Matchups to Watch

  vs 
While the starting point guard matchup will always be a key one.  The back up PG spot is going to be one to watch for the Celtics.  Doc is set on using Marquis Daniels as a point forward to back up Rondo.  It will be interesting to see how this concept works with a quick and tough PG like Nate Robinson. 
 
  vs 
Celtics fans will be watching whichever matchup KG has until they are certain the knee is good and KG is 100%.  It will be interesting to see how he does in his second outing back after the surgery and whether his minutes increase by a few in this game. 

Notes:
Knicks fans should enjoy this because it should be the only time this season where the Knicks have a better record than the Celtics.   As with every other game, lineups and minutes are going to be very inconsistent as coaches take a look at the fringe players, decide on which rotations work best and easing their starters into the season. 

The replacement refs so far have not had the best effect on games.  The Celtics opener went over 3 hours and included more than 100 free throws.  Calls were wildly inconsistent and of course, Sheed got the obligatory technical foul.    As the pre-season wears on, either the refs will have to improve or the players are going to be worn out from the long games due to frequent trips to the free throw line.

Hell yeah.

I'll have the game on the MSG channel, so I'll actually be able to watch it on TV!

Also, I got a ticket to the November 22nd game against the Knicks at MSG! I can't wait!

But, that's an eon away. I'm only thinking about Friday for now. Hopefully KG looks smooth again, Daniels makes some plays in the 2nd unit, and Hudson shows he can make the rotation.

Are there any (legal) ways to watch this game on the web?

Thanks in advance!

PS. Remember to TP FL for the game thread.

Ouch. You mean Al Harrington didn't convince you the Knicks will surprise the doubters ;D TP for the thread and the chuckle. Go Celtics.

Brian Scalabrine. He's a cross between Raggedy Ann and Bozo the Clown. There's no stopping that.

Believe me.. The Knicks toast will be burnt, and no amount of scraping will remove the black part.

I live in NY, so I get to watch it on MSG. Once again Walt "Clyde" Frazier will serenade me with his soothing baritone, regaling be with anecdotes I'm a little too young to get, and sarcastic remarks about why the Knicks suck. It's basketball season!
