Refs screw Melo again... This time they injure him... Melo stepped in refs foot... He is out if the game now. BOS guarding KP with Smart and Knicks spend 3 possessions without looking for KP posting the guard up. Bad.

Conley would also be great.

Calderon's an NBA player, and he might be doing more for this team than we realize, but yeah, a good, younger, athletic PG would be beneficial, especially in today's NBA.

True. Leadership helps. Would be ideal as a backup.

5 possessions now NY fail to take advantage of guarding KP with a 6"4' guard.

With no Melo. Lead cut to 4.

KP on bench with foul trouble. Melo hurt. BOS poised to run right by us... This could get ugly.

That's the other thing about Calderon how many times he switches and gets stuck with a bad mismatch. The guy has to go.

BOS just going right at Calderon. Whoever he guards is getting the ball and the shot. NYK still have the lead tho... With this winnable game and another game tomorrow... Bad time for Melo to sprain his ankle. He played so well the first half. We had a win in the pocket... Now we're gonna have to scratch and claw to get it bc BOS will fight to the last second tonight.

It's official: sprained right ankle... Melo will not return

Calderon takes a terrible shot (second shot of game) then IT blows right by him... Affalo scored 10 this quarter... NYK just give BOS the ball... Ugly pass.

IT has 11 this quarter... 26 total.

Watching how dynamic the little dude Thomas is playing for Boston, I can't help but wonder if we could get that same type of play outta Bryce Cotton. He's available...

Make that 16 this quarter and 31 so far for IT. No ball movement without KP and Melo. 83-81 with 27 seconds left in the 3rd.

If they put this Marcus Smart on KP again, we gotta position KP as close to the hoop as possible. I know he can hit some 3s and put it on the floor a little but that's where I'd prefer to see him anyway.

Grant turns the clumsy and aimless into something fortunate as he sank a shot at the buzzer...

We need somebody to control the flow and demand ball movement.

Up 4 but BOS nipping at our heels... We're gonna need LT-DW-KP and AA to carry us home or else this wil be a Loss. IT will approach 50 with a big fourth quarter.
