BOSTON -- Boston stayed close enough until the New York Knicks failed again. This time, it was because of the Celtics' defense. Paul Pierce scored 30 points and Ray Allen had nine of his 14 in the final quarter to lift the Celtics to a 91-89 win over the struggling Knicks on Friday night. Hanging close until they finally caught New York midway into the final quarter, Celtics coach Doc Rivers kept telling his team that it would be defense that would make the difference. It was. On the Knicks' final two possessions, it was someone other than Carmelo Anthony...
Original Story:
Maybe, Douglas and Novak? Why did Novak take the last shot? What was wrong with the alley-oop to Chandler?Going to the basket and hope for a foul.If you just wanted to throw the ball up,let your two stars throw the ball up.
If the kid was doing alright getting to the rim and dishing,what was the logic in bringing in Douglas when he hasn't played the whole game? The team was doing a helluva good job through the first and second quarter so why did they change up in the third? I'm just saying,the Novak and the Douglas thing was the coach,all that other stuff was the team. Who's to blame? I don't know anymore but I do know the blame is spread all over this team like a virus.I'll never hear the end of my wife dogging the Knicks! She tells me all the time "The Knicks will let you down every time."I'm gonna have to stay at my in-laws just so I wont hear it anymore.
