I'm pretty sure they don't broadcast nationally televised games on League Pass

Unless it's different because you live in a different country

Knicks offense is really clicking right now which is good to see. Good 1st quarter with 34 points.

wut? it's the international League Pass and as far as I know you can watch every single game on there. shit's expensie enough usually, just free through january 9th.

Already had the window with the media player open but as soon as it hit 12pm everything broke down.

I didn't know they made an International League Pass, the rules are probably different from the regular ones then here in the States.

My League Pass works, I can't watch any games on it but it loads.

Amare 2-2 from 3 lol.

I've been really impressed with Rondo so far. He's knocking down his FT's and he's making shots. Love the way he's able to draw body contact, reminds me of Wade with the way he's able to position himself to draw the fouls. Three steals already too.

The rest of the Celtics have looked pretty bad though, they're getting eaten alive on the glass and KG is really struggling to defend Amar'e.

Knicks looking real nice as I expected, but this is just our first game and it's far from over. Amar'e extended his range and is stroking it from deep. Shumpert could be an effective scorer if he picked his spots better. he's connected well on good shots, but the shots he's missed were all bad shots. He needs to only put the ball up when he has it. Team looking overall good by "fresh off the lockout" standards.

 

[MR.ballin]

Rondo is carrying the Celtics.

wasn't everybody whining because the Knicks would be wearing green? wat nao?

 

[lonesomefx]

Shumpert doesn't get the memo. #PICK #YOUR #SHOTS

I'm disappointed that they're not wearing them. I was pro Knicks wearing green the whole time

Damn this has been a helluva Christmas already

I havent seen us play this fluent on offense, and try as hard on defense since the Allan Houston/Latrell Sprewell days

I like the fact Shumpert has been looking for his own shot, we dont need the team scared of shooting because we have Melo and Amare.

He's looked good IMO

 

[elcheato]

The fact that he looks for his shot so much is his hindrance.. He can't score.

He's one of the reasons Favors looked so bad at GT, cause he never got the ball.

It's not about being scared though. It's about being smart. In the postseason, if he does this we lose. If he's not gonna get the buckets, why continue forcing it? He's wasting possesions by missing shots and hurting our FG%. He's not scoring efficiently. He's acting as if he's our number 1 option on offense. He needs to cool it down a little.

I agree with this 90%. I won't say he can't score tho. He can score if he picks his spots better and doesn't put the ball up at the wrong times.

In other news, I still find it funny how the crowd groaned when Jeffries shot the deep jumper, and then he made it haha. When he bent his knees I said "who is that?" all jokes aside lmao. I was surprised to be honest, and even more surprised when it went in.

 

[dez]

I havent seen him play until now, and he's looked good driving and his form looks good but just hasnt been able to consistently hit his jumper

You know more about him then I do but he's looked good out there so far.
