You didn't see the team holding the Knicks to 38% shooting (28% from 3's) and hold this high powered offense to 89 points?
The effort was there, especially defensively. We made mistakes but so did NY. In the end, we xouldnt make shots and we lost. But what they did tonight was far from embarrasing.
Disappointing, yeah. Embarassing, youre way overreacting I think.
Well, let's point out that Carmelo played really well in the 4th quarter. Also JR Smith made a big 3 and Jason Kidd came up with a steal off a Rondo turnover. Plus, Amar'e and Chandler gave the Knicks alot of size which the Celtics couldn't overcome.
Aka, the Knicks made the key plays and the Celtics didn't.

And yet with all that, we were close enough to have the game. We did fell short, im not denying it. But to not see the effort put in by this team against a clearly much better team?
Losing by 30 is embarrasing.
Losing without putting effort is embarrasing.
We lost i get that, but not without a fight. But to call the team an embarrassment, way over reacting.
