It must be really sad to be Nets fan. Gotta brag about Finals appearances from the early 2000s to feel relevant here

Especially since we went the year before

That was in previous quarter of 20th century , hardly anyone’s remember that

Beautiful

Which was the last time our roster had with a pair of wings like OG & Mikal, a stretchy 5 who was backed up by a springy rim protector, and a Brunson

Never , and that’s actually sad

See if your memory was still good enough to remember the year before your finals runs, that joke may not have gone over your head

Looking forward to all the celebrities in Boston and New York for this series.

Hope Aerosmith rock up at TD Garden, they are always welcome. Ditto great man Donnie Wahlberg.

I adore Larry David and Ben Stiller for the Knicks side, and I really enjoy Spike Lee's movies (Malcolm X and The 25th Hour are masterpieces) but his sideline antics can get annoying lol.

I would assume this will be the most hyped 2nd round match up from the media

Your math is wrong 99-2002 isn’t a year but let’s not derail anymore

Let me wear my green hat , Let’s go Celtics !!!

I will be proud Celtics fan next short 4 games

i think KAT has to do more for the Knicks to have a shot at winning the series. More as in superstar franchise player level explosion of 30+ and dominate the boards.

We’ve done “enough” too this point. “Enough” to clinch a top 6 finish early enough to rest guys. “Enough” to lock up home court. “Enough” to advance past a tough young team in round one.

And now the bar for “enough” has jumped a lot; for us to keep doing “enough” we’ll need Karl, we’ll need Spree & H2O, and we’ll need deuce to get on track. So we’ll probably fall short, but it should be a lot of fun.

Celtics 4-0 vs the Knicks this season. 2 blow outs, 1 decent blow out and the last game was close

[The Corey's]

Celtics in 5.

Knick fans will still be saying all summer they would of beat the Celtics (insert whatever excuse it is this time)

[NiceLikeChrist]

With a competent head coach Knicks win in 5 or 6. Thibs mediocrity will push it to 7

[chilluminati]

Celtics in 5, but not a single game will be an easy W for the C's. If NYK wants a better chance, they need to utilize KAT much better than they did in the Detroit series. Playoff Brunson is real, but Boston is very well equipped to deal with Brunson every second he's on the court.

Yeezy Kicks, Crucifix, Knicks in 6!

[Im Coming Home]

Welp, I just don't wanna get embarrassed, hope for a competitive series. This is this Knicks 1st year together, so expecting to beat the champs who have the experience as a team together means its unlikely, especially based off the regular season. That being said.. LETS GO KNICKS!

[Mavrelous]

Celts in 5...

[knicksfan974]

How I see it there is no pressure on the Knicks as the Celtics are considered an overwhelming favorite. The Knicks have a shot though, as I don't see the Celtics as somehow unbeatable. The Knicks have to give it their best effort, let's see how it goes. No pressure. Too bad the Knicks are so poorly coached, they have huge potential but it's the lack of proper coaching that's holding them back.

Gunna be fun when the Celtics just decide to randomly go cold for a series and lose in 5

[Mamba81p]

bad matchip for the knicks. jrue, white and brown will make life very difficult for brunson. Knicks need Towns to go crazy every game, or at least 4 games. Brunson will look for Pritchard like someone looking for a chance to breath.

Usually regular season means nothing, but I've seen enough to see some paterns. Celtics in 5

Only one of them can make life hard for Brunson at a time and we'll probably hide him on Jrue; we've got Mikal for Brown and Hart/McBride for White.

Did you see our last game, when we finally had Robinson back in the rotation?

There's being biased and then there's delusion.

This folks, is delusion.

[Potential]

and the most storied franchise in the NBA. Celtics in 5

They aren’t playing the Lakers.

Lakers are also the most storied franchise in the nba. 2 tied at the top
