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.

They've beaten us when healthy, not healthy...with scrubs...without scrubs at home and away

But isn't it a testament to our team's guts that it came down to one possession? It was Carmelo and a bunch of D-leaguers against the fully-armed and operational Death Star. Jeffries is a stiff. That's no surprise. What's a surprise is he made that open lay-up.

Meanwhile, Bill Walker doesn't hit a shot, Landry Fields vanishes, Shawne Williams gives us next to nothing, alleged sharpshooter Roger Mason airballs a wide-open 3 and misses an open layup, Toney Douglas turns in one of his worst games in a Knicks uni and Turiaf is barely upright.

It took a TOUGH KG hook shot to sink us. Doesn't ease the pain, but we were playing with house money.

I can't put any blame on the coach tonight, we gave it 110%. You can only get screwed over so many times...

THANK YOU. some of us fans have the wrong attitude about this. I don't see any Celtic mystique. I just see a team that has all of it's players and a ton of experience playing with each other. IMO we've pushed them to the limit and we haven't even come close to playing a good game yet. We KNOW this team can play better than this and hopefully we can get healthy and win at home. Until we lose at home i'm not panicking.

No one here is saying that the Celtics are winning the NBA Finals, but they are advancing into the secound round.

We made progress this year, we really did. But we're going to taste our own blood before we succeed.

It doesn't matter.

We're not advancing, they are. I'm not getting into injury excuses.

We're getting beat, period.

I will say I'm impressed slightly with D'AnToni's ability to coach a half court game at a slower pace. I hope his supporters acknowledge we aren't competitive playing SSOL but instead because we've become moderately more conventional.

So then why implement SSOL in the regular season if you're going to slow down the pace and play conventional basketball in the postseason?
