Julius Randle drives to the rim during the Knicks’ win over the Pelicans on Feb. This is a night when the Knicks can provide a little more testimony that they can be more than just a nice little story come April, when the games start to matter a whole lot more. The Knicks’ neighborhood includes the Cavaliers to the north, the Nets next door, the Heat and Hawks and Raptors to the south. There is no belt on the line and little on the table the Celtics are 10 games clear of the Knicks in the loss column. The Knicks will be taking a step up in class, a middleweight challenging a heavyweight. It’s what makes Monday night at Madison Square Garden so much fun. The Celtics sit in first class the Knicks are still in coach. They are a great team that fell two victories shy of adding an 18th championship banner last summer, and most nights they look like an awfully good choice to be riding in duck boats through the streets of Boston come late June. ![]() The Celtics checked the boxes for “good” and “very good” a long time ago. They are a good team with ambitions of being very good. They are a good team that is in a prosperous stretch - five wins in a row, seven out of eight, 17-9 since they were last at. The Knicks know who they are, and they know who they want to be. ![]() ![]() It's 50th anniversary of Yankees' most insane swap ever Knicks' shot at playoff experience a valuable oneĮdwin Diaz's devastating knee injury latest strike against WBCĪaron Rodgers can shut up Woody Johnson's Jets criticsįairleigh Dickinson embracing First Four challenge amid unusual March Madness bid
