It’s official. The 3vs6 Playoff Matchup will be the Boston Celtics versus the New York Knicks. With Boston’s loss tonight to the Washington Wizards, the matchup has been solidified. With Boston being the obvious favorite in the matchup do to their more favorable seed and divisional record against the Knicks this season (3-0), some Knicks fans may be writing NY off already. The way I see it, if Boston was playing the way they were in the middle of the season, I wouldn’t think NY had a shot at a 7 game series win. The last 10 games Boston is 5-5, and they’re playing average basketball. Ever since the trade of Kendrick Perkins (personally I think it was a terrible trade), the Celtics have been playing out of character.
It’s also important to note that even though the Knicks are 0-3 against Boston this season, this was before Melo came back home to NY. It’s time for the NY Big 3 to butt heads with the Boston Three Party! Hopefully this result is better than the First Round sweep by the NETs in ’03…
