That was the most ridiculous run I've ever seen. Just couldn't break through, oh well.
 
Man I'm just happy that this is probably the last time we see this incarnation of the Celtics. Knicks!!!!!

I was at the game and I will say this, the Knicks are never going very far with Carmelo Anthony. He is just not good for a basketball team. I saw a graphic yesterday that he's been to the playoffs like 8 or 9 times and this is only the second time he's gotten out of the first round. I think there's a good reason for that. Him and J.R. Smith together are the kiss of death.

I didn't look at the box score but what did Anthony shoot tonight? Felt like 7-25 or so.

I kind of agree with you, but I just wanted to point out that George Karl was his coach for most of his career, and Karl is terrible. Especially recently, as seen in this year's Nuggets-Warriors series.

He's the only player in the NBA I believe besides the big three in San Antonio that has been to the playoffs every year he's been in the league that have played at least 5 years. His playoff record is horrible, but so was KG's prior to going to Boston. As a Knick fan I'm only concerned with what he does while on our team. Also, for the crap he gets for not getting out of the first round, George Karl has yet to get out of the first round since Melo was traded from Denver.

Most of the reason Karl never got out was because of melo..........and now Galinari was hurt or they would have won the 1st one..........Melo is a good scorer but not a good teammate........he's been something like 28 for his last 85 or something.........and look at the assists he's racking up.........overrated and the Knicks may be able to beat the Pacers but even that may be trouble!! Go Pacers:D

Eh, one game at a time. This season has been a blast so far. Melo is playing power forward and the offense is tailor made to run through him. It's really not his fault about this assist argument, if anything blame the coach. And he does swing the ball when he gets the double. I was listening the other day on the radio that Melo racks up a ton of hockey assists. It's the shot that's made the pass after Melo passes.

I disagree. Maybe Melo contributed to it, but Karl is probably the main reason those teams struggled in the playoffs.

Did you watch the Nuggets/Warriors series this year? His team did everything fundamentally wrong defensively in the game. The Nuggets kept doing basically all the wrong things that kept giving open shots to the Warriors. Andre Miller guarding Curry, going small ball against Bogut and Landry (starting Chandler at the 5), switching defensive assignments constantly, having both McGee and Koufos on the floor at the same time...

Chandler playing out of position at the 5 really hurt their team understanding where they needed to be. In previous instances, Karl would have McGee on Carl Landry and Miller guarding Barnes. In others, it's Miller on Klay with Iggy on Barnes. In this picture, Chandler jumps the high pick with Lawson to try and trap Curry near halfcourt, expecting help from McGee, but because McGee thinks he's still checking Landry, he doesn't even have time to look and see if Chandler's hedging on the trap, expecting him to be guarding Bogut. While this is definitely a failure of awareness by McGee to rotate over (surprise) it's very hard to give him too much blame when Karl is just throwing out these insane defensive assignments.

Edit: Also to add to the point, it was so bad that when Andre Miller was asked what happened in their series, he merely said "We got outcoached."

Edit2: Corey Brewer and Andre Miller combined to shoot 0-9 from three in game 6. They were 0-6 in game 5. 4-9 in game 4. 2-4 in game 3. 5-14 in game 2. 3-5 in game 1. Brewer is a career 30% 3 point shooter and Andre Miller is a career 21% 3 point shooter. 14-47 for the series, 29.7%.

This is absolute garbage and the only reason it happened is because George Karl was letting them shoot.
 
The whole "Karl & Melo and the first round exits" thing is so overblown for both people. Outside of Seattle in '94 Karl has taken his teams as far as they can go for the most part. He's never had anywhere near the top talent in the loaded West the last decade. Melo's teams in Denver never had much of a chance, they were clearly a notch below the heavyweights of the conference.
 
I think the Carmelo bashing is ridiculous. Melo's shoulder has clearly been bothering him (thanks to the classy move of Kevin Garnett: http://www.complex.com/sports/2013/05/kevin-garnett-tried-injuring-carmelo-anthony-gif). The Celtics are always a tough out and most people picked this series to go 5 or 6 games. It went 6, it's over, the Knicks won and were clearly the better team. Hopefully Garnett spends the offseason learning to shake hands and then retires.

The no Gallo excuse is weak, the Warriors lost Lee in Game 1 and he's a better player than Gallo, both teams were a man down. When one of your own players says you got outcoached, then thats not a good look.

Celts are done for a long time, thank you. Garnett sure is a classy guy with what he did to Melo. All this crap about the Celts talking Sox of 2004 turns out to be just stupid talk. The Knicks almost swept them, but I'm glad they did it in on the Celts home court!

The only problem with hanging Garnett as classless is you need to look at 50% of the NBA in that regard with cheap shots, smack talking etc etc..........

You're right, Rodman didn't give an F. The NBA is so soft nowadays that a guy like KG personifies tough. I wanna find some old film on KG vs Rodman, Oak and the other bruisers of the 90's.

KG is a punk. I'll give him credit for this though...he turned LeBron into an absolute ducking terminator after all the smack talk he dished out to him over 2 years.

You may be correct but 50% of the NBA isn't held out to be this model intense competitor while in reality being a cheap shot punk. Garnett is.

I'll enjoy the Knicks getting their butts stomped by either Indiana or destroyed by the Heat. Either way their success will be short lived.

Funny Knick fans find a way to hammer on Garnett, and he does deserve some, but the NBA is so full of worst people than Kevin Garnett - so much worst. The way you play in the NBA should not brand you as the person you are.......the NBA is full of punks on the court and he isn't even close to the one all of you worship - Chris Paul who is by FAR the biggest piece of crap on the basketball court!! But hey everyone needs some to hate!!

Kevin McHale will argue with all you!

CP3 is a dirty player, but he's not even in KG' realm of shear gery.

I have none.......Celtics fan and I watched about a total of an hour of the playoffs........not at all hurt about the C's not moving on this is not UConn........the Rangers going down 2-0 to the Caps hurts more and I am not a hockey fan either!! A league that has refs that make calls based on the last call and to make the "stars" happy is really not any fun to watch, more of a joke...........
