Pierce because he was once again The Boss. Orchestrated our offense whenever he was on the floor, just an amazing game from the captain.

KG could easily get it as well, got into Melo's head, played GREAT defense, and also was great at finding the open man.

Bradley played amazing defense as well, truly a game changer there at the guard spot which is just so rare.

Green, Lee, Barbosa, Sully all deserve a shout out as well, played great in the first quarter to get us back in the game when we were down 8-18 or something, and continued to play well in the third.

Great ***** team win, the Celts are back baby

If you look across the rosters of every NBA team you won't find many who fit in the 'greatness' category like Paul Pierce. Matter of fact I think only KG, Dirk, Kobe, Kidd and Nash fit the bill. Other will soon. You need to relax and realize this is sports. I find it funny how pussy you NYK fans are right now. Embrace the rivalry and toughness and the chipyness. This is basketball..I know most of you haven't really ever seen your team win a playoff series or even a playoff game, but this is what playoff basketball is. This is what it's all about. If Melo did the same to our fans your panties would be wet right now. Grow a pair..


I'm coming to Rio to high 5 Bruno on this one. Maybe you can hook me up with some of those Brazilian hotties too....

the lineup with Bradley /Lee/ Green/ KG/ Sully was unstoppable during the 3rd quarter run , if those guys had closed out the game, we probably would have won by 10+

as I live in BK now-this win is even sweeter to watch. Truth set us free over the bitches.

Melo will always be a bitch, and that's why he will never win anything. He was lucky he wasn't thrown out tonight.

Can you blame Knicks fans though, between the things Rondo does to them and the things Pierce does to them, how do you not end up traumatized.

I am reporting you to your mods & our mods. What you wrote is pure filth.

Admire & respect him - if you had ANY class at all. Do NOT wish an injury on anyone!

Can't stand how the Knicks play. Live by the three die by the three. I hope we meet in the playoffs so we can pull the brooms out. Pierce is just phenomenal to come into the game again after he's been sitting with foul trouble. Just a cold blooded assassin in late game situations.

I voted Green just based on the game but the way PP and KG got into their heads was so underrated.

And I have a new sig.

Great, gritty team win. Hard to pick just one, but I went with the Truth. He made up for his early foul trouble big time. Loved what we saw from the bench with Lee, Sully and esp. Green. Hope JG learns how to play this way more consistently. Bass also had a solid game. His jumper has reappeared with his starting gig. And I just love what Saviory Bradley brings to this team.

Also, the Lee/Bradley defense is officially scary, those guys were absolutely hounding the Knicks guards, it was a joy to watch them on the floor together

When Bradley get's his shot back this team is gonna be extremely tough to beat. The only teams we really should be focused on beating is the heat. Once the Knicks come down to earth it's gonna be the Celtics and the Heat battling it out in the conference finals.

One thing that I really like about Bradley compared to Lee and Terry is that he has been aggressively looking for his shot where the other two have been kind of passing a lot up and overall messing up the offense. Bradley doesn't dick around (as long as he is not the PG). He makes his decision and thats that.
