[!CDATA[As the New York Knicks gear up for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, some die-hard fans are resorting to superstitious rituals to bring luck to their team. From avoiding watching the game to wearing specific jerseys, fans are going to great lengths to ensure victory. At McMahon’s Public House in Brooklyn, bartender Colette Reilly believes her presence at work is the team's lucky charm, with regulars even threatening her to show up for the games. Outside Madison Square Garden, fans like Danny are sticking to their lucky rituals, such as wearing a specific player's jersey for good luck.

Doug Berns, who writes musical parodies for each game, dismisses the superstitions and believes that fans should simply be engaged and supportive of the team. While some fans like Will Z. are confident that Game 1 is already a sure win, others are holding on to their superstitions in the hopes of influencing the game's outcome. Whether it's avoiding watching the game, wearing lucky jerseys, or attending watch parties, Knicks fans are doing whatever it takes to support their team in the Eastern Conference Finals.]]
