Next Up - Celtics @ Knicks, Friday February 1, 2019 at 7:30 PM

The Boston Celtics are in NY to play the Knicks.

The blockbuster trade yesterday and on going speculation about Kyrie Irving joining them as a FA dominates the conversation.
For Celtics fans , there is a game to be played.  The Knicks have dropped 11 in a row and are now 10-40 on the season.  The Celtics are in a real battle for playoff positioning.  They had a very productive January going 11-4 as team has settled into playing well together.

I expect a very high level of intensity as the players are likely aggravated by all the distractions and will want to beat NY decisively.  This will be their last meeting of 3 and they split the previous 2 games.

There is no need to talk about matchups.

Let's cheer our guys on to go out there tonight and beat up the Knicks.  A beat down would be a good way to finish with them this season.

For what it is worth, here is the last five game results for both teams:



I wrote on the Game On! thread that the tank has begun (for the Knickerbockers), but it looks like it is already well under way.
