Hey, with Westbrook down, the Knicks may be the only team able to give the Heat a decent challenge en route to the easiest title ever. I'm hoping the Heat have to go through a healthy Knicks team and let's say, the Clippers. They'll beat both, but it might at least be exciting.

No tema turned the series from 0-3 to 4-3. At least Cs have to win tomorrow, avoiding to have a sweep

That's impossible to do.

However, mid 90's Antoine Walker can be done. Is that enough?

Stop turning the ball over.

Make the open shot.

Guard their penetration. If the Knicks are going to shoot a 3 pointer, let it be one that is shot over the top of a defender.

Force some turnovers and run when we can.

  Maybe it would be if we could stick him on the Knicks and bet him he can't take 25 three pointers a game.

We are holding the Knicks 13 points below their season average. They are a top 3 Offensive Rating team in the league this year.

The Knicks defense rating was below league average. However they did force quite a bit of turnovers.

Our offense has really crapped the bed in the playoffs. We are not this bad on offense, but we were fairly a poor offensive team rating wise (bottom 7). Offensive "juggernauts" teams like the Hornets, Pistons, Bucks and Pacers were all rated higher than us, offensively.

Statistically, we are actually playing better defense in the playoffs than we did in the regular season.

Turn this series around?

Start winning next game, then the next one. Go back home and beat the Knicks again.

But start winning one. I won't be able to watch tomorrow's game, so I want Game 5.

Go Celtics!

And again, the San Antonio Spurs are neglected. For the millionth time in the last decade?  ::)

I think KG is playing hurt... Pierce probably is too.  Without our two best guys playing at 100%... we can't do anything.

Well, they need to find a way to go 48 minutes with this team. Game 1 was good until the 4th Q. Game 2 was a good half. Game 3 was no good at all.

They might win tomorrow (30% chance) but going to New York to game 5 will be next to impossible.

Better start thinking about what to say for your post mortem on the CNLS post game show.
The beatings will continue until morale improves

agree, KG is not right, he isn't moving good at all , timing is screwed up .   And I'm sure Pierce has at least ten bothersome things wrong as well.

Problem is how to get these two guys though 82 games , and have them fit as afiddle for the playoff next year.
