab 20 boards though. That is sick.

Melo is a man possessed tonight. He's damn near outrebounded our entire team.

[LakerHater]

Melo is on FIRE!

[NewJerSpur]

Nice play by Rondo.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Goddamnit this is pathetic...how the fuck do you not cover the spread against a one-man team?

[Isitjustme?]

Fucking linkmooch is screwing the pooch right now. Is there another feed anywhere?

[NewJerSpur]

Big Shot TD

[NewJerSpur]

Rmj sighting!!

[Bito Corleone]

lol Mason

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit Mason hit a 3.

[Reck]

It's really not that good of a game IMO. It's sloppy and low level basketball. Energy is good and so is the drama, but the quality is lacking.

Wanna try that again. :hat

[LnGrrrR]

Anthony will be a folk hero in NY if he can lead the Knicks to a win here.

I'm having flashbacks of Dwyane Wade in Game 4 last year against the Heat.

[DeadlyDynasty]

fml

[Isitjustme?]

adthe has nothing either.

[lefty]

LOL @ those making fun of RMJ

That guy has balls, no matter what

[Isitjustme?]

I'm having flashbacks of Dwyane Wade in Game 4 last year against the Heat.

Bernard King type ownage going on here. If anyone is old enough to remember that or saw it on ESPN Classic/NBA TV Hardwood Classsics.

[picc84]

Melo is playing like a superstar. Not only is he scoring at will but he's making plays for the rest of the Knicks too. How often do you see him playmaking? Add in the boards and this is the best playoff game he's ever had, by far.

[LakerHater]

adthe has nothing either.
what Im usin:

http://extremegoal.weebly.com/

[DPG21920]

Wanna try that again. :hat

No.

[LnGrrrR]

Carmelo is leading his team in minutes played, pts, asts, rebs, and blks.

[Bito Corleone]

LOL @ those making fun of RMJ

That guy has balls, no matter what
Those balls aren't all that great to have when you play like he did last year, or most of this year for that matter. 1 shot doesn't change 2 years of shit basketball

[NewJerSpur]

Rondo vs. Melo

[HarlemHeat37]

Great and unexpected duel, tbh..

Carmelo should have the ball on every possession, logically..stupid shot by Douglas..

[DPG21920]

No Amare or Billups. Rondo has a career playoff high in points. Only up two. wow

[LnGrrrR]

No Amare or Billups. Rondo has a career playoff high in points. Only up two. wow

Knicks outrebounding Celtics by 15. Not too surprising.

[NewJerSpur]

Celtics missing point blank layups.

[HarlemHeat37]

No Amare or Billups. Rondo has a career playoff high in points. Only up two. wow

The East is already decided, would you agree?..straight answer, please, don't mindfuck me with a shtick:lol..

[DPG21920]

No worse than the Spurs shooting 45 ft's and losing at home.

[DPG21920]

The East is already decided, would you agree?..

No. But MIA looks like they will get out, which I picked already. But I don't think that this first round tells us anything yet. Bulls/Celts are better than they have showed.

[Bito Corleone]

Filthy shot by Melo

[picc84]

Fuck yeah.

[LakerHater]

Melo!!

[NewJerSpur]

Melo going off.

[TE]

Damn, Carmelo is possessed out there.

[HarlemHeat37]

One of the best shots I've seen in a while, eww..

This would be a monster W for the Knicks, hopefully they don't choke again, like last game..need the Celtics to play a long series, just like Chicago should be doing(fucking Pacers)..

[DPG21920]

Melo is so so wet.

[siraulo23]

holy smokes

melo

[Isitjustme?]

Anthony shitting on all those advanced stat guys who bashed him before and after the trade.

[LnGrrrR]

Holy shite. I can't hate on the Knicks if they win this one. Carmelo is using the full-fledged "God Mode" cheat today.

[siraulo23]

6 point swing there, pierce three...

[picc84]

NY better close this out. They'll be playing 1 on 8 the rest of the game, literally.

[lurker]

Did Kerr say "OH GOD" when Carmelo hit that shot? :lol

[NewJerSpur]

No worse than the Spurs shooting 45 ft's and losing at home.

Context?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Spurs shot 47 FT's at home to be exact.

