Eastern Conference Quarterfinal: (3) Boston Celtics vs. (6) New York Knicks

[Rayman]

Billups out, Amare will try and go.

 

[G-men]

Because no team has come back from a 0-2 deficit to win the series right? They lost the first two games AT boston, without Chauncey AND Amare, in the last minute. Now they're coming to play at home, in front of an electric crowd.

Momentum in on the Knicks side.

the bolded is laughable, im not gonna even argue that.

i never said it wasnt possible for the Knicks to win the series, i just said that Carmelo shouldnt be excited to go into game 3 down 0-2. ive never heard of a situation where momentum is on the side of the team down 0-2. if they win this game, you can make that case. but right now, its not looking so good.

 

[Champ]

Celtics in 4.

 

[G-men]

im just overwhelmed by all this momentum that the Knicks have :smug:

 

[Rayman]

Ray Allen just purified the Knicks in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.

:smh:

Oh defiantly...How's that momentum thing working out for ya?

 

[Twigg4075]

Well, it looks like I was wrong thinking the Knicks would pull out a victory tonight. But I'm glad I was.:smug2:

Don't worry though, Melo is happy with the performance and he's sure they can figure out how to win.

Momentum is on the Knicks' side

nothings better than when someone makes a fool of themselves in a thread and then groans the ones who were right.

 

[Juggernaut]

Fool? When the fuck did I say the Knicks would win?

And if you didn't notice, they still don't have Billups. They have no true point guard playing more than 10 minutes a game. Your expecting Douglas/Carter to cover Rondo?

And its ok, I know more than to get riled up by a front running heat fan.

 

[jeffx]

I actually had arguments with folks who thought the Knicks had a chance to win this series. Shows you how clueless some fans are. Look at the roster - two stars, and an aging PG surrounded by D-league players. Celtics may be old, but they're battle-tested, execute in the clutch, and have a better coaching staff.

you still dont get it. you clearly stated that the Knicks had nothing to worry about in the series because Melo single-handedly almost beat the Celtics. its not as if Billups was expected be at full strength for the game. and the fact that you actually came out and said the Knicks had the momentum in the series, well that was just icing on the cake.

and you know someones lost an argument when they completely go off topic to try and make you look bad. me being a Heat fan has nothing to do with this, even if i was a front runner. thats almost as good as if you would have responded with "Shut up."

 

[MVP1991]

That momentum the Knicks had really benefited the Celtics.

 

[Champ]

I kinda wished we got O'neal as a bench player.

 

[EmpireWF]

Damn, all I wanted was at least ONE win. :facepalm:

Really can't knock them TOO much after all the shit they've gone through the past week. Of course, you can knock D'Antoni for some shitty end of game management, but the team as a whole was about as clutch as the Howard Eisley Knick teams.

What really hits you in the face with this team is they lack DEPTH in a major major way.

Landry Fields' shitty play down the stretch and in the post-season may be a bit concerning but I'm hoping it's just a rookie wall since he played so much.

They have no legit back-up PG and while Douglas is a good hand of the bench, he's not the type of player who can be a floor general.

I like Bill Walker but he's nothing more than a 7 or 8 kind of guy. He doesn't drive often enough when he's go the ball....on the plus side, he's active on defense.

They LACK SIZE. Jared Jeffries hustles but he clogs the offense. Nothing personal, but I hope he's not on the team next year. Or at the least, a bench a guy. He's a decent defensive guy but against better big men, he wilts.

Injuries are a motherfucker. Amar'e may not play in Game 4 because his back is giving him problems and frankly, I'd hold him out just to play it safe. Billups knee may be fucked up if their is ligament damage. When he plays, he's a damn good PG (and clearly the best one we've had in a long time, fuck Marbury)...but is his questionable health going forward worth the $14 million or whatever the # is next season?

Ronny Turiaf is a good role player but asking him to start is the wrong way to go. Plus, he's playing on one knee apparently.

As far as the series, Boston played like shit in games 1 & 2 and that was the time for the Knicks to take a game or two. Eventually, Boston was going to wake up offensively and they did in game 3. Just imagine if Melo hits the 3 pointer in game 1 and Jeffries scores in game 2 and they win. Just two plays change the entire face of the series.

I kinda wish we had that aging PG the last two games. Kinda wish one of our two stars didn't have his back injured.

Knicks did have the momentum, but news flash, having the momentum doesn't mean they're going to win.

Billups not playing for the Knicks had really benefited the Celtics.

not sure why youre even still trying. id think youd realize that what you said was stupid when every other person in the thread is arguing against you. there is nothing you can say that would give the Knicks an advantage or momentum or whatever wanna call it going into that game 3 down 0-2.

bama: You're probably one of the most worthless members on this site.

Answer this.

----
Here's the scenario:
Game 1, you lose the game by 2 points when youre away and a key player on your team was lost to injury in the final minute. This is away.
Game 2, you lose the game by 3 points when you don't have one of your stars for a half, and billups is gone entire game. This is away.

Game 3: On your court, with both your stars playing the full game WITH chauncey billups.

I don't see how you can be this dense. Going into game 3, on your court, and I thought Billups and Amare would both play, you have to think that using the last 2 games as a measure, the Knicks would win.

Sadly, the Knicks still didn't have Billups. He would have made the biggest difference.

 

[G-men]

im dumb fucking arguing with you considering Knicks fans agree with me. you just keep taking every fucking thing out of context. and talk about calling the kettle black about worthless members.
