It goes without saying that I hate the Celtics when they're playing the Knicks. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than when the Knicks beat the Celtics. And Walt Frazier quipped, "This one feels like old times!"
The Knicks had significant leads during this game and finally succumbed to the Celtics on a blown non-call by the referees in the last seconds of the game. Kevin Garnett got away with a trip and shove of a Knick defender [Chandler] and David Lee abandoned Garnett to leave him open for a wide-open jump shot to win the game. Heart-breaking.
Curry looked good for the Knicks and added considerable muscle to the Knicks under the boards. An unnecessary but thoroughly satisfying shove of a pestering Rhodo went a long way in re-establishing the idea that the Knicks are not to be toyed with anymore.
Lee and Harrington continue their enigmatic patterns of good game/expect-the-unexpected play. At time sthe Knicks defense was outstanding. At other times the Celtics ran up big leadsThat had to be overcome.
Duhon and Chandler need to stop shooting and pick the few shots they should take carefully.
The Celtics looked awful. Garnett was limping and his knee looks questionable.
Rasheed looked awful and the team as a whole looked like it was floating downstream. They will be lucky to make the playoffs this year.

Necessities
Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
