All goes quiet on this thread when the Knicks get beat doesn't it?

Looks like Spurs are gonna struggle to get through, case of the Cavs by the looks of it.

OKC looking good though, Ibaka's stepping it up to cover Westbrook having a bad un.

Hard to be angry at the moment. We have Billups out and Amare playing hurt. We're battling through but don't stand a chance. Hopefully the CBA will get sorted and we can look to add parts for next year and hopefully get some kind of defensive presence in there. We may end up with a new GM and Coach as well.

I agree, not having a proper team the Knicks are one of those that I follow and want to do well. Just unfortunate that its the Celtics in game 1, theyre just too good and too experiences especially when 2 of the 3 aren't available for the Knicks.

You reckon D'Antoni is gone then? I don't think he's the best coach to get the knicks back up there, I think I could manage to get a side containing Melo and Amare to do well offensively, was always gonna to be whether they could stack up defensively with the big boys.

I am seriously concerned with what ESPN America is doing to my sleeping pattern at the moment. Having watched baseball and NFL for years on channel 5 and SKy I now find I'm being drawn to basketball and even ice hockey and that once I start watching something I have to watch until the end. These double OT ice hockey games are killing me!

I was pretty disappointed with the Knicks who I thought might give Boston a good series but I guess experience showed through massively, especially when the injuries kicked in

I'm even more disappointed. I've checked the schedule for the next week or so and it seems there is no live NBA on. WTF is this?

I wondered that. They appear to be showing less in the play offs than the regular season!

Yet the MLB is on live. How can they show MLB over the NBA? MLB is dire, especially watching it at home.

That may change. It was similar last week then loads of games appeared.
