If the Knicks rebound well, do not give up second opportunities, play smart and execute well on offense, I believe anything is possible. Especially if the Celtics keep on relying on the three-ball.

Go Knicks!

This game 1 win will be a bigger win any game the Nets win for at least the next 5 years. So Nets fans really shouldn’t be talking smack about Mikal Bridges lol.

Ok, the C’s may shoot better next game, but what if some of their best players are in foul trouble and they get cooked on the other end? You can’t extrapolate anything.

So far, the Knicks are in control.

You could argue the Knicks played terrible too. Towns and hart quick foul trouble, Down 20 at one point in the game, 54% from the free throw line as a team.

Knicks Willed themselves to this win and were the better closers.

Considering that all them picks will be in the low 20s so value-wise pretty worthless.

Second best shooting 7/20 and 1/10 from 3? At some point you have to stop shooting the 3....

OG needs more love… ppl often talk about Brunson, KAT, and Mikal but OG has probably been our 2nd best player since the All Star break… I know Brunson missed a lot of those games but he’s still our best player lol

Rite, just like coming back from 20 down was highly doubtful and going up 1-0 was highly doubtful, I hope the Celtics come out FIRING 3's wed night, the Knicks play D the way they did that second half and the C's are in a lot of trouble
