I'm glad their starters are playing. Good test for us before the playoffs.

This will be a good opportunity to see how Thibs will plan for Porzingas.

If Tatum and Brown want to take contested shots all game against Josh and OG, that's fine. I'm not giving KP wide open threes.

Even if Thibs gets it 100% wrong tonight it should wake him up regarding the playoffs.

Last several games Mazzulla has been resting the starters in the 4th quarter and creating a situation where it's garbage time for the C's but not the other team. So if the game is close and he does that again you guys will have a good chance to get the win.

My gut tells me he wouldn't do that tonight but we'll see. I think y'all are coming out swinging tonight.

It's weird because we've been playing most of our main guys in recent games, which indicates we care and want to win them, but also resting the starters in the 4th even when the game is close, which indicates we don't care about winning the game haha. Been that way for over a week now I think.

Basically the C's want to practice stuff in real games situations to prepare for the playoffs and not have everyone sit and get rusty, but at the same time they are limiting their minutes and not really caring about getting the win when it comes down to it at the end of the game.

But who knows what will happen tonight. I won't be surprised if you guys get the win regardless of all that. Just no injuries plz!

We promise as Knicks fans who have no influence whatsoever to not injure or even foul Celtics players if Celtics fans who also have no influence promise to not injure any of the Knicks players but just let the Knicks win the game, too...because you don't want to see us in the second round anyway either...dealio? Among us that have no influence... :lol:
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.
