They play the game the way it supposed to be played; high energy, selfless, and with respect. They may not win the NBA championship this year, but that's not to say they aren't worthy.

[chantrain]

yes, but theyre also looking better due to how bad the knicks look

[bretb27]

you don't think the celtics have anything to do with that? The knicks are a solid team, but they are simply miles behind the C's.

[HoulihansTX]

Once Billups was out long term, this series was over.

Toney Douglas is brutal.

[politicin]

LOL @ the knicks being a solid team. God help me, close this thread.

knicks are much better than the pacers (who have really played the bulls tight) and the hawks (who are beating orlando in their series)

[bretb27]

knicks getting a LOT of calls here in the second half.. unreal

[agharah1]

Please, nobody gets more calls than the Boston Celtics. David Stern needs to do something about this pro-Celtics officiating its getting out of hand.

Knicks are not better than the Pacers, gtfo wit that crap

Pacers play defense. Do you even see how tight they're defending the Bulls?

Knicks aren't even better than the 76ers

[politicin]

I would take the Pacers in a 7 game ANYDAY... you sir suck.

[JOHON8]

you don't think the celtics have anything to do with that? The knicks are a solid team, but they are simply miles behind the C's.

You call the Knicks a solid team when Anthony scores half their points every game? The Cavs are a more solid team.

[HoulihansTX]

The "Knicks being a solid team comment," is killing your credibility.

[SkivChef]

Celts are solid!

[Mikail]

I like Boston this year. I like their chances a lot. This could be their year. Pierce, Garnett and Allen are aware this could be the last chance to win the Finals. They aren't getting any younger. I see lots of value on the Celtics futures to win it all.

[BrewVegas]

The Knicks were a pitiful excuse for an opponent. The Pacers, Sixers, and Hawks are all tougher first round matchups. The Knicks' defense is nonexistent.

Also, you commend the Celtics for their "respect" of the game....you do realize they are the dirtiest team in the NBA, right?

[bretb27]

you guys are idiots. the Knicks had a better regular season record than the Pacers (a division opponent) and were better than the 76'rs by 5 games (in a division with the worst team in basketball). I said they are solid, not championship contenders. They are a 6 seed, same as the portland trail blazers, another team that is SOLID. They don't play defense, wow that's a fukking first. All those suns teams in the past decade didn't play defense and were also "solid" were they not? Defense is over rated as hell in the NBA. Half the time a good "defensive play" is called a foul, resulting in 2 free throws. If a guy is shooting well, and lets face it, these guys get paid to put a ball in a hoop, than good defense matters little.

haha and where's the proof for this one hotshot? You're pulling shit outta your ass, not surprising, you're probably the type of guy that likes things up his ass.

[chantrain]

we all think you're wrong.

Knicks are a worse team than the Pacers or 76ers regardless of seeding

you saying defense doesn't matter is hilarious. Mike D'Antoni, is that you?

[bretb27]

not to mention the knicks were playing without billups, and with a sore amare. The knicks aren't deep enough to hang with the celtics, but take out their PG and cripple one of the best players in the nba then of course they won't look solid. They should have won at least one if not both games in boston, if that happened you idiots would be saying the celtics are over-rated and old and blah blah blah. you guys really have no clue

[chantrain]

just because we think you're wrong is no reason to call us idiots and say we have no clue.

you sound like a butthurt knicks fan. Best thing your team will ever do is to fire D'antoni and get a defensive minded coach

[bretb27]

they split with both the pacers and philly this year, had a better record than both teams, and were a higher seeded than both teams ... and you're going to sit here and tell me that they aren't as good as those teams? are you on crack or are you just retarded?

[bretb27]

I'm from boston you dumbass hahahah

[bretb27]

and the fact that you think a defensive minded coach will fix the knicks defensive problems is hilarious.. they're filled with scorers. scorers, for the most part, don't play defense.

[BrewVegas]

haha and where's the proof for this one hotshot? You're pulling shit outta your ass, not surprising, you're probably the type of guy that likes things up his ass.

I'm pulling what out of my ass, that the Celtics are the dirtiest team in the NBA? I doubt there are many players, coaches, or fans who would disagree. KG is possibly the dirtiest player in the game and Pierce and Ray Allen take cheap shots at guys all the time. Stop being a homer.

The fact that you think the Knicks are a more formidable opponent than the Pacers or Sixers right now shows how little you know about the NBA.

Also, you like Boston but think that defense matters little? You are absolutely retarded.

[nthomas619]

haha agreed celtics doing good

[bretb27]

they split against the hawks and took 2 of 3 from some team in chicago.. the bulls i think, right? They're a decent team I think, i don't know much about basketball maybe you could help me out!

[politicin]

i don't know anything about basketball

this

They very well could, they are my choice.

[bretb27]

LT you are a bad motha'fucka' i think you're onto something here!

[spargament]

Boston vs. OKC on a future two days ago at +2005

Boston vs. OKC on a future two days ago at +2005

I think NBA/ESPN/ABC will be very happy because I am seeing Celtics/Lakers, but I do also see Lakers/OKC West Final
