I guess i was dead wrong. Game 6 is in Boston and the Celtics now have all the momentum. Time for the Knicks to show some heart and toughness

This is the problem, the essential point of last night's loss:

Knicks lost all momentum they developed at the end of the Regular Season, and at the same time Boston gained a full head of steam,

this is the definition of a tipping point; let's hope we have enough left to slide through to the Second Round.

The Knicks should win. They have the talent, the star and they are relatively healthier than Boston.

But the game has to be played and the Knicks have to show poise and maturity. They do and they exorcise this annoying Celtics demon.
