Yep, that's what you get when you slap a bunch of strangers together and call them a team. We need ball movement and not getting it, relying too much on iso plays.

But despite all these blunders, we still had the game. We still had the W.

That is, until the refs stole it. The offensive foul call on Melo completely took the game from our control and put it in Boston's hands. A terrible, awful call. Something needs to be done.

I hope all of the media, ESPN, Twitter, Simmons, coaches, Mark Cuban explode at this terrible officiating so that the NBA earnestly tries to fix it.

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...

You can't fault MDA on timeouts. He used them well during the game to stop Boston runs and also regroup the team during those runs. We had our chance, Melo with a chance to win.

yeah, but now we dont have billups, as much as he is crazy with his shots. This teams needs him on the floor, they just look more comfortable with him.

On to the Nuggets game...Gallo's putting on a show.

problem is billups can't guard allen through those screens.
I really feel like this is probably it for him, age is not allowing him to heal as fast and he just seems to be having the same injuries over and over again.

The 2nd half made you really appreciate the job Landry did on Ray in the first half.

i thought to myself why not come in with fields instead of carter when billups goes down. Only thing i could think of was ball control, but landry certainly could have probably put good d on allen. Allen got open for a split second on a trip. Thats all he needs, can't slip/fall in those circumstances. Ray will hit that shot all the time, but we had our chance. Would have liked melo to send it to overtime instead of going for the win by 3, but hey you live with shot.

Disgusting. And Although Toney got Tripped you can't fall on a play like that..Why didn't Dantoni have Landry Fields defending Ray Allen there when he had such a great game.

Also How would you guys say Jefferies play'd...think he hurt us a lot in this game on the Offensive side.

I hope Billups is okay.

I thought Jeffries played as good as he could play. Any time he is on the court, he hurts our offense, but he was playing very good D.
He was the reason they had to call timeout. He was Defending rondo and rondo couldn't see to inbound. After timeout, he gets a kick ball, then Doc changes inbound passer. So jefferies was guarding any more. I actually think he should of stayed on the inbound pass.
