My first reaction was anger because of the timing, but now I just feel bad for anyone who isn't enjoying this win after all these years. Of course we want to go futher but it doesn't mean this victory over the Boston Fing Celtics isn't sweet. If we can't enjoy it what's the point? Goodnight.

Bitching and moaning after eliminating the Celtics 4-2 is lame.

The Celtics took the Heat to 7.

How do you look at yourself in the mirror?

Two totally different Celtics teams

Thats true. rondo and allen were on that team

Papabear Says

Wrong buddy Green is better than Ray Allen. The Knicks played 2 teams tonight the Celtics and the refs.

Yeah lets blame the refs again.

The refs were part of the problem. If you DVR'd the game check every KG screen and he should have fouled out 3 times over in that one quarter alone.

the refs were definitely awful, and I completely agree with KG getting away with murder, but worrying about that is like worrying if the sun is going to come up

Look the refs made some bad calls but that happens from time to time. Thats no excuse for blowing a 25 point lead in the 4th qauretr withing 3 minutes

completely agree

There are some serious concerns with the way this team handled this series and the competition only gets better from here. Let's not try and pretend that there aren't legit areas of concern. I'm glad we won but this wasn't a clean and convincing win over a weakened 1st rd opponent. We were not playing our game for LARGE portions of this series. That shouldn't happen. Not when it's as simple as ball and player movement. Something the coach is supposed to have the most control over.

Now I see why the Hawks fired him even though they were a 50 win team.

Knicks just won their first playoff series in over a decade. The genius didnt do that. Come on man. Felton said it. 'We got sloppy.'

Man don't give me that ish! This is about more than this series which we should've won 2 games ago. Woody has been making bad decisions and hasn't shown he's up to the task in the playoffs just yet. If this was the Pacers or Heat we lose.

Felton says we got sloppy but that wasn't the problem. It was Woody allowing the team to lose it's intensity with that prevent offense. Having Melo and JR in there at the same time when neither have been hitting or playing well. It just goes on and on...

This is the truly scary part of Woody as a coach. He does so good but then in the playoffs he has these mind numbingly bad stretches. He has to get his act together!!! Why NO PRIGS in the 4th? Why did they have to go away from Felton and force it to Melo every time down? Just so many things that drive you crazy. I'm glad they won, but this wasn't the best coaching performance at all.

Please stop..U are the biggest supporter of one of the worse coaches this organization has seen...When was the last time MDA made it to the second round...How many years has it been..Is it doable without Nash...So, silence and enjoy the win...

You take a shot at mda as a knick coach, means you were under a rock for his tenure

Who was under a rock?., me or u??..Name one time MDA overachieved with his roster..Just once...

Carmelo wasn't at his best. But after Boston cut a 26-point deficit to four, Melo scored 7 straight points. He was big when they needed him

I could care less about all the negativity right now. This team is doing everything it set out to do and yet we're still whining. Don't get me wrong, that was a collapse, but how soon do we forget that we were down by 20 and cut it to 5 just 2 games ago
This is a teaching moment and learning experience. We got the pressure off us w/ getting out the first round, and I expect for us to do a lot better next round.

Positives:
Shumpert - looking like the player many thought he would be
Felton - playing with extreme toughness and shutting up a lot of so-called knowledgeable basketball experts.
Pablo - Playing great defense and starting to shoot with confidence
Tyson - actually showed up and looking better each game
Martin - What a great sign. Starting to love this guy

Need Improvement
Melo and Jr - Get in the gym right now and shoot 1000 jumpers. Right now.
Mental collapses

Congrats on reaching our goals so far

1. Winning 50+ games - check
2. Winning Atlantic Division - check
3. Win first playoff series in 13 years - check

haters gon hate.
