By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) The Lakers, who struggled mightily on defense for most of the game, trailed 37-26 after the first quarter. Early in the season, some commentators breathlessly raved about the Lakers' "new" defensive scheme but when I recently spoke with Lakers commentator Stu Lantz and Lakers assistant coaches Frank Hamblen and Jim Cleamons about the Lakers' defense they made several important observations: 1) Lantz said, "I really do like the Celtics’ defense because the Celtic defense is consistent for 48 minutes; regardless of the score, it is consistent for 48 minutes...I think that they (the Lakers) have a step to go to get to the Celtics’ level because of the consistency with which they play."

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) 2) Now that the Knicks will theoretically be able to sign two max contract players in 2010 there is speculation that they will try to pair LeBron James with Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh. Either of those combos certainly looks like a great dynamic duo--but history shows that NBA championships are not won merely by putting together two great players. In fact, sometimes even having three great players is not enough: Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor never won a championship together, though Chamberlain and West teamed up with Gail Goodrich to capture the 1972 crown right after Baylor retired. Oscar Robertson/Jerry Lucas, Wes Unseld/Earl Monroe and Karl Malone/John Stockton are three examples of pairings of members of the NBA's 5... [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) I would say the 6ers really have better defenders than the Celtics... The 6ers are much longer and more athletic than the Celtics. The Celtics play very good defense as a team but so do the 6ers... If the Knicks lose by ONLY 20 pointsI'd consider that a moral victory. I'm dead serious...... Q-rich is still not impressed with the Celtics I'm impressed. They are not letting the Celtics Uglify the game. Paul Pierce has always been a flailer and a chest pounder. Now he's also a defensive flopper. He's turning into a more annoying version of Reggie Miller. How have the Knicks gotten 20 more FT attempts than the Celtics? I don't care if it is the preseason. A win against the Cetics is always good. I hate the Celtics. [read the full post]

By FLCeltsFan Here are comments found around the Knicks boards during their game with the Celtics. As much as I dislike the Knicks, you have to feel for their fans. One day the Isiah reign of terror will be looked back on like the Pitino years in Boston. They have a good man in Walsh who can pull them out of it so that's a start. The fact that this team just lost to the Celtics bench is EXACTLY why people root for them to lose. They suck and deserve to lose, its that simple. How can you root for a team to win that cant even beat a Celtics bench? Last years draft reeks of a fix. It was Stern's middle finger to tankers.

Original at 20 Second Timeout
• Sun, Dec 23
By David Friedman The Lakers pulled away in the second quarter, outscoring the Knicks 24-16, as Bryant had five points and five assists. Frazier noted that a big reason that the Lakers are doing better this year is their improved defense and he contrasted that with the poor defense that the Knicks play: "This is how the Knicks get behind by double digits. They have offensive futility and then their defense can't contain the other club." The Knicks also had serious ballhandling problems in the first half, committing 13 turnovers. A big reason for the team's woes in all of these areas--"offensive futility," turnovers and poor defense--is that the Knicks do not have any reliable, legitimate point guards on the roster. Their most talented guards are not true poi... [read the full post]
