Certainly not. The plan was to get him in as a backup to Ray Allen, but we all know what happened there.

[Pidge]

I know, was a bit of a low blow tbh.

[Carradona]

Celtics-Knicks Game 2 is live on ESPN UK in 10 minutes. Cheers to RedKnight for the heads up.

[Pidge]

Blake is out, Nash hurt, Meeks out. We're out of guards. Think the sweep is happening.

[Lee909]

Russell Westbrook is out for the playoffs

Surgery on a torn meniscas

[Pidge]

MWP now injured... fucking hell, Ebanks might even play at this rate.

 

Morris

Goudelock

Clark

Gasol

Howard

 

to start? Hopefully Nash is available.

[RedKnight]

Lakers: No Kobe

OKC: No Westbrook

Bulls: No Rose

Celtics: No Rondo

Denver: No Gallinari

GSW: No Lee

SAS: Manu&TP hurt

Heat:EVERYBODY healthy

[Carradona]

And no Sully. Sully would be eating up the Knicks on the board in this series. Obviously Rondo was the biggest loss to our season, but the injury to Sully is largely overlooked as to how detrimental it has been. He was just beginning to look like he could become a started alongside KG, putting up valuable numbers of both points and rebounds.

[RedKnight]

I'm at the point where I'm not even bothered if the Knicks sweep Boston. Every year since 2008 there's been someone injured which derails the playoff run. The team needs to be rebuilt now, it's limping on but that's not good enough anymore.

[llego]

Come on Knickerbockers!

[Carradona]

This series is over. It's almost depressing to watch how awful we are right now. The offense is completely non-existent. Just slinging it from long range (with basically no success). And then missed lay-ups too. AAAAGGGHHHHH.

[RedKnight]

The Celtics are 3 for 31 when behind by 10 points in a game this season. So yeah, Knicks are going 3-0 tonight. Ainge will be earning his money in the off-season this year. He's still living off the plaudits of the KG/Ray Allen trades, well now he has to re-imagine the roster again.

[Pidge]

Glock and Morris go or 44!

 

But then the Spurs didn't have to defend because they could walk to the basket at will.

 

 

Trolled.

[Pidge]

Bulls/Nets heading for 3OT?

 

Blatant shooting foul on Noah ignored in the last seconds, it goes to 3OT

[Pidge]

Robinson and Noah fouled out now, looking difficult for the Bulls. Gibson's on 5 as well.

 

A few great plays from Luol has got them up 5 though. Great playoff action, this.

[Pidge]

Huge play from Mohammed to all but seal it for Chicago. Great game.

[dave u]

That's a great effort from my Bulls. Pisses me off that Rose won't drag himself out there when he's been cleared. His team-mates have busted a gut all season and Noah is playing on one leg.

 

The team is full of heart and guts and are a match for anyone, but they need Rose to have any chance of toppling the Heat.

[Paco]

Raymond felton with a lakers era derek Fisher esque 3rd quarter for the knicks there

[Pidge]

Anthony... ugh, horrible game, especially in the clutch.

[Carradona]

So the first 3 games of the series that I was able to watch were horrible, humiliating defeats. Wasn't able to watch the last two games in which we picked up big, gutsy wins (OT win and a road win). Hope I don't jinx it tonight. Come on Celtics!

[Pidge]

Whens it on?

[RedKnight]

Midnight.

[Pidge]

Sweet, will tune it to that. The one thing the east coast has over the west is gametimes. Most Lakers games start at 430am.

 

Sorry boys, backing the Knicks.

[Carradona]

If anyone wants a quality stream for the Celtics game, send me a PM and I will pass you on a link that is very good.
