It made me sick watching espn pregame and Magic talking about how playing at the garden, every visiting team gets extra hyped and wants to put on a show. For far too long, the 'worlds most famous arena' the 'mecca of basketball' has just been a stage for stars to come in and have their moment on broadway. Kobe, Jordan, Lebron, such great performances here, bla bla bla..

Also made me sick in the Isiah years that idiot would bitch about how the fans would turn on the team and boo, and how hard it was to play home games.

F-That Sh*t.

I loved how Woodson has been stressing how important it is for us to defend our homecourt. The Garden seemed like it turned back into OUR house last night.

If the Knicks play defense and win a few games...Garden fans has always reward it's team with love no matter what..look at the 90's team...Even with Spree and H2O...Let the defense begin!!!

If you were a player you would be pump to play at the gardens big stage and bright lights and guys like jordan, bron, kobe,live for those moments..

I remember a few years ago, MELO lit up the garden 35 points in the 2nd half after missing his team previous 10 games..19 in the 4th qtr. Super stars relish playing in MSG

When the Knicks r bad MSG is not a home court advantage. Its a disadvantage because guys want to play big and our team can't stop them. When we're good it an advantage, its a big stage and our crowd us behind us. Its as simple as that. NY has to have a good team or our arena (not necessarily the fans) works against us.
