Landry Fields is keeping a daily playoff diary for The Post, as the 22-year-old rookie shooting guard chronicles his first- ever postseason series, the Knicks’ first-round battle with the Celtics and more. As told to Mark Hale.

BOSTON — I wanted to be more aggressive. Next game, I’m going to have to be intelligent aggressive, rather than just going out there trying to make plays. Kind of letting it come to me and then being aggressive when I have the opportunities.

It is tough, because I don’t want to let my teammates down or let any of the New York Knicks fans down. I apologize. I’ll be better.

This [96-93] loss is real tough. A lot of guys played really hard. Especially down the stretch. You’re proud of them for doing that, but it’s tough to come away with a loss like this. I think we’re pretty confident going home. I think these are two games that we could have stolen away. We could easily be up 2-0 right now. So all we’ve got to do is protect home court now.

Carmelo [Anthony’s] performance was outstanding. He took us on his shoulders. I don’t know, what was it, 40 and 20? [He scored 42 points and had 17 rebounds.] Something like that. Hats off to him for helping us out like that. I’ve seen STAT [Amar’e Stoudemire] do some things like that. We’ve got guys like Melo and STAT, they can have a night like that, which only benefits us.

Hopefully Amar’e’s all right. He’s an intricate part of our offense, the one-two punch with him and Melo. Hopefully he’ll be back by the next game.

If we don’t have Amar’e and Chauncey [Billups], that’s two big losses, but I don’t think we’re going to hold our heads down because [last night] I thought we played great.
