Pumped up with vodka? What type do you drink in the motherland?

I have whiskey and ice nights, then some nights it's beer. Vodka is good with dinner, some herring and potatoes go real well with it neat. Most of the time I drink dry wine. What about yourself? What do you prefer?

Bourbon, coke, hookers. All good with dinner too.

Alternative... Exercise during the game. Did it myself every game. I'm just saying. A 60 second plank every time Clyde says " Ironic ". 25 jumping jacks every time a Knick makes an " And 1 ". Or maybe a few squats when OG hits a 3. Stuff like that.

I got a good laugh out of this. I don't think we should just throw him into the playoffs fresh off an injury and since he played so little time this season. The exception being if he looks really good behind the scenes.

I've heard some fans aren't as hyped as last season going into the playoffs and I guess I kind of understand but I think once you see that crowd and energy that will change quickly. I'm personally psyched for tonight! There is NOTHING like Knicks playoff basketball at the Garden!

I'm going to say Knicks in 6. If we don't fuck around and have the same lapses defensively that we had all season, we can actually sweep or gentlemen sweep that team. But we have a lot of bad habits that I haven't seen much improvement during the season and Detroit plays hard as hell so I think this will go a little longer than we want it to.

Cade is a tough cover and has owned us this season but I think OG will limit him a few games, especially in crunch time. And the Pistons don't really have a reliable second scorer. I don't think Tobias Harris or Tim Hardaway Jr. scare anyone. But we have to watch out for Beasley! He's the type of three point shooter at 42% that can get hot and kill us! Have to stay on him all series!

We're just more talented than Detroit. I can only see us losing this series if we have a repeat of the 1997 series against Miami where we lost our cool and got into a brawl and half the team got suspended. I do expect the Pistons to try some dirty tricks! Especially Stewart! Have to retaliate but do it SMART! Don't got punked but also don't get suspended!

Brunson and KAT should both have big series'. Pistons don't have anyone who can cover them! OG should also have his way! Bridges is the X-factor. We need him to be aggressive but most importantly lock in on defense. Mitch should cancel out Duren. Hart will be Hart and get those soul crushing rebounds and hit some clutch shots. Deuce and Shamet need to make their shots. And lastly Thibs needs to make adjustments more quickly if something isn't working. And stay with the hot hand! If Shamet for example is feeling it, let him finish the game!

Like I've said, Knicks in 6 but we should sweep them.

We have no problem with Clyde being on national TV. Make it happen, ****heads.

Very lucky to have tickets for Game 1 and 2! Its gonna be wild in there - nothing like the playoffs at MSG! Super anxious right now, trying to take my kid to the zoo and not think about the game.

Clyde retiring? I know he been cutting back and it has to happen one day.
Just not ready.
