I don't see us winning this one mainly due to the emotional boost for boston + nba ref's. You'll be able to tell if the game is rigged early on as they'll call Melo for 2 quick fouls.
Putting that aside, we need to get our offense back on track- game 2 was better than game 1 in that we had several players have a little scoring run before passing it onto the next guy. Still it would be nice if more than one player was capable of scoring at any one time. Although I'm not optimistic, I'd love, LOVE us to sweep Boston! |

We protected homecourt, but that wasn't all that surprising. This here is a statement game, you simply know that Boston is going to come out strong and they will fight to the last breath. This game IS Boston's whole season. Let's put our foot on the gas !

Anything could happen but the only teams that I think will challenge us are Miami and the top 3 or 4 from the west. Maybe Indiana but I think we're significantly better than they are. |

We have the better team.
Lets play like it. Boston must take more than a 20 point lead to demoralize us, and if that comes to pass, we will punch back We have three guards who can manage the floor, including a healthier Prigioni Raymond Felton sticking to Paul Pierce like a piece of gaffers tape is huge once a knick always a knick

Need to win at least 1 of the next 2 and bury these mother****ers.
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come

Any updates on Garnett. I read yesterday that Doc didn't have him practice because if he got hit/bumped his injury was very painful.

Time for Tyson to step up. I understand he is getting over some rust but if tyson is on his game this game will be ours |

If we go up 3-0 its pretty much over I agree, Knicks win tonight and Boston will have the weight of the world on their shoulder for Sundays game. Boston wins tonight, they have enough momentum/heart to make it very tough Sunday. Get Garnett in foul trouble again, hold down Pierce and the young guys will wilt under the playoff pressure. https://www.youtube.com/user/RPreston01/videos

Need to start the PnR going early in the 1st. Also, late in the game the Celtics started trapping MElo will they continue that or gho back to playing him straight up. Melo had 71 points on 57 shots and the rest of the team has 107 points on 107 shots. I also hope that Copeland, Novak, and Chandler can wake up. The trend tends to be that the role players step up at home but hopefully the knicks role players can step up away from NY. Not calling Tyson a role player.

Doc: "You can make the case that the guy who's been the most important for them has been Raymond Felton. He's just beating us right now." I'm tired,I'm tired, I'm so tired right now......Kristaps Porzingis 1/3/18

C'mon Knicks, make it 3-0 and you're pretty much in the 2nd round...just need to keep up the defense and hopefuly have a better offensive performance.
Ray-ray, Melo, K-Mart and JR are gonna be key. |
