So today at 1 p.m. vs. the Celtics, we will see if Eddy Curry’s Knicks are actually going to fight to get back into the season. Today is as critical as it gets, with their three-game Western trip to follow. They fly directly after the game to L.A., where they will practice tomorrow at the Clippers facility.

The Knicks two-game win streak has separated them from the Nets but that is all. After beating the league’s worst team yesterday, it is time to show up and make the Garden rock vs. Boston. Curry is 2-0 as a Knick. He plays his first game at the Garden since 2007-2008 season that got curtailed by knee surgery. That’s 20 months ago. You won’t recognize him.

To his credit, despite laying an egg yesterday in Jersey, Curry seemed upbeat. He said he’s ready to turn boos to cheers.
