What are your takes on the match up?Would rather play philly but they F'ed that up when the lost to the Heat. I hate NY so it would be awesome to beat them

The Knicks are on fire right now while the Celtics are stumbling. I wouldn't be surprised to see New York take this one. In the end, though, I'm going with the Celtics in seven.

^^^ Watching the Knicks Bulls game right now? Knicks are far from on fire


They have been as of late..still doesn't help the fact they are in the bottom 5 for defense in the league


Giving up 105 average..god awful

KontradictioN

Yeah but the Celts defense hasn't exactly been stellar against some of the better offenses in the East either (neither has the Heat's defense, for that matter). That's why I give New York a fighting chance, but am ultimately going with the Celtics due to both experience on this stage and the fact that Boston matches up well. On top of that, I'm actually rooting for you guys as I ******* DESPISE the Knicks.

EDIT: By the way, Amar'e wasn't playing tonight. He would have made a difference in the game, both offensively and defensively.

This came from a Knicks fan

As mediocre as the Celtics have been down the stretch, I'd be shocked if they lost this series. Beyond that though, all bets are off. The Celtics haven't instilled enough confidence in me to realistically believe they advance beyond that, even though I'll be rooting for them the whole time to get one more banner.

If that makes me a bad fan, so be it. My heart is in one place, but my brain is saying something else.

Anyone headed to any of the games? I will be there for game 2

Brady_to_Moss

There goes the game for the C's...

I know it's only 1 game but I would love to see Kontradictions comments on J. O'neal's performance tonight...He was beasting and guarding the basket perfectly for the Celts when they were struggling....He was rebounding and scoring....He doesn't have much wear on his knees and body so far this season so if he stays healthy in the playoffs he could be a HUGE asset especially is Shaq doesn't come back in these playoffs.....

On a side note, Doc needs to reign in Rondo as he gave away CRITICAL possessions late in this game....I know his game is sporatic but late in games he needs to cut this crap out....This almost cost the Celts the game tonight....

RAY ALLEN IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
