I’m watching this Knicks-Celtics game on ESPN and I can’t tell you how good it feels to see the Garden rocking again like it’s 1995. I’m not one to root for New York teams, but sometimes you get to a point where you need that hated team to be good again. It just makes the game more interesting. It’s been about 10 years since the Knicks were good. I rooted against them for all those years, but eventually, you want that team to be good again, so you can resume rooting against them. It’s just not as fun when teams like the Knicks, Lakers, and Celtics aren’t good. It helps that I have Amare Stoudemire and Wilson Chandler on my FIRST PLACE fantasy team (and Amare just threw down an emphatic dunk!), but it’s great to see Madison Square Garden getting loud for a game against the Boston Celtics. Guys like Amare and Raymond Felton are probably enjoying their best days as professional basketball players.
The Knicks are like the Yankees, the Cowboys, or even the Cubs…. You hate them, but it’s just not as fun to hate them when they’re not good. So here’s hoping the Knicks make it back to the playoffs this year, but ONLY this year. They’ll probably need to pick up a few more guys I don’t like though. Because, all these former Warriors and guys on my fantasy team are making it hard.

Yeeeaaah, Pierce! (But that last-second after-the-buzzer shot was scary!)

It’s good to see the Knicks back on track and winning again …. next up for them I believe are the Heat . So that should also provide a good test for them .
Unfortunately that was a gut wrenching loss to the Celtics last night . Stoudemire played lights out basketball and has been a big difference to the organization.

Man that was the best game of the year so far. Garden was rocking.

That was an awesome game. Amare is proving he was worth that $100M!

Like everyone else, I went through my Knick-hating phase. They were easy to hate back in the day.
But I’m glad to see them relevant again.
They’re not too many puzzle pieces away from being really damn good. And it wouldn’t surprise me to see them land those pieces.
But props to Amare who was the first big name to take that gamble.
