New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics: Game 2
With Carmelo Anthony going for 42 points in the LOSS against the Celtics this evening, what do you think the Knicks have to do as a whole in order to get a win under their belt? Game 1 the Knicks lose by 2 points (With Anthony going for only 15 points.) Then, they go into Game 2 and lose the game by 3 points and Anthony goes for 42 points. Where is the problem rooted in this New York Knicks squad? What do they have to do in order to get a win, let alone knock the veteran Celtics team out the playoff run?

Orlando vs. Atlanta
With the Atlanta Hawks leading the series already 1-0 is it safe to say that the Magic just may get booted out the playoffs in the first round? The Magic lost by 10 with the final score being 103-93. Dwight Howard led all scorers with 47 points and Nelson chipped in 27pts but that alone obviously wasn’t enough. Now, when you look at the Hawks stat sheet, everything was well balanced. They operated as a team. So is that what the Magic have to do in order to get a win. I don’t know what majority thinks whose expected to win, but the Magic do go into the playoffs at the number 4 position and the Hawks coming in at the number 5 position. With game 1 out of they way, who do you anticipate taking this series? Also, what do you think the Magic must do in order to get this series tied 1-1?
I predict this series goes down to the wire. 3-3 and I expect Atlanta to advance on to the next round.
