I liked the Celtics in this series to begin with purely based on talent and overall skill of the teams. KG and Pierce own the Knicks. The Knicks are a B-team that cannot do anything when they don't hit their threes, especially if Chandler is hurt or out entirely. I picked the Celtics to reach the Finals before the season started but, with Rondo out and the Heat playing at the highest level for any pro sports team I can remember, I will go with the Heat to win it all. However, can you honestly imagine the Knicks beating the Celtics even once in this series at TD Garden? Celtics will certainly win at least 1 at MSG. Basketball-wise, JET is being slept on as far as clutchness (got a Celtics championship tattoo) and Jeff Green is the perfect defender to limit Melo. Boston will be playing these games for the marathon victims. It is a perfect storm.

Celtics in 6.

I hate to say this but WTF has the bombings got to do with these games?

You're crazy man, the Knicks are stacked. Gonna be a Miami New York eastern conference final IMO

Im sitting here in Boston and could care less about the Celtics, Bruins or Red Sox right now. Im on SBR trying to get a break from watching the news. Im not sure how much energy the Celtics have considering an 8 year old was killed within walking distance of the Garden and we still have no clue who the hell did this. "Perfect Storm"??? Come on man??? Just because you threw up a disclaimer saying your post was insensitive still makes it inappropriate. God Bless America.

The Knicks are stacked? Yes, starting Earl Barron is truly the sign of a dynasty. They cannot play defense. And the poster who brought up the point about the Knicks being 2-0 against the Celtics is totally right...I mean, bet on them every game then. They won 2 so they will win every single game they ever play against Boston, right? Right?

[chargers4222]

Celtics are the better team in the first place. This is just David Stern's way of qualifying it.

[chargers4222]

I am from New York and have watched probably 70 Knicks games in their entirety this year. I would take any Eastern Conference playoff team over them in a series besides the Bucks and Nets and the Bucks would take them to 7 games. Also, the Lakers will face the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.

celtics in 7

After looking at how one-sided I think the other 3 Eastern series will be, I changed my pick to Celts in 7 instead of 6. Stern needs some kind of excitement out of the East.

[No coincidences]

I hate the Knicks and respect what the C's have done through the years, but I think Boston has a better chance of getting swept than winning this series.
