The Knicks are beating us to every loose ball and are playing with much more energy. West is hurting us out there now. He just isn't playing hard like he usually does. He is tentative and is letting the Knicks beat him to loose balls over and over.
Curry hits the FT to cut the lead to 6. Gomes misses a jumper and Curry rebounds. Curry puts the ball up and is fouled. That is Al's 5th. Green in for Gomes. Curry is way short on the first. hits the second. PP turns it over. Telfair with a steal. PP's 3 goes in and out. Knicks with a loose ball foul on the rebound. Celtics will inbound. West hits a jumper from the corner. Curry on the drive draws a foul on Scal. Time out with 2:48 left in the 4th and Celtics up 90-83

We have let a 30 point lead dwindle to 7 points with Curry on the line shooting 2. I hope we can hang on and start playing with more energy and win this. Curry misses the first. he hits the second. Shot clock at 6 and PP draws a foul on the baseline. Shotclock reset to 14 and Celtics inbound. PP hits a 3. A big shot. Time out with Celtics up 93-84 and 2:15 left in the 4th.

Celtics try to subsist on HackaShaq Curry FT exploits - meanwhile resting and hoping for big baskets from Pierce, West or Gomes.

28.4 left in the 4th. 18 on the SC. Knicks get it in. Curry's shot goes in and out. rebound is tipped around and PP comes up with the rebound and is fouled. 17 left in the game. PP hits both FTs. Richardson misses a 3. West with the rebound and is fouled with 6 in the 4th. West hits both FTs. Jeffries misses a 3 at the buzzer and Rondo rebounds as the buzzer sounds. Final score is Celtics 97 Knicks 90. They held on to win it. Whew.

Hey, a win is a win. I guess we should be grateful for the road W. I believe Boston has more road W's than at home. That's nice.

Why is Doc Rivers our coach? I know we won, but omg..... If we weren't playing the bricks and a bigger bumbling coach in Isiah we would have lost.

Personally I'm a little surprised they won. It seems like the bigger the lead the bigger the loss. I can't believe DA said Doc would finish the season. Why would he ever say such a dumb thing?

Once again I don't understand Doc's rotations. Al with 14 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks; Powe with 7 points and 4 rebounds and 2 blocks in only 14 minutes. Scal with only 9 points and 2 rebounds and who is in there during crunch time while we are losing the lead? Scal. Al didn't come back in until Scal fouled out. I just don't understand what Powe has to do to get playing time. The kid is solid and yet he doesn't get to play. West was not playing well and yet he stayed out there the whole time we lost the lead. Green should have been given those minutes. All that talk about how Green is earning more time and he plays 6 minutes. I really don't get Doc...

If I thought Doc could be understood I'd think he's tanking and it also makes sense that DA says he'll finish the season if that's what's happening. It's the only thing that makes any sense at all and yet if he is tanking he's tanking this year in the exact way he used to try to win, which is a multi-year tank. That's a pretty painful and inefficient way tp tank. I think he's trying to win games. DA knows he can't possibly win, so he's leaving him in there. Basically Doc's attempt to win games is DA's tanking
