Yep, that aggressiveness and fire is lacking right now. Lead is down to 18 and it must not get any lower.

Knicks are getting a little smarter and taking advantage of matchups and working the lead down. Celtics have settled down and not giving up too much of their 20 point lead. Tony Allen has done a nice job with 6 points. I still think the Celtics need a knockout 14-4 run at some point.

Curry with a big block on Al. Telfair misses a jumper at the SC. Knicks rebound. Lee inside with a layup and foul. Lead is down to 14. Rondo comes in for Telfair who picked up his 3rd foul. Lee hits the FT and lead is down to 13. Knicks have scored 10 straight points. Once again the zone is taking the Celtics out of the game. Celtics miss and Knicks rebound. Knicks miss and Celtics rebound. Marbury forces a turnover on Rondo. Curry has it stripped by Rondo. PP drives the lane and lays it in. Pass deflected by PP and Knicks have a 24 sec violation. Scal gets it into West with 2.3 on the clock and West travels but no call on it andwe don't get a shot off. Score at the end of 3. Celtics 82 Knicks 67. I hope that we get it together and play better in the 4th or the Knicks may come back to win this. You would think after the zone took us out of the last game with the Knicks that Doc would have worked on how to deal with it but it seems to be taking us out of the game again.

Not a good third qtr at all, especially when the Celtics pushed it to 30. The Knicks woke up played D and are back in this game. Doc needs to put in his press unit and get control of this game.

What is Delonte West doing out there? Come on Doc Rivers, put in Rondo and Bassy.

Pierce has not come out this half. We have issues. Like Poor Energy. Fortunately, the Knicks are struggling or we would have lost the lead already.

Take Delonte and Pierce out of there. They just aren't ushering any good ball movement. And please get the ball into Jefferson. We are struggling with our perimeter game, so go inside and establish some offense there and then take some pokes from the perimeter. Gomes should be in there to get some open elbow jumpers.

Well, the game is now up for grabs. Can the Celtics hang on and not lose a 2nd game when they were leading by 25 points?
