The Celtics have to play better to win this game tonight. The first game in New York and I am sure that the Knicks are really going to try to win this game.
The Celtics bench has to step up tonight to have a chance of winning. Also have to play better team defense. They could win this game easily, if they are able to stop Carmelo, Amare, etc, from scoring a significant amount of points.

Getting an early start, hey Susan? I like it. With Miami and Chicago looking to close out their respective series, it becomes paramount for our guys to end this one quickly. Looks like Amare and Chauncey are both doubtful for tonight. Put the clamps on Melo and this one should be a breeze (of course, that doesn't mean much these days). -

They need to do a better job on the boards and limit turnovers.

Most every game its something we do well and something else we do poorly. First game we dominated the boards, second game we got dominated.
We need to have the whole enchilada.
Im hoping both Amare & Billups are out. I want to win a doncare if we win with an asterisk. -

It should be interesting to see if Rondo has another great game with Billups out again tonight. I would expect that Rondo will have the advantage again. -

Bench is in, lead dwindling but cant really blame the bench players.. not yet anyway.
Rondo gotta stop be so terrified to take open 8 footers. Take the darn shot in rhythm... he messes up the entire team with all the hesitation -

I'm tellin' Jou the truth my friends! #34 is going for 30 tonight!
This knick team was about to lay down and then baby comes right in and gives up a layup to Carter.....This should be a blowout, but our bench s ucks, but they better do something tonight. The Knicks are playing real chippy and this one is gonna either get ugly or someone may have to get T'd up first but this is physical....we gotta make sure we respond with good play not fighting.
But yeah, I told y'all the knicks were couldnt play any better, but their bench may keep them in this again....*sigh* -

Im not blaming the bench really... but its amazing as soon as they step on the floor... the lead just evaporates.
Also, refs letting Knicks push C's all over the place
Rondo becoming invisible again so far -

Pierce gives us alot and he gives up alot too.
He is very lacksadaisical with the ball. He's made some lazy, horrible passes and then he failed to check Williams on the 3-pointer. We have to limit our turnovers. -

He may Have to. Ray is the only one able to dominate his matchup. Amare/K.G. and Pierce/Melo is gonna be a wash almost....so Ray should be getting some looks too just so Pierce doesnt tire out though....we dont know if the bench is gonna do what/where/when...but atleast the refs are being nice...we need to take advantage and keep attacking the rim -
