Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks vs. Celtics (New Knicks Rivalry Intro Opener, which is not a thing)
The Knicks host the red hot Boston Celtics at home, the first game they’ve played the Celtics since acquiring Precious, Bojan and Burks, so let’s hope that the new look Knicks match up better against the Celtics.
This is such a house money game that no one seriously expects the Knicks to win that I really think they are going to surprise everyone. Precious actually sort of matches up better against Boston than the two headed center monster, and the Celtics famously don’t take every game seriously, while the Knicks play to win every single game.
The Celtics also haven’t seen hot shooting DDV, really, this season.
I think the Knicks are going to make a statement tonight, and what’s great is that if they don’t, eh, whatever, it’s not a big deal if they lose.
I’m with Brian on this one. Everyone pinky promise no hitting the panic button tomorrow if it’s a beat down. Cuz we’re somewhere between 20-40% of the team we would otherwise be. And they are, sadly, 100% whiny Beantown.
