The hopeful fan in me has Knicks in 7.
The realist and according to how they looked against them in the season, has Boston in 4 or 5.
Although, Magic getting one makes me hopeful we can get a couple.

The keys will be:
How KAT plays. We need him to be a superstar.
How Brunson handles double teams.
How OG plays. We need him to make Tatum work on D.
How Bridges plays. Need him to hit threes and be aggressive to the rim.
Need our bench to show up.
How we match up against KP and Horford. (MR and KAT please)
And how physical we are with Tatum and Brown.

Brunson will pull some magic out of his hat and win one game. Otherwise...

My heart voted Knicks in 7.

But honestly will feel relieved if we can snatch 1 or 2 games. Don't get swept - please!

Im gonna vote Knicks in 7 just because but I'm really hoping we can get 2 games in this series. I'm not gonna count them out. I still think we haven't seen a peak Brunson game yet in the playoffs...even that 40 bag, he had a bit of a rough go in the 2nd half and missed a cpl open 3's and some floaters didn't go down. I could see him dropping a 50 bag somewhere.

It will be Celtics in 5 or 6, unfortunately.

Not sure the team (as presently constructed) is on that upper tier.

That said, an injury on Boston's end would change things...not that I am hoping for it...just sayin.

Im hoping he need not have to drop 50.
Im hoping KAT has more room to drive. They can go with Horford but he is limited. With KP, He can bully him into fouls, same with Kornet. They have length, but If KAT can keep them busy the lose some offensive prowess.
Then there is Mitch..........

We go big, we can go strong.

Tatum should see Josh, OG and Mikal. Brown will see Josh and Mikal. You don't stop these guys, you slow them down. I don't know what's bothering Jrue but Jalen will have a hard time with him or white. Im worried there. I think Deuce and Shamet can cover White but he gets going thats an issue.

Pritchard and Hauser are problems.

Bottom lime is we won't stop the Celtics but we can inhibit them. Im not confident, but im hopeful.

Read Jaylen Brown did 50MM shoe deal and is donating the whole thing. Great story.
Could be the last of this versions of Celtics who might do a reboot of sorts. Not saying they blow it up but they perhaps move Brown for some picks and get some yoot going forward. Lets make it easy for them!!!! Go knicks!!

G1 Knicks
G2 Celtics
G3 Celtics
G4 Knicks
G5 Celtics
G6 Knicks
G7 Knicks

Bold predictions! Brunson will be the best player in this series, OG will get Tatum into some bad shooting games and White will have a cold series from 3.

And I'm still taking Alba over Sweeney. Not an easy choice though!

I took Knicks in 6. Not sure if I really believe it or not. But I can’t predict us to lose. KP had to go 7/12 to get the Celts to overtime last game. I think we got this.
You know I gonna spin wit it

I think Celtics in 5. I'm strongly hoping to be wrong.
