Well the Knicks are going to test the Nets healing abilities.

I read Lenny has focused his practices on defense. And has even
deactivated Moochie (thank G-d) in favor of Frank Williams. Lenny
feels Frank is a better physical match for Kidd.

Game 1 (for me) is pivotal it will set the tone of the series.

If the Knicks can wear down the Nets' stars at the start of the
series, they can do so throughout.

That losing record isn't pretty. Layden's team frankly did not
impress me either. The day Layden was fired I danced a jig.

Isiah's team has a winning record and a playoff berth.

Most of us Bucks fans are smart enough to understand that the Pistons are a
very good team and are prohibitive favorites to beat the Bucks. While the
Bucks are certainly good enough to beat any team on any given day, they
haven't shown the consistency a championship team needs, and a seven game
series tends to draw out those things. Most of the smack in this group
lately has come from Knick Fan.
