Flash Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Boston in 5. Just not enough defense from the Knicks. I think Melo and Amare are good enough for them to win a game at home but Boston should go right into playoff mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'm not gonna make a prediction but I will tell you that I'm SOOOOOOOO pumped, FINALLY. THE KNICKS --- HAVE-COME-BACK TO THE N-B-A PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 It's official we play them? If so, should make Wednesday night's game quite interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, should make Wednesday night's game quite interesting.Nah I doubt it will, we'll both be playing scrub diesel's who won't see time in the playoffs. Won't be running any of the same offenses or anything either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be running any of the same offenses or anything either.Yeah, I guess. True. Although, I hope the Knicks aren't rusty. I'd play Melo, STAT, and Billups at least 20 minutes. That's just my take though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I think we're going to see a fair share of Derrick Brown and Billy Skywalker, can't wait. Dunk city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunk city.Yeah...but STAT hasn't played the past two games, would like to see them continue to play together in limited minutes the next two games...just to keep the rhythm they began to get going.

AboveLegit Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Celtics in 5...I would have much rather liked to see the Knicks play the Heat, I think it favors them more than the Celtics match up because Amare won't get his way with KG like he would with Bosh. Pierces loves to play in MSG, I'd be surprised if the Knicks got more than a game in this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierces loves to play in MSG, I'd be surprised if the Knicks got more than a game in this series.Well, Wade and LeBron love playing at MSG too, actually all of the good players do......so that doesn't really matter. To me, the biggest disadvantages for the Knicks playing the Celts has nothing to do with Boston's interior D, which is not that great, sorry. It has to do with the quickness of Rondo, who guards him? Billups is so damn slow. And, Boston does a great job of making the tempo favor them. So the Knicks need to keep the pace quick, and find a way to corral Rondo and they can force it to six. They'll never win the series, but at least it'd be exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Celtics in 6...but this could very well come down to Jeff Green's performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make It Naaaashty Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Knicks will upset the Celtics as Ive already said. Celtics are weaker than people think they are without Perk. Edited April 12, 2011 by Prodigy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I just pray the Knicks will continue to play well. If they go back to playing poorly, they'll get swept and it'll just be embarrassing LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Very excited. Knicks have a chance! New York has acquired 3 of the most dangerous players in playoffs. You really don't want to meet Chauncey in the playoffs. He's money all day every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Malone Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 This is gonna be a good series. We gotta get Amare the ball a lot, because i feel like no one on that team can match up with him down-low since giving away Perkins. Shaq is old and slow, and KG is up on his years too. Chauncey is a former finals MVP so hopefully he can lead the team to a series win. I am kinda worried though after seeing what Boston did last year in the playoffs.
