Series Thread: 2nd Round: 2) Boston Celtics vs 3) NY Knicks

[dtgold88]

There was a first round sweep already

2 I think (Cavs and OKC, too?)

Knicks in 6. I've got to support my team, right? The Knicks steal game one by shooting lights out from 3, and still need a buzzer beater to seal it. Then both teams exchange wins until game 6 in NY. If it goes 7, The Celtics will get every call in Boston, so the Knicks gotta take it down in game 6 in New York.

Word, bro....and I share that optimism...(though mine is somewhat guarded)
But the C's have had the Knicks number for the past few seasons now.
Only way I can see us advancing to the EC finals would be if Boston loses one of their front line starters to injury...and even then it wouldn't be a certainty....but we'll see..the Knicks are definitely a gritty bunch......also, I would like to see Thibs go a little deeper in using some more of his bench players who he often overlooks....and barely got any run in the Detroit series, but imho should have...namely Shamet & Achiuwa...and even Wright or PJ Tucker.

Not hate the Knicks (I save all that for the sixers lakers and spurs) but….

Oh I ahte the Bricks- but my real hate is for the Heat and Lakers-- my Pistons hate has died down considerably. Seeing the Cavs slaughter the Heat in the most lopsided series in NBA history was very fulfilling- esp. Herro bragging about how the defense was bad and he had them figured out and then he absolutely shit down his leg in game 4 and crawled in a hole.

Celts in 4. Knicks seem soft. Losing Randle lost their edge. Bridges is so soft. OG isnt soft but he isnt enough.

Thibs got no hand in this

It will be 4 vs 5 on court at all times

If the celts decide to let this go more than 4 it will be because of something like Tatum or Brown sittin out


Only thing I still believe, the Knicks are still gettin to know each other on the court, saw a few miss passes cause this player thought that, yada yada yada

No way are the Knicks beatin celts in series, but they can make em work
For it

Fire thibs, trade Anouby, Hart luv him, not a starter!

the knicks issues were they got stuck slightly overpaying OG

And their original plan seemed to be using Achiewa's worthless salary as more floatsam to make an upgrade

but when they could do the kat trade they got stuck and couldn't use other tools to better land guys.

(plus they overpaid for Bridges)

if the knicks don't make the bridges trade they are the overwhelming favorites to land Giannis right now IMO.

Plus Mitch isn't exactly a pillar of health

Moving him this summer for like Gabe vincent should make sense for everyone.

I don’t completely understand the move for Vincent …

Is it a money thing, cause I don’t follow the business aspect of it?

Knicks need an enforcer/antagonist who could hit an occasional 3

WTF we pick up Tucker for I have no idea!

It doesn’t matter…Thibs uses a 6-7 man rotation basically ALL year unless there are injuries

In most circumstances I'd root for the dog but I can't stand the Knicks now lol.

Hope for a good series and the C's

If they still had hartstein to protect the paint this might work

I can’t stand either team! Hopefully all the players get suspended for the rest of the season

If they had their old team they probably have a better chance but still going 6 at most and that is being kind

Hartstein with Townes would’ve been absurd

A lot to invest in big men but a perfect fit. They could only offer him so much, right?
There would be no need for the absurdBridges trade

Cs in 5. Holiday is healthy.
