No I think they spread the games out so that every playoff game of every series can be televised.

cant stand it. 1 week in and only will have 3 games complete vs boston. hope the off time doesnt allow the knicks to cool off too much (hoping the reg season play carries over).

Pablo Prigioni is listed as questionable for Game 1 against the Celtics on Saturday after suffering a sprained right ankle in the regular season finale.

If Prigioni is unavailable Mike Woodson could return Jason Kidd to the starting lineup or promote James White, who started 16 games.

Prigioni, a 35 year old rookie guard, started the last 18 games and the Knicks went 16-2 in those starts.

I read somewhere else that he was considering starting Cope. Shump looked good playing the point last night so that line up might work.

I agree Shump looked good until he forgot he wasn't in Rucker Park. Some of those passes were unwise to put it nicely, but he's finishing better than he has in a while. Just needs more seasoning.

Cope has shown a lot lately. I like the fact that he's becoming more versatile and harder to predict. He's going to have to keep teams like Boston guessing because Boston will use his lack of playoff experience against him if he's too predictable.

We know Pierce/Melo/K.G. will be who they are but this series can go either way. My gut tells me Celtics in 6 but I do feel they are vulnerable to be beaten.

Really dude? Really?

1st rnd is always like that, what I hate is the fact that the knicks always get the 1st game. If we lose I'm not interested in watching none of the other playoff games, but if we win i'll atleast watch a few other games...Am I the only one who feels like this?

Nah, I do the same thing

Me too. This past season, after the Giants missed the playoffs, I didn't watch a single game until the NFC/AFC championships. It was just too painful.
