Miles McBride, the sixth man for the New York Knicks, is determined to bounce back from a challenging first-round series against the Detroit Pistons, where he averaged just 3.8 points per game and struggled with his shooting. Despite his disappointing stats, McBride emphasizes the importance of confidence and trusting his preparation as he prepares for the upcoming series against the Boston Celtics.

As the Knicks face a tough opponent, they will need more offensive production from McBride and their bench unit, which has been a significant concern throughout the postseason. The Celtics, bolstered by the impressive play of sixth man Payton Pritchard, pose a formidable challenge. McBride's ability to perform against Pritchard could be a key factor in the series as both players look to make impactful contributions off the bench.
