We are never winning anything with this coaching staff. That will hopefully change this summer.

There's no execution down the stretch with this team, but I am pleased with the effort.

its kind of hard to have execution with no one on the court.

This was the game we had to win. There was going to be no moral victory in a loss. None, no matter if we didn't have Billups and even without Amar'e. We had to pull this off.

Again, we did our best job, but again lost a close game to the Celtics. Every expert is padding his back for choosing the Celtics to win.

We have been competitive, but it matters zip if you can't get the W when it matters the most.

We fans have been dealt another horrible blow. They have teased us only to break our hearts again. This one hurts a lot, but hurts more because of the first loss. That seems obvious, but what I mean is, the first game hurt because we could've won, but this one almost kills all the excitement of the playoffs as we had to win this game and didn't.

It hurts a lot. Now it looks like we might repeat the recipe for two more games and make this trip not matyter zip.

This really hurts. This really does.

D'antoni's play calling and lack of focus down the stretch is hurting this team.

I can't evn get angry anymore....the way the officiating was and all the bad breaks we got, I knew we were losing even after Jeffries made.

I'm convinced we are better than them now which is something I never thought I would say.

Knicks mistake of not being in a position to foul was unforgivable, but with no timeouts they were only gonna get a heave at the basket anyway. Game was definitely lost on the last possesion. You gotta hold on to the friggin basketball and get a shot off.

Wait a minute! You think the Celtic's can't be beat after what we just went thru losing 2 of our best players in this series? Man what's wrong with you people? I don't understand the negative statements about this team. We weren't the better team coming in and yet we're right on the edge of getting over the hump and we've had to fight the refs and injuries to two of our best players. I'm not sure I understand some the Knick fans right now.

Until we prove we can actually beat them, we're not better than them. End of story.

My big question is why is jefferies on the court when we ONLY need offense? It was after a timeout so we know our coach wanted him on the floor.

The coaching has them in the game until the last play of the game. You can argue that Jefferies should not have been in the game but the play worked, except for the guy not catching the pass and going straight up with it.

we're not good enough to have a margin of error, nor good enough to be perfect. but it is a freaky script against boston by now.

He was very special....very special. This may be the perfect offense for him. Not sure if he can fully mesh with Amar'e but time will tell.

At the same time You gotta acknowledge Rondo is such a damn good point guard.

Well if he gets double or tripled you can find an open man under the basket and they did- problem is who that man was.

We are running one guy and bunch of retreads that wouldn't see PT on most playoff teams and all you can think of is blaming the coach. You guys are amazing. Misdirection??? Our players can't make layups when they are wide open under the basket. You want misdirection? Right, let's the blame the coach.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

We just have to hope that STAT and CB can heal up and get back into the series. Until we lose a home game i'm not gonna panic. I still believe in this team. This was a freak game with STAT getting hurt.

6% of teams who have gone down 2-0 have went on to win. 6%.

thats why the play the games bro. 1990 knicks over C's after going down 2-0 in a best of 5 series.
C's have gotten lucky 2 straight games on their home floor -- tonight they should've blown us out it was MELO and 4 d-leaguers!

lets see how it goes in the garden.

I had that same thought when Kerr was saying how good he is at calling sideline out of bounds plays.

If the Knicks keep losing to Boston, how is a Knicks fan supposed to think that the Celtics can be beat.
