Excitement was running high follow two heartbreaking looses in Boston against the Celtics. The Knicks were back home and Amar'e Stoudemire was slated to play. The crowd was amped.
But once the game started, the Celtics jumped out to a 22-5 lead. I decided to shed my road Larry Johnson jersey in favor of my home Ewing jersey. The Knicks reeled off an 11-1 run.
But New York simply didn't guard the three well enough. They turned the ball over too much and didn't work to get good shots. The result was a thorough beating in the Knicks' first home playoff game in seven years and a 3-0 deficit in the first round series.
Amar'e wasn't himself. Landry Fields has played minimally, and quite poorly when he is in. Chauncey Billups's injury has been devastating. Carmelo Anthony has been inconsistent in making his teammates better. All of that adds up to a tough series thus far.
