New York Knicks Team News

The New York Knicks enter this season with a very similar lineup as last season and will try to make a breakthrough and reach at least the finals of the East. They showed their quality in the playoffs when they easily beat the Cavs, but they lacked experience against the Heat. This season, he will be a year more experienced and older, and we believe that he will make a serious result. The Knicks are a very young team that has been together for a couple of years. The trio of Randle-Brunson-Barrett is the driving force of the team, and how the Knicks will look this season will depend a lot on their form and health. In addition to this trio, the Knicks have a great support staff, more precisely a couple of players who make a difference when they come off the bench. First of all, this applies to Quickley and Fournier, who have points in their hands.

They are led from the bench by the experienced Tom Thibodeau, who is known as a coach who pays a lot of attention to defense. That’s why the Knicks play very hard in defense and with high intensity throughout the season. Many would say that the teams led by Thibs constantly play “play-off” basketball. They played two games with the Celtics in the preparations, one game was won by the Knicks while the other was won by the Celtics, but those games came as a real opportunity for all the players to show who is in what form. Now comes the most important thing, and the battle of who will start the season with a win.

Boston Celtics Team News

The Celtics were one step away from the Finals and the fight for the trophy last season, but the Miami Heat were more successful than them. This year they made a couple of very difficult decisions and traded a couple of players who were fans’ favorites but also important factors in the Celtics game. Marcus Smart, who was a member of the Celtics for many years, but definitely did not fit into the game system that Joe Mazzulla is forcing, left the team. In addition to Smart, Boston also left the best “Sixth Man” for last season, Malcolm Brogdon. Also, both Williams left the team, Rob went to Portland together in the package for Brogdon, while Grant reinforced Dallas.

The Celtics brought two superstars to their lineup to fill the holes and players who stylistically fit the style of play that Mazzulla pushes, ie with lots of three-shots and ball flow. Kristaps Porzingis, who played a great last season and showed all his magnificent talent, arrived in Boston, and if injuries bypass him, he will be a huge boost for the Celtics. Next to him, is Jrue Holiday, who is one of the best “two-way” players and will bring enormous security in defense as well as in clutch time. The Celtics have extended their cooperation with Payton Pritchard, who played excellent preseason games and showed that he will be of great importance to the Celtics rotation.

However, everything in the Celtics game revolves around the tandem of Tatum and Brown, who trained together all summer and gained a few more pounds of muscle mass, and it will be very difficult to defend them. Tatum showed a huge improvement in playmaking last season, so this season he is expected to have more triple-double matches.
