It's a shame Melo didn't learn from Durant yesterday. As long as you have NBA level teammates, you don't need to force bad shots.

Durant was 13-30 last night. If Melo had put that up, he'd have been killed. He HAS been killed for nights like that. Also, OKC was a lucky three point bounce away from blowing a 20+ lead to the Rockets. Durant is great, but that is NOT a game to point to for Carmelo to be "learning from".

Woodson needs to tear them a new one during halftime.

Even without JR, these Knicks can come back in the 2nd half if they regain their focus. Buck Foston.

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

There's no good excuse for Woody benching Cope and giving minutes to Q when Cope had been there for this team for good stretches of the season. There's no excuse for the team not playing hard and not playing smart. Where is the intensity on D and where is the ball movement on O? Come on Woody! GEEZ!!!

+Infinity. Felton need to step up again. We have so much fire power, and Woodson isn't using it correctly.

Where's the fire power?

Kidd's jumper is MIA,
Shump has the playoff jitters
Cope has the playoff Jitters
Tyson hasn't got his game back yet
JR is out
Amar'e is out
Prigs is a pass first PG
Q-Brick is Q-brick
Novak is only good once every 4 or 5 games

Where are the points coming from?

The fix is in. Melo's face says it all.

League is pathetic sometimes.

It also seems like this is Woodys call. Melo was posted up nearly every possession. Theres no way he called that himself every time.
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

This is the last game in the Boston Carden for this current Celtic team. They are trying to go out strong. Hopefully the Knicks comeback in the second half. JR on the court today would have made a difference in my opinion.

Of course thats why i surprised so many people arent mad at JR. What he did was incredibly stupid. All he had to do was WALK AWAY

I expected to lose 1 game in Boston. Its tough to win here a lot especially in the playoffs. the good news is that we will still be up 3-1. No team comes back from 3-0 in the nba

He's trying to motivate the kid, you don't know Woody yet do you ?

If it does turn into a blowout this would be a good opportunity for Shump and Copeleand to get some extra playoff time in and gain more confidence.

I wanted to sweep them. I want to laugh at KG & PP. Guess it may have to wait a game. Maybe it's better to do it at the Garden anyway.

FG% become obsolete when they started using a 3 point line. You should look up his TS% or at least adjusted FG%.

Ask Woodson. Apparently he feels Q has more to offer than Cope, and he is making the dumb choices.

Just to add to that - Durant's 13 of 30, 41 pts is pretty similar to Melo's playoff game the homers always brag about (42 pts, 14-30) from a couple years ago.
