Boston Can't Win On The Road

The Boston Celtics have lost all their road games so far in The Playoffs, including last night game in Cleveland. The Cavs went hard on Boston early in the game and took a double digit lead, from then it was all about Cleveland's dominance and Boston trying to catch up. James' supporting cast was also helpful, they contributed a lot to the win and complemented Lebron's performance.
Detroit didn't need Billups on this one, Hamilton and Prince both stepped up and lead the team to their 3rd win of the series. Orlando is facing elimination and the bad news is they are playing game 5 at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

ESPN reported last night that The New York Knicks agreed on a verbal agreement with Mike D'Antoni (former coach of Phoenix Suns) on a 4 year contract, reportedly 24 million dollars. You could tell there were some frictions between him and new GM Steve Kerr. Kerr refused to fire him after they were eliminated in the first round of the Playoffs (he was right) but the coach wanted to go in another direction. D'Antoni is an offensive coach (can't win The Playoffs without defense, ask Phoenix, Golden State and Denver), I don't see how he's going to solve The Knicks problem, but then again it's The Eastern Conference. Chicago tried to get him too, but they were too slow on the contract.

Highlights: Check out King James sick dunk and block during the game.
