This is how Boston wins their games. They'e lulled us in for 4 games now. Knicks have to figure out a way to play their game down the stretch not Bostons.

Hopefully, Knicks are pissed for Game 2 and more than Amare, Turiaf and Walker have good games.

I'm so disappointed right now, Celtics were not supposed to win. We need to do a better job on J. Oneal. Apparently he can still play, made some big plays for them.

I didn't like the calls either but the Knicks lost because they only scored 34 second half points and missed key free throws.

If we were going to win a game, this was it.

I hate to blame the officating, I really do. But Carmelo's offensive foul should not have been called.

gotta tip your hat to the ally play. I wasn't even thinking about it and then the ball was in the hole. Risky call considering if we deflected they would be out of luck.

He took a couple early in the shot clock from way downtown. Everybody just needed to make better choices. Stat played a whale of a game though.

I must have missed the alley-oop play some how....

I'm guessing D'Antoni didn't account for Billups getting injured....

Can't blame him for that. It was a bad break that didn't go our way. We lost this game on bad mental lapses, not because of a lack of timeout.

Honestly I don't know how that happened. It didn't seem like we were burning timeouts...and I didn't even know we didn't have a TO till the last possession. Either bad TV production on MSG's part or a mysteriously misplaced timeout or two...

Knicks don't really have an offensive gameplan against the Celtics second half D. Amare had that little spurt but most of the rest was helter skelter and hail mary.

Ouch, forgot about those. Can't blame Amar'e for tonight though. He left his heart out there...and yet doesn't see the ball in the final minute.

a handful of bs calls down the stretch not going the knicks way is what killed us. TD's and 1 foul on ray allen, melo's phanton foul call on pierce's 3, no foul call on the call billups got hurt and to top it off melo's offensive foul call on pierce... we played as well as we could have expected and deserved to win that game but you can't overcome those calls.

they hit the shot, you tip your cap to them... what else can you do?

When a team constantly beats you like that and you let it win game after game, that is not good at all for your psyche.

Not good at all, we needed to close that out. Bad mental lapses in key moments


Not good for my psych either. We lose to Boston in the last minute again. Have to watch Paul Pierce parading around. Damm.

it did seem that we missed free alot of free throws. I remember stat missing two straight.
but the call against melo was just terrible. It wasn't even a charge, they were battling for position. If your the ref, you have to know the moment, less than 30 secs. Who calls that kind of foul.
Thats some BS
