Your in-game & post-game thoughts here.

Odds are not good, though.

    The rims are unkind for the Knicks at the start of the game. Think they’ll go the rim now?

    Not me.

    Marv is really getting his digs in. Good for him.

    If you aren’t hitting outside shots – STOP TAKING OUTSIDE SHOTS!

    GO TO THE RIM, YOU MORONS!

    Brian Cronin says:

    They keep shooting outside shots and missing horribly!!!

    Hey-they listened

    Brian Cronin says:

    I can’t believe that they’re actually theoretically still in the game, down “only” 16-7.

    Zach needs to stop playing like a SG.

    Brian Cronin says:

    James freakin’ Naismith could tell you – if your shot is not falling, go to the rim.

    Sooo simple.

    If the Celtics block the shot, then fine, deal with it.

    A-freakin-men.

    Crawford actually runs away from the man he is supposed to be defending…what the hell is he doing on D?

  13. 13
    dred says:

    We have to keep Crawford on Rando. He’s one of the few guards in the league who can’t hit his open shots after he goes by Jamal.

  14. 14
    Brian Cronin says:

    Again with the outside shots.

    So sad.

    Brian Cronin says:

    Good to know that Jeffries is over Balkman in the depth chart.

  16. 16
    Brian Cronin says:

    David Lee should not be taking jump hooks.

  17. 17
    Brian Cronin says:

    Oh wait, theoretically, Isiah could be benching Randolph for Jeffries, right? I wouldn’t mind that.

  18. 18
    Islamatron says:

    Is Balk still hurt or sumthin?

    This is the first time I’ve actually watched the Knicks play this season.

    Never again.

    Never again.

    Yeah, this is uggggggggggly.

    I’m about ready to give up on the game, too.

    cwod says:

    Has Randolph touched the ball without shooting yet?

  22. 22
    Brian Cronin says:

    Zach Randolph is playing like Starks in Game 7 against Houston.

  23. 23
    Brian Cronin says:

    The Knicks are on the other side of the court by the time Crawford gets to cover his man.

  24. 24
    Brian Cronin says:

    I really don’t see how tIsiah could POSSIBLY think that Jeffries is a better option here than Balkman.

    IS Balkman hurt?

  25. 25
    Brian Cronin says:

    27-16 after one, and it could have been sooo much worse.

  26. 26
    Islamatron says:

    wow, now I know why the Knicks are never on national TV

    HA… Marv Albert speaking on Sexual Harassment! the Irony

    Brian Cronin says:

    STOP SHOOTING JUMPERS!!

  29. 29
    Brian Cronin says:

    Curry is there to DUNK, not to take jumpers!!

    How can they be this stupid?!

    cwod says:

    This is awful.

  31. 31
    Brian Cronin says:

    Please, please, just drive to the rim!!!

  32. 32
    Brian Cronin says:

    Okay, next possession, if the Knicks take a jumper, I’m done.

  33. 33
    Brian Cronin says:

    I guess that shouldn’t count – an open jumper is okay.

  34. 34
    Danis says:

    Curry and Z-bo 22 mins combined, for 2/15 shooting and 3 boards.

  35. 35
    Brian Cronin says:

    Okay, that’s it.

    Done.

    Please have the 2nd squad in now, please

    Sly Williams says:

    Knicks star of the 1st half: Nate Robinson

    If Balkman plays 8 more minutes, we win this game.

  39. 39
    Frank says:

    wow is this ugly.
    i say play chandler, nate, lee, balkman, and morris from here on out.
    couldn’t be uglier so why not? unless those guys are all inactive.

  40. 40
    Sly Williams says:

    I agree with Frank, let’s see the younger players develop.
    At the beginning of the telecast, Marv (I think) said that Isiah’s plan was to keep feeding the big people because Boston can’t stop them.
    Curry and Randolph are 2-18 FGA

    They are flinging and burger-kinging!

    JK47 says:

    Okay, now is everybody convinced that Zach Randolph is bad at basketball? Because I am.

  42. 42
    JK47 says:

    So far, through three quarters, the Celtics have zero turnovers.

    I
    have
    never
    seen
    worse
    basketball
    This team has quit
    4-10
    But the knicks are losing by 50.

    This is the worst basketball I have ever seen (and hopefully will ever see) in my life.

    Amazing commentary from Brian Cronin. Amazing!!!

    Victor says:

    Instead of watching this I think I’ll kill myself… Isiah do you realize you waited a full quarter to take out your worst players and to never play some of your best young players (Chandler, Morris). It didn’t matter anyway… FIRE YOURSELF NOW!

  47. 47
    Frank O. says:

    New GM
    New coach

    Jerry says:

    I’m not even a knicks fan, but geez, you guys need a new coach, players, etc. wow…

    Victor says:

    Wonderful Shot Nate… Before the game Jim Dolan said, “If we score the lowest point total in franchise history I’ll finally fire Isiah.” Nate, We appreciate you keeping him around. Qrich thanks for embarrasing the team even more that it already is. Garnett, I think you embarrased Craig Sager, he deserved it. The fact that I am talking about the post game interview really shows how this game went… I am a dedicated fan to watch this until the end. By the way, why can’t Isiah play Chandler and Morris?

  50. 50
    Capt. Merlin says:

    in a game like this, where they went into the 4th with 41 points and down 50-some points, is it wrong to wonder why neither chandler nor morris saw any time at all and lee played only his usual (for this season) 15-20?

    danvt says:

    I feel like such an idiot for believing in this team.

    This is so awful, and now I have to deal with the fairweather C fans up here in New England. I’m going to have to move. Maybe I’ll call in sick tomorrow. If the Sox get Santana I might have to leave the country.

    Garnetts annoying. Dude, we know you’re hardnosed, shutup! BTW he only took one shot and they were up by twenty. 8 minutes of pine for KG in the 1st / 2nd quarter, if I’m not mistaken.

    Some good news though. Isaiah has got to go now. It’s just a matter of time. There might be a position in the Bush administration for a man of his caliber.

    A historic game. I can’t wait to read the “four factors” analysis. Wonder what insights we can glean from that.

    isiahmustgo says:

    I have never been more embarrassed to be a fan of a “professional” franchise.

    Isiah is clearly trying to get fired. He knows he has assembled a disaster, and wants to get out of the camera angle.

    The team is equal blame on this one tho. Isiah wasn’t wrong when he said it was the most selfish first half he has ever seen.

    I think my favorite part was Isiah not even taking a TO in the 3rd and just leaving his team out there to take the butt kicking.

    When Dolan sells the team, I will re-engage. Until then there is and will be no hope.

    4 factors:

    Joe says:

    I hate to break the news to those of you wanting to see the “young players” starting playing more, but the fact is that the core group of Lee, Balkman, Collins, Nate, Morris, and Chandler really aren’t all that good. There has been a bit of pro-Isiah propaganda surrounding these guys, because many people are desperate to find SOMETHING positive to say about Isiah. So, in the massive media market of New York, the media spins these youngsters as diamonds in the rough. I guarantee you they’d be saying the same exact thing about the younger Celtic players like Davis and Rondo if they were here (and yet the Knick fan base gives no props at all to these players).
