Nice second quarter for the Knicks. The three shot was falling.

But the D is still atrocious. If we are back is because of the 3pt shot and the Celtics relaxing. Don't think they win this, but nice quarter, at least.

The difference in this game and the last (Mil) is that Knicks shots are falling. Knicks defense hasn't been that bad, Celts just hitting shots up until the last 3 or 4 minutes. Most of the 27 shots that Boston has made were jumpers, not a whole lot you can do when a team shoots like that.....as the Knicks did when they beat Det, Sac, NJ, Mem, Gst, OKC.

The way I see it is the difference is effort. Poor effort all game long vs Milwaukee led to sloppy play led to way too many turnovers (what, 28?).

Tonight, it started the same, no effort, nobody cared, nobody hustled, they turned it over 7 times in sloppy play.

Then the 2nd Q they played really hard as the quarter went on, they had 0 turnovers, and they got to within 8.

It's effort here. Not necessarily that shots are or are not falling - it's effort.

They shot 78% in the first qrt are you kidding? Boston got sloppy we got a pep in our step and cut into the lead. Even as bad as Boston played in the 2nd qrt they are still getting any shot they want.

Duhon needs to take a seat. He isn't fighting through screens at all.

Bah... just sloppy as hell here in the 3rd. Boston giving us every chance to get all the way back and nobody outside of Q is doing anything out there.

Chandler and Harrington have been abysmal. Time to get Nate back in there.

We don't have the players and now we don't have a coach that demands it.

Might as well just concede the defensive end to be honest. Don't even think about it. There's never going to be defense with this current roster.

Those are some good screens KG is setting
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

That was an offensive foul by Allen on Q. No real deception about the issue either.

Can SOMEONE please do something about Rajon Rondo? He's had like 6 layups this quarter.

The post player is not defending the pick and roll well.

This is so boring from a knicks fan standpoint. We are getting abused in the paint and having no effort on D.

It's about time someone put that clown Rondo on the ground. Inexcusable, in a quarter the C's are playing like crap giving us every chance to get back into the game, we go ahead and let Rondo have a layup line like it's practice.

Ugly.

And... Chris Duhon is now another Knick record holder: 43 consecutive made FTs.
