Knicks game

[Celtic4Hire@AOL.com]

The Celts actually played pretty well through most of the game. They had 
there usual problems in the last 8 minutes of the game of scoring a basket. 
It was Pierce this time who was forcing shots. I said yesterday that he 
should shoot with a man on him anyways but I meant from the free throw line 
in, not out... Walker took a smart pill and was 8 for 10 shooting at one 
point in the first half. He was showing some nice moves, counters off these 
moves and even an upfake that left Camby in the popcorn machine. He continued 
his game thinking game in the second half, although he didn't get as many 
chances on the box for some reason. The Knicks were really denying Pierce and 
Walker the ball and the rest of boys (VP, Anderson, Stith and Williams) to 
happy to attempt to take the offensive load. Unfortunately, other than Stith, 
they couldn't get it done in the fourth quarter....To be honest, the game was 
really lost in the first half. The Celts came out jazzed and we playing 
excellent offense and defense. Blount was an energy bunny and got the boys 
running the fast break with his jailbreak speed and outlet passes. It was 
really nice to see. However, in the second quarter, Pitino decided that a 14 
lead means that it is time to get some of the bench sitters  to lose some 
pounds and puts in a no-offense lineup of Griffen, Williams, McCarty, VP and 
Brown. He sprinkled some Walker and Anderson in there but what a momentum 
breaker! The lead was instantly evaporated. You got to think that Pitino 
wants the team to do bad so it will get sold and he makes more money because 
I don't know who is supposed to shoot the ball other than when Walker or 
Anderson was in there. The rest of these guys are purely benchwarmer bobs 
with no offensive threat. I guess Pitino thinks they will get there offense 
off steals or with great picks. Yes you have to sub put you rotate to you are 
keeping in two starters or at least one of the best two players in there at 
all times. So I blame this loss on Pitino.... Did I mention that the 
designated Pierce relief, Carr, was a DNP?...I have to agree with Tommy that 
the refs did suck on this game. That nocall on Stith in the lane with 3 
minutes left was blatant....
