Good to see the Knicks are still going with the strategy of not guarding Ray Allen.

![]() Rondo sets Celtics playoff record in assists and Ray Allen tied a record for 3s. Crowd was brutal with the chants especially to Jeffries at the worst times possible (ex. "We Want Melo" when Jeffries is trying to make a FT he earned). |

Amare stiff out there, Chauncey out, Melo getting doubled. I wanted to see what the Knicks could do against a good team healthy. It's a shame, and they need a couple more pieces to get everything right.

After the trade they were obviously gonna be under-manned depth wise and I think everyone knew that.
Definitely excited to see what the team looks like after an offseason of adding some pieces here and there. |

3rd game so far where Indiana has a lead in the 4th by 10 or more and almost blew it again.
Biggest difference was D-Rose didn't have his 15+ FTs to balance out his shitty overall shooting like in every games except today. |

A farewell to Jason Williams, the once and future White Chocolate
By Eric Freeman ![]() Williams reached heights that few point guards even glimpse. As a rookie with the Sacramento Kings, he made the All-Rookie team, had one of the league's five most popular jerseys due to his flashy play, and was part of a team that took the defending West champion Utah Jazz to the full five games in the first round. Over the next two seasons, he was a part of an ever-improving Sacramento squad that was widely acclaimed as the most exciting team in the league. After cutting back on flashy passes while playing for Hubie Brown's Grizzlies, Williams became one of the league leaders in assist-to-turnover ratio. As point guard for the NBA champion Miami Heat in '05-'06, he was arguably the team's most important role player and shot 10 of 11 from the field in the East-clinching Game 6 against the Detroit Pistons. By the end of his career, Williams had become a steady veteran presence with enough credentials to command the respect of his teammates. Yet, for all those accomplishments, his name will always be most associated with his early propensity for the kind of flashy passes usually seen on the playground circuit. The highlights made the Kings a "SportsCenter" favorite, back in the days before League Pass was a common purchase for NBA fans. They were the source of his nickname, which stuck with him long after it made any sort of sense. As a rookie, Williams was a legitimate sensation, to the point where he got attention that far exceeded his actual contributions to the Kings' success. In fact, the team didn't really take off until Williams was shipped to the Grizzlies for Mike Bibby(notes), a move that ultimately allowed coach Rick Adelman to run most of the office through the ridiculously skilled Vlade Divac and Chris Webber in the post. This is all to say that no one will ever associate Williams with winning or veteran dependability, even if that's ultimately what defined him on the court. Instead, he'll always be that flashy young point guard, the one who played on the same high school team as Randy Moss and became most famous for throwing a pass off his elbow in the Rookie Game, a contest as far removed from legitimate competition as humanly possible. Williams will forever defy the typical discussion of players as the sum of their accomplishments. In our minds, he'll always be White Chocolate, the rookie with a goofy haircut who was usually too flashy for his own good. Again, that's not who he was on the court for most of his career. Sometimes, though, it's more important to remember players for the flawed moments of joy they brought us than for the professional style they displayed later in their careers. A man's accomplishments only matter so much when his best moments created a legend. |

Celtics sweep Knicks, 101-89
Cs bench was better today than the previous 3 games combined and even though they got a bit lazy on defense, they held off the Knicks run to open up a late series killing run. |

Even though I'm disappointed the Knicks couldn't at least make it a series any Knicks fans have to be happy with the huge step they took this year.
They have their two core guys and now they can actually start adding some pieces around them in the offseason. |

Much respect to the New York crowd giving the Knicks an ovation for a making in this far into the NBA season. Much louder reaction than the Heat got for WINNING at home in Miami in their game two.
Heat will get theirs coming up in round two. |

Thought the Knicks had a chance their in the second half.. Dunno why people keep say "two superstars".. I mean Chauncy Billups is called "Mr. Big Shot" for a reason.. Not that he's worth $14.5 mill or whatever but that dude is super clutch and has ALOT of playoff experience..

He probably won't be on the team next year although it depends more on him and how much the cap space is for next season. I believe early numbers are showing the Knicks already used up 50-60% just on Melo and Amaire for next year.
Its rumored to be lower but around $58 million and much stricter in penalties for going over. The battle for the next CBA is going to be very ugly due to the owners wanting players to give them back some guaranteed money because the owners goofed up badly with the mega contracts and the idea of too many stars on a team. Loosing Billups vs the Celtics hurt the Knicks just like how Denver is missing him a lot in these playoffs. |

How was it bullshit??
I though it was gonna be a slaughter early but once the Hornets picked up the speed and transition game it was more their style game.. Kobe not scoring a point in the first half helped.. Wonder how bad his ankle is.. |

Westbrook took 2 shots towards the end of the 4th that were fucking abysmal. He definitely should've passed the ball in those instances. The second he finally did pass the ball, Durant drained a 3. I know that Durant isn't always going to be wide open for a 3 but Westbrook definitely had some options. He didn't have to force those awful looking shots. Probably cost them the game.

Really hoping the Hornets knock off the Lakers somehow. That would be incredible.
Would be ridiculous if New Orleans, Memphis, Portland, and Atlanta advanced. |
