That would be a disastrous Mission Accomplished.

I want to see two healthy teams go at it. Come what may. No excuses.

Looks like this Boston starting five , they’ll all roll into the court on this lightly used , but still in good condition Paul’s Pierce wheelchair by some knicks fans accounts

I’d still give them a chance :lol:

Yeah, I think we need a training camp and one more guy before we’re in that top tier, but we need to test ourselves against the best, not the best’s bench.

That 6th seed is the 2nd best team in the west and about to roll GSW just as easily as they did LA. Playoff Randle is going to break Draymond in half.

I don't mean this personally against any fans, players, coaches, executives, scouts, media members, team employees, citizens of the state, or anyone else associated in any way with the team, but, just as a basketball team, by the standards of the eight remaining teams, the Knicks are garbage can trash. I predict Celtics in 4, which will give them the edge over whoever comes out of the long series on the other side. (I picked Cavs in 7, thinking Garland was healthy.)

PS I'm not even rooting against them. They are just garbage can trash at basketball.

OG needs to be glued on Tatum, held him to 4/16 from the field and 3/12 from 3. Neutralize him and force someone else to beat you. Not scared of No left either Bridges can deal with him. Will come down to KP/KAT, whoever has the better series will win it.

i think Celtics see what the Pacers did to the Cavs and play with urgency from the start. Boston buzzes to a 10 pt lead early and never look back!

I don't see any team beating Boston.

All season they have looked like the best team in basketball. I think they beat the Knicks in 6.

NBC said they’re bringing back the player introductions. Why did these networks go away from that to begin with? I miss “from North Carolina…Michaellllll Jordannnn!”
