Listen, I don't pretend to sit there and watch the NBA playoffs like I've watched basketball the entire season; I'm just not one of those guys. However, I do know enough that when you're the New York Knicks and you played two tough games in Boston, you shouldn't be coming home and getting blown out of your own building. This is exactly what happened last night.
Melo, listen bro, you're a moron. To say before the game that it would be nice to get help from your teammates is one of the most selfish and dumbest things you could have said. Yeah, the team isn't very good other than you, Amare and Billups; but they're still your teammates and calling them out like that is selfish. You went 4-16 in game 3 and your teammates quit on you because of what you said. You know how I know they quit? Boston was only up 8 at halftime after that awful start you assholes had. Then they blew the doors off you in the 3rd quarter. They quit on you, because you were being a selfish prick. Pathetic.
Next, Boston is not a good rebounding team by any means. Evidence of this would be how badly the Knicks out rebounded them in game 2 in Boston. The Knicks only grabbed 12 offensive rebounds in this game. 12 fucking offensive rebounds. That's an average of three per quarter, that's pathetic. Yes, the Knicks didn't show up.
Finally, Rajon Rondo, who is a premier NBA point guard from the standpoint of passing and running the offense absolutely made the Knicks his bitch last night. He had 20 assists by himself. That's a Celtics playoff record. You know how many assists the entire Knicks team had last night? They had 18 assists as a fucking team. Rondo had more assists by himself than the entire Knicks team. I'll say it one more time, that's pathetic.
So here you go Knicks. Just mail it in for game 4 because the series is over. Get embarrassed again on your home court in a playoff game. I know Amare and Billups are hurt, but you can still play hard and show some heart. Although we all know that you won't and you'll be going home after Sunday's game. Have a fun offseason.
Nice post man. Last night was pretty pathetic from the Knicks standpoint. They pretty much didn't do anything right. Couldn't score, couldn't defend, couldn't rebound. Those all seem like pretty important things generally. They're going to need somewhat of a better bench next year if they want become real contenders because what they have right now is a sorry excuse for a bench. They played 2 real tough games in Boston and then they come back to MSG for the first game in 7 years and they put out that perfomance. A lot of questions are going to need to be answered and it will be interesting to see how they work stuff out in the offseason. Also, you think you could check out my blog cuz I'd love to hear what you have to say. http://chrisross91.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/something-needs-to-change-in-new-york-but-what/
