Seems like it's going to be us vs the Celtics in the 1st rd. Anyone else concerned like I am?
They have KG coming back too, and Green is playing great right now. They have the defense and firepower to contend with us so I'm a bit concerned.
Opinions?

Looking forward to it.
I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm concerned. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Hawks to get the 7th seed.

Their defense is sh*t but I'm only concerned because Paul Pierce & KG by themselves are players you just don't sleep on.
With that said I'm looking forward to a 1st round matchup with them. I don't necessarily want to face that team but I'm not scared of them either.

Would love to play the Hawks instead of the Celtics too, man

I hope for it. I would love to embarrass Pierce and KG on their home court.

They're going to have 3 good/great defenders in Lee/Bradley/KG and Pierce, who can be a decent defender at times, all in their starting lineup. This is going to be a tough series imo.

I am confident that the Knicks will beat them int he 1st round. Just it may take 6 or 7 games to do so.
The Pacers don't want to play the Celtics as the 6th seed.
Miami would not want their 1st round matchup against the Celtics as a 8th seed.
The Celtics are just going to be a tough out.

bradley's on the ball defense means nothing when Felton is handling the ball

Definitely concerned - Knicks should win, but that doesn't mean that the Celtics can't. Especially with the way the league/officials cater to that bitchassness KG and Pierce make their living on that is promoted as "veteran savvy".

Might take time off our shot-clock, limiting the time we have to run our plays, forcing Melo/JR to take a tough shot. It's happened a lot this season.
Don't mean to sound negative or anything, just a concerned fan. I believe in our team though.

If we can't get past the Celtics, then this isn't the team we all thought. I'd be slightly concerned, but I would really expect us to get by in 6 games.
The Celts are only 1.5 games back of the Hawks and Boston has the tiebreaker so there's still a chance Atlanta ends up in the 7 spot.

Theres a lil concern, but I learned we cant pick and chose who we want in the playoffs. IF this team is as good as we think, and we feel we can beat Miami, we can certainly beat the Celtics. Boston wont lie down, but If we play our game, we have a great chance in beating them 4-1. We have Martin to guard KG, and JR & Shump to make it difficult on Pierce. We need a hard series to get us mentally and physically prepared for the Bulls or Pacers, followed by a Miami showdown.
