Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Knicks got outcoached. And the Refgave the C's some home cooking.
That offensive foul on Melo was bull. And to call a foul on that late Ray layup that turned I to a 3 point play is just inconsistent by the refs.

Complaining about calls isn't going to do anything. Just sayin'.

How bout the Delonte West foul?

Ill agree that the Melo Offensive foul was terrible, but that a wash.

The Knicks played very well and the defense was scrappy.

That offensive foul on Melo was total garbage. Let the players decide the damn game !!

I'm sorry but that foul at that time was a game changer. Totally changed the game and was some weak officiating. Knicks looked pissed though, this game might be a good thing. Might motivate the Knicks to take games out of the refs hands and take care of business decisively.

Look guys the refs did not lose that game. Stop complaining about it and don't even bring that stuff up. You could nic-pic at every single call last night.

The knicks offense went to ****. And so did the whole game once they couldn't make a shot. They had the lead. And couldn't make One Stop. That's what game comes down too.

Edit: That's what all these weekends games came down to DEFENSE.

Edit 2: That's how all the games of this series have been. The knicks are up all game lose lead (and lose the game). Because they simply can't make a stop.

Last night's game will either build character, turning it into a long hard fought series. Or the Knicks cannot recover & the series is over in 5. Let's see if Pringles makes the adjustments needed because he definitely didn't make them in the final minute of last night's game.

Especially on that last Celtics Inbound play.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Yeah, that Melo foul was a bad call but to say one Call cost you the game is ridiculous. The Reason you lost the game is because you got outscored 48-34 in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

The unsung Hero for the Celtics gotta be Jermaine O' Neal who woulda thought he'd score 12 Points and have 4 Blocks to go along with that.

Should be a great game 2.

^^ I was just about to say that ^^

For all the **** people give him. He really came out to play yesterday. Especially on defense.

I don't think the Knicks have the right coaching/defensive fundamentals.

They Knicks came out hot playing with a lot of enegry. The Celtics were missing shots. They turned up the defense. And the Knicks had an answer for the first punch. But the second punch Ray Allen 3 point put them away. Unless something big happens. I see this going 4-5 games. Especially with Billups being out. I think he is done for the series (unless there is a game 7).

I think the Knicks will be fine, mentally. Even though they tailed off in the second half, the game was still winnable at the end. I just hope Chauncey will be OK.

And the non-call when Billups got hammered. That was the worst.
