KNICKSED

Second of a back-to-back, tonight Rondo won't play.
Melo says Phil won't affect his decision to stay!
Despite tough losses, in these Celtics there's no quit,
Speaks to the character of the guys who are part of it.

Best: Offensive Rebounding, that's our spot--
Doesn't that mean we just can't make a shot?
Three threes for Melo, then BAYLESS FOR THREE!
Knicks are scoring at will, Cs are playing soft D.

JOHNSON FOR THREE! Cs went on a 6-0 run,
Not enough to get much done.
Knicks making threes, what can the Cs do?
Cs within 12 to start Q2.

Hump is a beast! Pressey adds pace.
Gotta do something to light up our place!
Good vision, Pressey, he's very good with the pass,
Memorable play--one of very few!--Pressey to Bass.

Cs a miserable night,
Knicks doing everything right!
Knicks a 68-point half, it's "reigning" (9 of 10) threes,
Within 20 end Q2 are our Rondo-less Cs.

Doesn't the Law of Averages say things have to change?
We need Green--someone!!--to find his range.
BAYLESS FOR THREE! PRESSEY FOR THREE!
HUMP'S A BEAST! Great block! Great D!

GREEN FOR THREE! GREEN FOR THREE!
Cs c'mon--missing the throws that are free?
GREEN FOR THREE! THIS IS THE GREEN WE WANT!
Leading the Cs--deserves capital letter font!

Lead cut in half, Cs within 10 end Q3.
Pressey has potential--needs that League with a D.
Brad always tells the guys to play the next play,
I guess Melo paid attention to what Brad had to say.

BAYLESS FOR THREE! BAYLESS FOR THREE!
Still, and always, a little fight in every C.
That goes for Brad, too; up he keeps his chin.
Cs end down 24. Love the Nets over Heat win!
