This is a big game. If we go up 2-0 Boston has a lot of pressure. I really want to make this a quick series because we could use some rest in between rounds. I have a feeling that the pacers are gonna take care of the hawks rather quickly

Melo and KMart said this is a must win. I love that attitude. They're not getting complacent with a game 1 win. They know Boston is going to come out strong tonight. LETS GO!!!!!

The Knicks have been a really good home team so if that keeps up in the playoffs we should be fine. We didnt play particularly well in Gam1 and we still won. I expect the Knicks to have a much better game

Loved Melo's comments after game 1. "We didn't do anything. We protected home court, like we're supposed to."

I like Melo's mindset. You can tell he really wants it this year

We barely had a team the past two years.

Yep they became a formiddable team once they replaced dantoni and grunwald started working his magic surrounding Melobwith complimentary pieces. Too bad Amare is dead weight

You know what kills me, when I here the knicks haven't won a playoff series in more then a decade. They make it seem like this was the roster that failed to move pass the 1st round..

Aside from Amare (who wont suit up for this rnd) no one on the roster played on the team that boston beat in the playoffs just 2 seasons ago. 13 new players are getting the flack of 13 old players there are no longer on the team..

Knicks should beat this team in 5 maybe six if PP hits a buzzer beater.. Winning Game 1 and 2 means nothing..I'll never forget going up 2 games to none (the straks dunk) and then losing 4 straight..see Miami's first title

I think at this point EVERY game should be viewed by Melo and co. as a must win. This is the playoffs...WIN or STFU and GTFO.

The Knicks need to win convincingly so that we roll into the ECF with confidence and swagger. No long series with Boston and Indiana...convincing wins, tenacious D, amazing scoring.

Bring it mofos!

Agreed. We should win this series is 4 or 5 games. A convincing win tonight would pretty much destroy the celtics

Nuts! Can't watch the game until Friday due to work/travel. Like Melo & Kmart said, it's a just win game- game 3 in Boston is going to be very, very difficult due to emotion + refs.

Who knows which Jeff 'Two-Face' Green will show up. Hopefully Prigs gets our offense back on track.

Slightly of topic- did you know there are no videos on YouTube of our 2004 playoff series vs the nets? It was so awful it has been erased from history!

THe knicks need to male some adjustments.

More Melo in the high post at the elbow

More Melo off the ball

When Garnett is out Cope at the 5

And like the article stated Start the PnR further away from the basket.
