at [glow=green,2,300]Boston Celtics (29-42) vs. New York Knicks (19-50) Wednesday, March 29, 2006 • 7:30 PM ET Game #72 • Road Game #36 Madison Square Garden • New York, NY. TV: FSNE, League Pass Radio: WRKO 680 AM [/glow] Keys to the game: Limit turnovers Play defense Take it inside instead of settling for outside jumpers Play Perk!!! Play 48 minutes instead of 44. Key Mismatch vs Wally is bigger and stronger but Francis is much quicker. I would say if Wally has trouble staying with Francis Doc needs to go with either Tony or Green. We should win this game but this team has a way of losing the games they should win. Hopefully they will come ready to play and get off to a quick start, play defense, and play 48 minutes to get the win.

Just came across a bit of drama that I didn't realize. If Marbury and the Knicks do indeed blame Wally for their downward spiral, there may be some looking for retribution tonight. Something to watch for.

Have to suffer through the NY feed tonight. YUK!!! I will miss all Tommy's comments on what thugs the Knicks are. Instead of talking basketball pregame they are showing a funny looking boxer who is going to box in MSG. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to be able to watch all the games but just wish I could get the Celtics feed every night. Rose, Curry, Rose, Marbury and francis starting for NY... gomes, Raef, PP, Wally, and West for the Celts.

Paul Pierce looks like he can score at will out there. The Knicks are playing like they don't care. This game is not interesting.
There are plenty of other games to watch tonight better than this one.
