Growing up playing sports, I was always taught - "There is no 'I' in 'team'." I wish they taught this more often in professional sports. While basketball teams are significantly smaller in the number of players than lacrosse teams, one must realize you still can't spell team with the letter 'i'.
Apparently, the Knicks aren't only struggling with spelling....
Despite Carmelo Anthony's 42 points in the Knicks fell to the Boston Celtics 96-93 on Tuesday night. The Knicks' loss put them down 0-2 in the first round playoff series.
Anthony's 28.5 points per game average did not stand a chance against Celtics forward Kevin Garnett. Garnett stole the ball from Knicks forward Jared Jefferies in the last 6 seconds and made the shot in addition to two free throws.
Back spasms left the also Knicks without power forward Amar'e Stoudemire for the entire second half. Stoudemire has scored an average 16 points per game in the 2011 playoff series.
The struggle to secure a win proved too difficult for the New York Knicks. Garnett and the Celtics stole the win - literally. It's easy to say this proves there truly is no 'I' in 'team'.
