Knicks Basketball; Look I Know It's Only One Game, But a Helluva Opener it Was!

Go New York! Go New York ...Go New York , go! Woo hoo..Christmas Day, first NBA game on the slate, newly renovated Madison Square Garden and the Celts are in town against Stoudemire, "Melo" , Chandler and Company. Yes , the same Celts(a little bit older) who beat the Knicks 8 out of 8 last year and I believe they have stomped the Knicks 20 out of the last 22.
So when the Knicks blew a 17 point lead yesterday I was like "here we go again" . After watching the first two games of last years playoffs and the first half yesterday, I knew the Knicks could play with the Celts, but did they know how to put them away? That was the question in everyone's mind .
Well you know what? We got our answer yesterday . They could indeed play with
Garnett and Company", and yes in a close game they did get the "W"! The place was rocking like old times.
So many positive things can be taken from yesterday's matchup....Yes, you'll have to excuse me...I know it was just one game! Sixty five more to go.

Knick Fans get a Grip; Boston is a much better Matchup than Miami.

Let me start out by saying that I am excited and totally looking forward to the Knicks-Celtics first round matchup...not to mention the next 2 months of NBA Playoff Basketball. I truly believe "the Knick series" will be entertaining and competitive . Don't ask me if "competitive " means 1 win, 2 wins or more. Can't and won't predict! All week long on "sports talk radio " fans have been calling in saying "we match up better" with The Heat. Fans, get a grip! While Boston is Boston, and they still have "the big 4", they are older, hurt and not nearly as athletic as Miami. Allright, allright I know they have 3 Hall of Famers, play great team ball and lock you down in the 4th quarter. But the Heat are younger, faster, quicker, more athletic and have a "very hungry Lebron" and "a very hungry Wade ". Not to mention Bosch, who is looking to shine in this playoff opportunity. No, I just can't agree. I, ( in my wildest dreams), can see the Knicks beating the Celts in 7. But, no matter how hard I try I can't convince myself that we can "beat those studs from South Beach". Just can't. Anyway, sit back, let the palm moisture start....Cause Sunday night live from Boston...it's showtime!
