The Knicks Celtics game actually was a whole lot worse than the actual score showed.
Knowing how bad NY played, it was umbelievable to see they were still in this one.
The starters just aren't playing well together, there's no chemistry, it's Lin bringing up the ball passing off to either Amare or Melo and the shot goes up while everyone's standing around, it's looking just like the old Knicks before Linsanity!! You can even see at times Lin is not happy playing like this.
Chandler and Fields are disappearing, where were they yesterday?
The more I see Lin play the more I'm realizing he's not a true point guard, he's more of a combo guard and is by far at his best when he's attacking the rim and drawing fouls or dishing it off to an open teammate.
I really thought yesterday he was finally waking up in the 4th when he scored 6 points in a row (could've been 7 had he made both free throws), after the last free throw he made an ill advised pass that could've turned into a turnover but quickly recovered and drove in for a layup, shortly after he was open for a 3 in the corner and nailed it.
I know deep inside he was dying to take that final shot and I think he should have, since Amare and Melo returned he's deferred a lot to them and it has greatly affected his game.
But most important they were supposed to be better with those 2 back and it's not showing!
Amare's knees much be catching up to him cuz he has no more lifts!!
I'm not liking where this team is going, so much talent and potential but it's not showing outhere on the floor, heck the 2nd unit is playing much better!
Besides that I'm not taking anything away from Boston, Pierce and Rondo were phenomenal, they made plays when it counted while NY didn't.