[DPG21920]

Context?

When I said "No Amare/Billups, Rondo with a playoff career high, tie game...wow"

[LnGrrrR]

I will, however, continue to hate on "Have-to-foul-cause-I-can't-defend-for-shit" Green and "I-look-like-a-hobo" Krstic.

[Red Hawk #21]

Melo comes up clutch, do your thing Mi Boricua!

[lefty]

Those balls aren't all that great to have when you play like he did last year, or most of this year for that matter. 1 shot doesn't change 2 years of shit basketball

Fucking Pop destroyed him

He was doing fine as a SG

[Killakobe81]

That is why you need a Melo, Kobe or Rose. Sure they take bad shots at times, yes they are so called chuckers. But when they get hot they aint shit you can do about it.

[NewJerSpur]

When I said "No Amare/Billups, Rondo with a playoff career high, tie game...wow"

It was rhetorical....Gotcha!!! Alright I didn't, but i'm getting warmed up.

[Killakobe81]

Rondo having a great game with only 1 jumper but to his credit he only forced a few jumpers he has taken high % shots all night.

[DPG21920]

lol

[davethedope]

let the rigging portion of the game begin

[DPG21920]

That is why you need a Melo, Kobe or Rose. Sure they take bad shots at times, yes they are so called chuckers. But when they get hot they aint shit you can do about it.

Except that they don't win titles unless you give them a stacked team with elite big men.

[NewJerSpur]

Watch out for Ray Ray.

[LnGrrrR]

Bill Walker should not be taking shots at this stage of the game.

[NewJerSpur]

Good transition defense by the Knicks.

[LakerHater]

Knicks givin Boston chances!

[InRareForm]

good D by bos

[HarlemHeat37]

Knicks don't know how to cut to the basket, they're just sitting around the 3-point line:lol..they're doubling Anthony and there's so much space to make a move, yet none of the other guys are even thinking about going towards the net..

[Red Hawk #21]

Let's see if the Knicks can come up clutch...

[LnGrrrR]

This series is great already, even if the play has been sloppy.

[MannyIsGod]

lmao thats the mason I know.

[Budkin]

Knicks can't finish. Obviously Boston is winning this.

[Reck]

LOL @ those making fun of RMJ

That guy has balls, no matter what

LOL no.

[picc84]

It doesn't matter if Melo is getting tripled, give him the ball.

[LnGrrrR]

Knicks don't know how to cut to the basket, they're just sitting around the 3-point line:lol..they're doubling Anthony and there's so much space to make a move, yet none of the other guys are even thinking about going towards the net..

I half expect Melo to sprout angel wings and fly to the basket from behind the arc for a 3pt dunk.

[NewJerSpur]

lmao thats the mason I know.

Clock was running down and everyone else was on the other side of the floor, had to put up the off-balance shot.

[Budkin]

I half expect Melo to sprout angel wings and fly to the basket from behind the arc for a 3pt dunk.

:lol

[lefty]

OK

Mason sucks :lmao

[Bito Corleone]

LOL @ those making fun of RMJ

That guy has balls, no matter what
Nice balls on the blown layup...

[DPG21920]

Mason misses a layup.

[siraulo23]

ray allen 3 ftw again? lol

[Red Hawk #21]

lol Jeffries coming up clutch

[Reck]

Mason is just shocked.

He hasn't seen a Basketball in years.

[TE]

jeffries?

[LnGrrrR]

Yet another offensive rebound given up. God damn it. Mother fucker.

[MannyIsGod]

MONEY MASE! Thanks NYK for taking him.

[DPG21920]

KG elbow jumper.

[lefty]

But to be fair, his last 2 missed shots ked to 2 key offensive rebounds


:D

[NewJerSpur]

Mason got the board that kept that play alive, didn't give up on the play......haters.

[HarlemHeat37]

Finally, somebody cuts to the basket..

They're sending one of the hardest double teams you'll see against a player, and they're doing it at the 3-point line, not even waiting for him to make a move, not even waiting to trap him..

If a team is playing a guy like that, every other player on the team should have plenty of opportunity to get open by slashing to the basket..

[LnGrrrR]

I'm calling the iso for PP...
