Key Matchups
vs
Perk versus Eddie Curry is going to be a key matchup. Perk has had big games in the past against the Knicks and hopefully he will come through again in this game on both ends of the floor.

vs
Randolph has been playing well for the Knicks. It will be a challenge for KG to try to stop him while making him work on the defensive end.

Keys to the Game
Close Down the Middle It will be up to Perk and KG to defend the basket. The Knicks will try to get to the hoop with their big men as well as their guards. Keeping them out of the paint will be a key to winning this game.

Energy and Hustle The Celtics played like they were sleep walking at times against the Cavs. They will need to bring more hustle on the boards and going for loose balls and on defense or this may be another loss. The Celtics got out rebounded by the Cavs and that was mostly due to a lack of hustle to go after the boards.

Game Notes.
The game will be on TNT, a sign of the respect the Celtics are getting this season with their two new stars. We didn't have any games on TNT last season. Their previous appearance on TNT was March 16, 2006, in Miami, their only appearance that season. . They haven't had a TNT game at home since April 10, 2003, when they hosted the 76ers .

The Celtics will be looking to rebound from their loss but with 4 games in 6 days, hopefully Doc will watch their minutes, or they will be useless on Sunday in the rematch against the Cavs. The Knicks have been a circus side show so far this season with the antics of Marbury and Isaiah. But, they have been playing well lately and have won 2 in a row. They have good players if they can get past the distractions and just play ball so they shouldn't be taken for granted.
