The Knicks played 82 games to assure themselves of home court in the first round, and now is the time when that home court will hopefully pay off. Win here, and be just a single win from the second round, against a Celtics team that is suddenly sputtering a bit (or, in the alternative, just dealing with a spicy Sixers team).
Win this series, beat the Celtics, and then beat, like, the fucking Raptors for the Eastern Conference title.
Just do it.*
Let’s go, Knicks!
Getting my kicks with the Knicks winning in six!
*Note that I mean for the Knicks to just win the game. I am not signaling to any theoretical person to attack anyone.

Don’t ask me why, but my gut is telling me we win the next two and take the series.
I’m usually wrong about things but I am duty-bound to report my prophecies honestly — this is what the basketball gods have told me.
Same. Well, the prediction part.
Happy Birthday, Doogie. May you stay forever young.
Thank you, sir—doing my best, and hope you are, as well.
Let’s go, Knicks!
