Good post.

I dont really agree the knicks were pretty sloppy at times. woody left novak in there every time we had a lead and then the lead evaporated. the defense once again let us down

+10

I never said they weren't sloppy. I said they were up for the challenge. Two different things. Knicks were sloppy because of Celtics backcourt pressure. The other team sometimes has something to do with failures. I do think Woody had a poor game. One in leaving Novak in too long. He should have had Copeland in there who did soem nice things defensively in the first half. And two by not calming the team down when they started getting emotional. He can't be one of the guys in that moment. Same way he reacted in the Memphis game. Even if Refs are killing you..you can't make it seem to your team that it's the refs fault you are losing.

LOL, melo was farther gone mentally than I expected.

If he did he's getting suspended Zach Randolph waiting for Kendrick Perkins style.

let's hope Melo marinates on that and comes sharp and ruthless if/when the Knicks and Celtics cross paths in April/May

Me too, sometimes players wake up when they get pissed but Melo really lost it this time.

Boston was missing rondo so the knicks should have won this game

that means nothing. Celtics still have a formidable team. Celtics were playing like garbage with Rondo minus Bradley. The difference in this game was Bradley's disruption on defense. There are few "should have won" type games in the NBA. It's all about matchups. This isn't Playstation.

not disagreeing - just hoping when he gains some distance he gains some composure and uses it as fuel moving forward.

I said it before and I'll say it again, this team's biggest weakness is its temper. Melo needs to pull it together and how he was tonight is inexcusable. Just hope something positive comes of it later

Hahn saying he was screaming at someone (probably KG) and had to be restrained

Loses happen in the NBA, that's basketball for the clueless one's.

Off to make some dinner for the family while the likes of TKF run wild and celebrate our loss.

23-11. Still 2nd place of the entire Eastern Conference.

Now go cry me a river negative critics.

you still don't get it: it's not THAT you lose it's HOW you lose.... just like it's not THAT you win it's HOW you win.

They lost by 6 points despite an awful shooting night from the 2nd leading scorer in the league.

exactly-- it's not that they lost it's how they lost.
