Welcome Back, Knicks Enthusiasts! Happy Opening Week for the NBA and every day the Knicks play is Knicksmas!! Knicks look to set the tone for the season opening at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Game 1 of 82 is tonight at 7p from MSG. If you can, watch the game on MSG and skip ESPN.

The Brunson era has been marked by both historic league and team performances. Knicks just might be the first team to come back from 0-2 at home. #BelieveinNYK

Another nail biter, fam. Another win after being down by 20. Defense reigns supreme and KAT gets aggressive. Knicks win by +6 +6 3PM +7 3PA +14.4 3P% +8.2 FT% +3 OREB +8 PITP #Knicks #KnicksSky

This one hurts. Knicks missed 12 FTs, were +8 in TOV which led to -23 points off TOV. They played with their food and got burned. Still, if they'd have missed 11 FTs they could've won. Smh.

To win, the Knicks must: Play 48 min of DEF, limit TOV & grab DREB to contain fast breaks, dominate OREB to capitalize on 2nd Chance Points. Knicks are +5.1 OREB & +7.5 2ND PTS > the Pacers. But -3.6 in DREB & give up only -0.3 FBP than Pacers score. Check out the tables below for more insight.

The ECF are back and the Knicks are right where they belong! They understand the moment and they understand the assignment. The Knicks are arguably the more talented team and let's hope they prove to be the better team and win this series, punching their ticket to the #NBAFINALS

Put respect on the Knicks' name. 💪🏾 No one picked them to win. Many fans thought they would lose. 🤫🤫🤫🤫 This team doesn't quit. Capt. Crunchtime will steal the opponent's ♥️ AND Coach Thibs knows more basketball than you do. 😤

Knicks clinch the ECF @ HOME in dominating fashion by +38!! +11 FGM +5 FGA +10.2 FG% +4 3PM +5 3PA +5.5 3P% +12 FTM +11 FTA +20.5 FT% +19 TREB +6 OREB +12 DREB +6 AST +3 STL +3 BLK -2 TOV +14 PTS OFF TOV +15 FBP +14 PITP Knicks completely mopped the floor with them. 🎉🎊🎈✨🧨🎇🎆🧡💙🧡💙

🚨KNICKS WIN BY +3🚨 +13 FGA +12 FGM +6.2 FG% +12 TREB +6 OREB +6 DREB +10 AST +32 PITP But tell me how Knicks only got 12 FTs on 64 PITP while Cs got 26 FTs on 32 PITP⁉️⁉️ 5 on 8 and the Knicks STILL WON! 🎉🎊🎆🎇🎉🧡💙

Knicks up 3-1 after 4 games! Our road warriors have a chance to close it out in game 5. But ppl still want to tell you it's not what the Knicks are doing but what the Celtics aren't doing. Those ppl can go jump in a lake. 😤

Knicks win by +1!! Now riding a 5 game winning streak on the road. +3.0 FGM +6.8 FG% +4.0 3P% +1.0 DREB +2 AST +2 STL +5 FBP Rejoice fam, the next 2 are at MSG✨🎊🎉🎇🎆

OG Anunoby's Game 1 Performance: 29 Pts 3 AST / 3 TOV 4 REB / 1 STL 50.0 FG% 54.5 3P% 75.0 FT% OG was outstanding, putting all previous games against the Celtics behind him. A repeat performance tonight would be amazing.

Mikal Bridges' Game 1 Performance: 8 PTS 7 AST / 1 TOV 3 STL / 1 BLK 6 DREB 23.1 FG% 40.0 3P% Mikal has been great on defense all playoffs so expect that to continue. A few more buckets is what we want to see, but he's been making winning plays despite inefficiency. (What 5 picks?!!? 😤)

Josh Hart's Game 1 Performance: 14PTS 11 TREB / 5 OREB 3 AST / 1 TOV 55.6 FG% 1 / 5 3PA 3 / 6 FTA Josh did his thing in the first game but I would like to see a few more assists and less early fouls. Keeping TOV down is a plus as is shooting the 3 with confidence, don't think just shoot if open.

KAT's Game 1 Performance: 14 PTS 13 TREB 4 OREB 0 AST / 2 TOV 46.2 FG% 0 / 1 3PA 2 / 2 FTA KAT needs more than 13 FGA and 14 PTS as the series goes on. He also needs more than 1 3PA and to stay out of foul trouble. If he can we won't see Precious when the Celtics decide to foul Mitch in the bonus

Jalen Brunson's Game 1 Performance: 29 Pts 5 AST / 4 TOV 39.1 FG% 55.6 3P% 85.7 FT% We're looking for a similar performance from JB in game 2 with hopefully better FG% and fewer TOV

If the Knicks had hit FTs at the same percentage as the Celtics did tonight, the score would've been 117-105, a +12 pt. win! We're in good shape, fam. Take heart.

Knicks did their thing and won the damn game by +3 in OT. Storming back from -20 😤 +3 FG +7.4 FG% +2 3PM +20.9 3P% +1 AST +6 STL -1 TOV -2 PTS ON TOV +2 FBP +2 PITP Knicks 1 Celtics 0 Three more to go!

Many have said the Knicks have 0% chance of winning a series versus the Celtics. Throw out all of the stats previously posted, they mean nothing. This team doesn't quit and figures things out. They are winners and prideful. Expect a strong performance from our guys tonight and thru-out the series.
