These Boston Celtics are starting to pique my interest. I might just have to check a couple of games. Are they really good?

Yup. I also prefer the Knicks. They will just try to match us with firepower, which will obviously fail.

Knicks would be ideal. They are a soft team and they cannot outshoot us. Pistons are like the Magic, kind of. Celtics in 5 either way. I am grateful we are not playing against the Pacers. That would drain all our energy. Nesmith the Rabid would injure multiple players.

FUN FACT: Jordan Walsh has never not made the NBA Finals.

We're not starting now. He's still on pace to become the first player in NBA history to win multiple titles before age 22.

Honestly I think i'd prefer the Pistons because tickets will be cheaper vs the Pistons then they will against the Knicks.

Very similar to the Gabe Pruitt effect. Hopefully the Walsh effect is better. :D

We (Knicks) are going to have to play to perfection to have a chance. No injuries, everyone performing and a little luck. I personally respect the hell out of your squad, and it will take us playing out of or minds to advance.

Anunoby is the most important player in this series for the Knicks. If he can stick to Tatum without getting switched/screened off, Cs would have to rely on JB and others to produce. Tatum will cook any other defender/coverage. In any case, I would be surprised if Knicks take two games if we are healthy. Praying KP steps up in this series. Knicks are less physical than the Magic and he should be able to take advantage of his matchups.

I speak for all Knicks fans when I say that we’re just grateful to get past the Pistons and get to the EC semis. The Celtics are the defending NBA champs. The Knicks are playing with house money. All the pressure is on you.

The series should have some great matchups:

-Towns and KP

-OG and Tatum

-Mikal and Brown

-Brunson and Hart vs Jrue and White

Anyhow, here’s to a well-refereed and hard-fought series!

With respect,

:beer:
