Yup. MT @Howard Beck I've covered a lot of Celtics playoff games the last five years. This has to be the most empty seats I've seen.

Knicks and Felton have done a good job on Pierce isos.
EDIT: LOL Boston pulling out all the stops sending goons to delay the Knicks drive to the arena.

Defense still matters, and Kobe hasn't played in 2-3 years.
Yeah the guy who takes the opposition's best PG in his mid 30s plays no defense. Kobe's haters in the media have done an excellent job of making ignorant fans believe this but it's blatantly false.
He will give mediocre shooters open 3s to conserve energy (cos he's carrying the offense and guarding PGs at age his age) but he does not get broken down or straight up abused by anyone. And when he needs to make a stop, he usually does. The guy is not a bad defender by any means and it's disgusting how the conventional wisdom is now the opposite just because some media haters were mad that coaches kept putting him on the All Defensive team.

He started 2-8 in Game 3, finished 12-25.Celtics better hope Melo doesn't heat up.
He'll come out strong in the second half.He started 2-8 in Game 3, finished 12-25.

Dang that was Celtics best shot. IDK who going to come through in the second quarter, but the Knicks is doing their spring cleaning today.

Knicks down 22-17? I'll take that 1st quarter.
Observations:
- So far Novak appears to be taking JR's minutes, no idea if that means Shump/Kidd/Felton take the rest or if Quentin Richardson/James White are an option.
- Carmelo definitely playing 40+ tonight unless there's a blowout.
- Celts hitting more of their open shots, still not trusting the bench to do shit, Pierce/Green/Bass played teh whole 1st quarter. They leaving it on the court.

Why are the Knicks bailing out so quick on the offensive boards today, leaving KG for tons of uncontested rebounds.

So this a great opportunity to take the heart out of the Boston fans. Awesome.

Yup leaving mediocre shooters like Klay Thompson/Thabo/Crawford open is GREAT defense.
You act like he is letting Kendrick Perkins take the wide open 3's that cripple the lakers not decent to good wing players.
Kobe has been a joke on D for years, it just was the first year even 1% of the media noticed.
