Celtics Steal Another Win Against Knicks in Game 2 (MELO GOES OFF FOR 42 PTS.)

Well, that was interesting. I almost had another heart attack watching the end of Game 2 but at least the Celtics pulled off another win. They really have no business winning either of these games based on how they've been playing but I'll take it. Something is just off and if the C's don't wake the F up, they are in for a rude awakening for Game 3 & 4 at MSG. That place is going to be on fire and if they aren't ready for it, the C's could get blown out in either game and could easily coming back to Boston tied 2-2. Wake up!!!

At least the C's had a big lead in Game 2 at one point unlike Game 1 but they quickly pissed that away at the end of the 3rd quarter and let Carmelo Anthony take the game over. He almost won the game by himself with Amare and Billups out. He threw up 42 points and 17 rebounds and it seemed like he couldn't be stopped. I don't know how the Celtics didn't take advantage of the Knicks thin bench and lack of height.

I have no idea why Big Baby Davis was in the game for so long either. He was playing horribly and was getting torched by the quicker and more athletic Knicks front court. Doc is a fool for not bringing Jermaine O'Neal back in the game for some rebounding and defense. He would have kept Carmelo out of the paint a little more and he certainly would have had some rebounds. The Celtics were just slapping at the ball instead of grabbing it and allowed the Knicks at least 3 or 4 extra possessions in the last 2-3 minutes which almost allowed the Knicks to pull off the win.

I just don't get why you wouldn't take advantage of your height if you know the other team has no big men to match up. Doc always reacts to the other team instead of doing what is best for his team which is using the best talent available. He's trying to play chess when all he needs to do is play checkers. Keep it simple Doc! You aren't that smart.

I also don't know why Carmelo made this pass at the end of the game because he should have been taking the last shot, even if it was forced. The way he was playing, there is a much better chance of him throwing up a bomb and it going in than Jeffries scoring on Garnett. KG stepped up and made a great defensive play to save the game. THANK GOD.
