I agree 100%. But this line stood out to me the most.
The Knicks need to start actually BEATING the Celtics before this can turn into some what of a rivalry, but right now I will say that I am hype for the rematch on Dec 21.

And, yes, as far as a brawl goes, it's not a question of "if" it's "when".

Nice writeup and I agree with the sentiment that in order for it to be a real rivalry, a respected rivalry, we need to be able to beat the. I'm talking splitting a season series, maybe meeting them in the playoffs and making it a tough series even if we lose, like how Atlanta took it to them.

For now all it seems to be is a couple of frustrated Knicks tired with losing and reacting poorly to being beaten up by the Eventual, and now, World Champs, who seemed content to taunt us Knicks for stinking up the place all these years.

In the present context, there is no rivalry, it's a couple of Celtics laughing at us, and a couple of Knicks letting their frustration boil over.

Win some games against them, that will change, but I guarantee out of Knick land, there is no respect for the Knicks perceived toughness in jawing with the arrogant Celts.

What Rivalry? People always use to say that Yankees-Red Sox was a Rivalry. It wasn't until Red Sox won a couple championships now its a rivalry. Same goes for Cetics-Knicks there is nothing there until the Knicks do something.

The Celtics were a joke before last year. Their 2006/07 record was a pathetic 24-58. Pierce is 31, KG's 32 and Allen's 33. They're not getting any younger and they're not going to dominate for much longer. See them on the way up, see them on the way down.

Man, the Yankees beat on the Sox for damn near a hundred years and it was the fiercest rivalry in sports.

Yeah, the Celtics are up right now as we speak, but you know the Knicks will catch up eventually. Its just in our blood to hate Boston, and the foundation of a rivalry is being laid. You know the NBA will promote the hell out of it. They're dying for some shyt like this.

Shhhhhh nuff said!!!!

BTW......Donnie needs to get these guys some low budget reinforcements. Knicks need another perimeter scorer and a sidekick for Zach down low.

Hopefully the Knicks get Jared and Junior back with enough games under their belt for the rematch in december!!!

Man , real cool summary there, thx for putting that story together. As for the brawl, i can't see any of the Celtics big 3 starting a fight, i just can't picture it. So it would be a Knick starting it and it would likely come in another loss to them. as for winning some games against them, like many of you have said b4 WE NEED AN ATHLETIC BIG that can intimidate/block/alter shots/punish 'em when they go inside with the layups. Chandler actually surpriced the way he played KG, i hope that trend will continue. I just hope we beat them next game, with the big 3 playing, or at least tie the season series, it would suck if they become Knick-killers as it looks they are about to become right now.

Those Celtics don't wanna play basketball.....they wanna play telephone with all the talking.

I don't want them on the way down, pause, like Rookie said....I would love to bust their ass right now. I don't want this era to go away like the Kidds Nets did......I so wanted to compete with those guys. Hopefully the Knicks can catch the Celtics while they are hot.

It's an unfair fight right now, with the Knicks not yet having a full team in the sense that we don't even play with one guy you could call a center. Still I think we're much more competitive than the league thought we'd be and I like that. We just need to keep working on getting a consistent effort for 48 mins.

I'm hopeful that in time we can get Jared back to at least help take some of the pressure off Zach and Lee. If Curry ever gets in shape enough to play that would help too, so we have more bodies with size to throw at them. I can feel that some kind of trade will go down, but it probably won't happen for a while, cuz MDA and Walsh will need to see how Jared helps or not.
