AT [glow=green,2,300]When:April 9th Sun 4:00 PM Where:TD Banknorth Garden TV: FSNE, League Pass Team 4 Radio: WRKO [/glow] The last time these two teams played, the Celtics embarrassed New York. Being embarrassed is nothing new for the Knicks, but blowing someone out IS something new for the Celts. The worst thing that we can do is come out at home with an unwarranted amount of overconfidence… and then have to dig ourselves out of a double-digit deficit early in the game. I probably won't be around for the play by play this afternoon as we are having my son's 17th birthday party. I will definitely watch it but doing play by play with a houseful of company might be too much. I am pulling for the Celts to win this game and the next game to give us our 3 game win streak..... Go Celtics!!!!

Well, chased everyone away and will be able to do play by play for the second half. Score at the half is Celtics 52 Knicks 43... Just caught Dickerson saying that we will be without Delonte for the second half as he strained a calf muscle in the first half.

I also had a birthday in my family, my daughter's fifth, so I was unable to listen to or follow the game. Looks like a complete fourth quarter collapse. I couldn't believe the box score; we were outrebounded 43-29 (11-3 on offensive rebounds)! Perkins had a mediocre 5 boards in over 30 minutes, and Gomes only 3 in 26 minutes. On the other hand, Perkins did have 6 blocked shots, which implies effort on defense, and did as well as we could ever hope for on offense. For those who watched the game, what happened that our two young rebounders both failed to do the job off the glass tonight?
At least Allen continues to do well on offense, as does Gerald Green. But this is the second time in the last three games that we get POUNDED in the fourth quarter - AT HOME! So much for taking pride in protecting the home court. I wonder if, deep down inside, our players have mailed in the season.
