Hello and welcome to the 2013 NBA Playoffs Game 5 between our New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics!

Without JR Smith, suspended, New York couldn't finalize the sweep of Boston on their homecourt and lost in OT, extending the series to a game 5

Tonight it's time to put an end to this and send the Celtics on vacation. A loss tonight is unacceptable!


*** Fun fact ***
On May 1st 1994, New York defeats the Nets 90-81 at MSG in game two of the 1994 playoffs. Needless to say, the Knicks won the EC Finals that year!

Melo has to step up. So far he doesn't impress in this series: 40 FG%, 4.5 reb and 0 bl.

BALL DON'T LIE
Something seems off about our offense in the playoffs so far. The dependence on Melo to go 1-on-1 on probably 90% of our possessions is getting really old.

Ball movement needs to return. November Knicks unselfishness is needed if we really want to get a real shot against MIA. :gony:

Yea, but we really need Carmelo to get on track especially in the 4th quarters. We stick close for 3 quarters and 3 minutes, Melo needs to be the difference in the 4th quarter. Each possession is magnified and valued in the 4th. Every possession slows down to a snails pace.
