Said the same shit about Celtics playing Cavs last year.

You know what to do....

[jjax107]

but in this case he's right. NO CHANCE!! never bet against Celtics in the playoffs. "Celtic Pride!"

[stefan084]

I agree, NY refuses to play defense

[7secondsOrLess]

so just because he was wrong last year means hes automatically gonna be wrong again huh, great thread

[bonestock]

Yeah.. Chuck wasnt too bad with his NCAAB pregame calls.

[TechnicallyFoul]

I can't see the Knicks beating the Celtics for some reason.

[chankng]

the green monsters are acting like sleepers like last year, they were 4th in the east and went to the finals.... dont sleep on them, they know how to rest and control their games.... what u see now is totally different for the playoffs... As well if you look at the games being played past few years, boston doesnt really care about home court advantage unless in the finals... they have a solid road record and anywhere they play at they are too poised and experienced makes no diff

[TheDane]

Meh, Chuckster also claimed the Celtics had no shot against the Cavs last year.

[rsnnh12]

Yeah.. Chuck wasnt too bad with his NCAAB pregame calls.

This.... his wizardry has been much improved lately.

[JerseyLove]

Celtics roll tonight and I like the Knicks more as a team. But go celtics first half -2 for easy money.

[BettingWizard]

no value at all with the line move for series prices.....better off doing game by game

[BettingWizard]

Yeah.. Chuck wasnt too bad with his NCAAB pregame calls.

all he did was go against the big east

[NBA_Brosuf]

Knicks winning tonight and here's why.

Boston resting starters and knicks will need a win to stop a dent on their seasonal series.

So when the playoff comes and they play again, they will have the momentum and mindset that they are playing with the same team they just beat tonight. LOL

[pittmatt80]

I agree the Celtics are good at resting their players and getting ready for the playoffs. Don't think they sweep the Knicks but they will beat them in the first round. Knicks will be better next year when Melo and Stoudemire have more time together. Good Luck to All

[nbarlotta3]

Celtics are way too old. Can't wait to see the Knicks beat them in the first round.

[JOHON8]

It's a coin clip, Celtics are old and Knicks are trash. Pick your favorite loser.

[panik]

Knicks have NO chance beating the Celtics.

[thebestthereis]

the odds of winning four games without playing defense is very difficult

[FindTheLock]

Barkley takes a lot of shit for being wrong sometimes, but he does get it right quite a lot too. He was one of the only analysts that gave the Magic a chance the past few seasons and the magic made it to the finals once, and the ECF every time. However, I disagree with him here. I think the Knicks have the best chance for a first round upset of any team in the east.

[frostno98]

I've seen too many Nuggets team under Carmelo to not believe this will not happen again in the playoffs.

[ShogunRua]

Well, for tonight's game, I think the Knicks have a great chance to win. However, they have 0% chance to win a 7 game series against Boston. I repeat, 0% chance. They do not play defense, and Boston is a half court team. 0%

[BettingWizard]

lol zero chance


so it would be the greatest upset in NBA history then?


It's somewhere around 15-20%

[madrabbit]

I hope that's a joke.

[HoulihansTX]

Winning and covering the spread are apples to oranges

Knicks +6

[Borat38]

Celtics take this series, but Knicks are ATS gold, IMHO. Or maybe silver.

[aireent777]

It's the playoffs. Watch the Knicks play defense. Knicks ML.

[forzuto13]

I just want to wait a game or two and see if Celtics pull the surprise resuscitation like last year. But N.Y. is hungry and had good momentum into playoffs. Man I hope Shaq can get his ass playing again 'cuz he will make a big difference. Celtics ain't gonna win without some serious presence in the paint on D.

[og4667]

taking the Knicks in game 1

[Snowball]

Hey, whaddya know.. Chuck is finally going to make some money.

He's probably got 400k to win 100k on the Celtics series.

high roller

[nastradamus]

Big 4 will play real game now. Celtics by 12.

[bondguy007]

Now, IF the unthinkable happens (and I'm betting it won't, but just for fun) and the Knicks beat the Celtics in Round 1, it'll only be because they stepped up their defense and actually made shots inside the paint. The games in Boston will be low scoring. Then when they go to New York, MSG will have crowds so into the game that they'll play no defense and somehow manage to put up 120 points per game. That being said, Boston wins in 5.

[face]

charles barkely was right about kentucky beating tarheels. i think chuck is right this time because i like the celtics. but i think he is wrong when i don't like his predictions.

[SRBI]

Barkley knows what he's talkin about. Love that fool

[riskyProps]

Well, for tonight's game, I think the Knicks have a great chance to win. However, they have 0% chance to win a 7 game series against Boston. I repeat, 0% chance. They do not play defense, and Boston is a half court team. 0%

LOL! Now I have desire to bet on all the proposition bets for NY winning the series. I'm not saying that you are wrong. It's just that I love a good long shot. LOL!
