I think the real key is beating there second unit every game. Also, Jr should have his way with them and if they put Bradley on him I hope Felton is healthy enough to hurt them in the PnR game.

If we go into the playoffs expecting to see the regular season Celtics, then we're going to get blasted. Much as I can't stand them, Celtics have impressed me with the way they raise their game in the playoffs- they took the Lakers to 7 games and the Heat too.

This is going to be a tough, tough, tough series. Key for us is how we deal with the refs BS calls, KG's head games,and whether we can raise our game too. Victory will be tough to achieve, but will taste that much sweeter...

Add to that the fact that the Celtics get up to play the Knicks enough as it is and it'll be a battle for sure.
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

I couldn't take losing to them in these playoffs- I'm haunted by the level with which Paul Pierce would smugly gloat- we have to win!

Oh for sure. It was bad enough seeing him blow that stupid kiss to the MSG crowd this season. This team has what it takes to beat him and im really looking forward to seeing it.

we only have to win one game out of 3 to make it a lock or Indiana lose one game out of 3
however, we do play the Bobcats tomorrow on a back to back

Atlanta is the last game of the season for us

Knicks
========

Indiana (today)
Bobcats (tomorrow)

Atlanta (wed)


Pacers
========

New York

Boston(Tuesday)
Philly(Wed)


It should be "almost" as good as a lock though

1- I really hope we do not look to allow Celtics to dictate the match ups by running the PnR and us ALWAYS SWITCHING when not needed, we have to look to fight through the screens most of the times, especially if possible

2- Also, whoever Bradley is defending, try to not do too much that is out of your control, especially get all fancy

3- KG is their only shot blocker so our team has to be aware of this and take advantage of he focuses on with the weak side
Not sure if Copeland will be play C, but if he does, let him hit take good 3pt's if KG does not come out in time to contest the shot, while some attack for rebounds
He could play as a top go to guy and take advantage of certain match ups

4- Don't let Terry get wide open shots, I know he has not been good this year as a Celtic, but he is not a player that you want to get going and feeling good about himself

I think this board overrates the Celts. The only way they can beat us is repeat of Honey Nut case. If Garnett gets under Melo's skin it will be over. Other than that, they just don't have enough firepower. I do hope K-Mart plays though.
TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

I hate the Celtics. It is going to be hard to sleep Friday night. Can't wait for game 1. The Garden will be rocking.

The Knicks need to start cutting off of Melo's post ups because defenses has adjusted to take away the diagonal pass. A simple cut from the opposite top of key player, who heads to the other corner wwith the weakside sliding over to replace the cutter would work.

No better way to continue the NYK Renaissance than to finally exorcise this demon.
