I'm dying to read about the Broncos long snapper.

Poetic RT @WallaceNBA_ESPN LeBron on challenge of slowing Durant: "It's not secondary, it's first-dary" amid context of winning game vs OKC

I'd rather read a story about the NFL writers moaning about how "tough" their job is. In fairness, there are eight road games per season.

Quality celebrity sighting on 51st Street: Chelsea Clinton. (She gave me a "no comment" on whether Carmelo is staying).

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/28/2014 9:44:34 PM
Melo hasn't missed. He's 4-4 with 10 points.

by Baxter Holmes via twitter 1/29/2014 1:03:17 AM
The Celtics have 15 points, btw.

by Baxter Holmes via twitter 1/29/2014 1:03:28 AM
End 1Q: Knicks 31, Celtics 15. Melo: 4-4 w/ 11 points.

by Baxter Holmes via twitter 1/29/2014 1:05:58 AM
Gain but pain. Iman Shumpert has a sprained right shoulder and is questionable to return.

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 1:06:08 AM
#knicks lead #celtics 31-15 after 1. Carmelo with 11 points and the Celtics just look uninterested

by gary washburn via twitter 1/29/2014 1:06:12 AM
The powers that be have Knick City Dancers only perform to Broadway numbers. We could use LaLa or Richard Sherman to run the Marketing Dept.

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 1:07:16 AM
Give Danny Ainge credit. Celtics started out well thus forcing him to make moves to assure Boston of ending up in draft lottery. A good plan

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 1:14:35 AM
After the #celtics go on a 2-0 run, #knicks coach Mike Woodson calls timeout and he should be concerned with as bad as Celtics are playing

by gary washburn via twitter 1/29/2014 1:18:48 AM
Tanking or no tanking, the Celtics performance is disgraceful.

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 1:18:48 AM
Celtics won by 41 when these teams last played here. Knicks now lead by 21.

by Baxter Holmes via twitter 1/29/2014 1:19:01 AM
Meanwhile, Jeremy Tyler is eating up Kelly Olynyk, not a good sign #celtics

by gary washburn via twitter 1/29/2014 1:21:31 AM
Halftime: Knicks a lot, Celtics not much. (Technically, the Knicks lead 63-37).

by Baxter Holmes via twitter 1/29/2014 1:40:31 AM
James Dolan just walked to the locker room & had Allan Houston, Steve Mills, Mark Warkentien and Lisa Callahan follow him. Something is up.

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 1:40:50 AM
#celtics trail #knicks 63-37 at halftime and it was as bad if not worse than that

by gary washburn via twitter 1/29/2014 1:41:19 AM
Maybe Jim Dolan is asking them "should we believe La La."

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 1:41:49 AM
Or Jim Dolan could be saying "if anyone asks just tell them I was here when Carmelo scored 62."

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 1:43:02 AM
That announcement is next week RT@WFANAudio
@FisolaNYDN "I wanted to be the first to tell you that we've agreed to terms with Mike Francesa"

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 1:44:45 AM
The Knicks largest win ever vs. the Celtics was by 37 points. Right now, the Knicks lead by 26 at halftime.

by Baxter Holmes via twitter 1/29/2014 1:51:07 AM
The Celtics' biggest win over the Knicks ever was this game: es.pn/1a08Tl6

by Baxter Holmes via twitter 1/29/2014 1:51:54 AM
Suddenly Beno has been listed as "ill, not available" by the Knicks. That could be code for he's getting traded.

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 1:56:53 AM
On the basketball court. RT @MrTrpleDouble10 @tvabby to Brad Stevens: "Where are the defensive breakdowns happening?" Stevens: "Everywhere."

by Baxter Holmes via twitter 1/29/2014 1:57:14 AM
James Dolan and his under bosses are not back in their seats as the second half begins.

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 1:57:57 AM
This is how Knicks - in the post Knicks City Dancers era -- decide on entertainment. What can we do to annoy folks & make them leave early.

by Frank Isola via twitter 1/29/2014 2:27:13 AM
#celtics trail #knicks 86-59 at the end of 3Q. No #celtics stats to really mention. Melo with 24 and Jeremy Tyler with 11

by gary washburn via twitter 1/29/2014 2:27:18 AM
Well at least Chris Johnson is getting his buckets, just hits another 3 #celtics

by gary washburn via twitter 1/29/2014 2:31:47 AM
Metta World Peace checking in for the #knicks , this should make the last 7:34 interesting

by gary washburn via twitter 1/29/2014 2:36:57 AM
And Chris Johnson hits another 3-pointer, he now has 4 for the evening #celtics #dayton

by gary washburn via twitter 1/29/2014 2:39:02 AM
"The Celtics are a great defensive-minded team so we took what the defense gave us & knocked down open shots." - Hardaway Jr., confusing us.

No Rondo tonight

by Baxter Holmes via twitter 1/29/2014 10:47:58 PM
Celtics' Rajon Rondo will not play tonight vs. #Sixers

by Christopher A. Vito via twitter 1/29/2014 10:48:08 PM
No Rondo tonight for #celtics .

Cape Cod kettle chips at halftime. TD Garden, you're the best.

by Christopher A. Vito via twitter 1/30/2014 1:54:00 AM
Who needs Miami/OKC when you've got Sixers/Celtics, right?

by Christopher A. Vito via twitter 1/30/2014 2:03:07 AM
Brandon Bass dunk pulls Celtics within one possession. Not too long ago, this was a 14-point game.

by Christopher A. Vito via twitter 1/30/2014 2:03:41 AM
Attn: @sportsdoctormd @NXTMatt @JackMcCaffery RT @ESPNStatsInfo : Kevin Durant needs 2 points to reach 30 for the 12th straight game.

by Christopher A. Vito via twitter 1/30/2014 2:06:02 AM
Jared Sullinger just gifted the Sixers a possession...after the Sixers burned the shot clock & their best shot was a Turner 25-foot airball

by Christopher A. Vito via twitter 1/30/2014 2:08:27 AM
The Sixers aren't playing like they want to win. But the Celtics are playing like they REALLY don't want to win.
