2011 NBA Playoffs: Boston Celtics Dominating New York Knicks 2011 NBA Playoffs, Boston Celtics, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
The Boston Celtics have proven again that they are among the elite in the NBA by blowing out the Knicks Friday night at MSG, 113-96. Nobody—and I mean nobody—predicted a sweep in this series, but the Celtics stand one game away from pulling out the brooms, and here is why: During the regular season, the C’s completely shut down teams with their staggering defense, only allowing 91.1 PPG—good for league best. The Celtics also shot an NBA best .486 from the field, and finished second behind the Bulls in defensive field goal percentage, holding opponents to .434 during the regular ...

Why Boston Celtics Aren’t 3-1 Favorites and Why New York Knicks Could Upset Boston Celtics, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Playoffs, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
The Celtics are 3-1 favorites against the Knicks in the first round of the 2011 NBA playoffs. In my view, this line is primarily a result of this Knicks team not having won consistently since acquiring Carmelo Anthony and, therefore, being a relative unknown quantity whereas this Celtic team are veterans and proven champions. In my mind this line is not reflective of the reality that becomes clear when you analyze position-by-position matchups and look at key team statistical comparisons. Lets look at the matchups: Point Guard: Rondo is a monster and quickest PG in the game but can't shoot a lick. Billups is ...

NBA Playoffs 2011: Will New York Knicks-Boston Celtics Ever Amount to Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry? Boston Celtics, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
The Major League Baseball season is in full swing, and arguably the most intriguing matchup in modern-day sports between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox is back in the spotlight. No other professional rivalry exists wherein both teams harbor such animosity towards one another, and their fans follow suit. The lineups may change, but the clubs remain amongst experts’ picks to represent the American League in the World Series year after year. Competition is always fierce when the Yankees and Red Sox clash, but it is unprecedented during the postseason. With the first-round series between the New York Knicks and ...

2011 NBA Playoffs: New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics Is Best First Round Series 2011 NBA Playoffs, Boston Celtics, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction | Comments Off
The NBA Playoff brackets have been officially set in the Eastern Conference. Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls are the No. 1 seed for the first time since 1998 and have a more than favorable match up with the Indiana Pacers. It would be surprising if the Pacers managed win a single game in the series. Doug Collins and the Philadelphia 76ers are back in the playoffs, but they have a daunting playoff series coming up with Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat. Orlando will face Atlanta in the opening round. The Magic swept the Hawks in the second ...

New York Knicks: Amar’e and Carmelo to Play Boston Celtics in Round 1 Amare Stoudemire, Boston Celtics, Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Can it get any tougher for the Knicks in Round 1 of the 2011 NBA Playoffs? To be honest, I was hoping for a chance to play Miami in the first round, so the Knicks would have a chance to make a statement by pulling off the upset against LeBron and Co. Instead, with a Heat win and a Boston loss tonight, the Knicks will play Boston in the first round. There are a couple of notes to make. Ever since the Celtics traded away Kendrick Perkins they just have not been able to score the ball as well as they did ...

NBA Preview Atlantic Division: How Will These Five Teams Fare in 2010? Amare Stoudemire, Boston Celtics, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, paul pierce, Preview/Prediction, Ray Allen | Comments Off
Last season, the Atlantic Division was arguably one of the weakest in the NBA, sending only one team, the Boston Celtics, to the postseason. However, this offseason was a busy one, and each of these five teams, The Celtics, Knicks, Nets, Raptors, and Sixers, all made key moves that will impact their performance in this upcoming season. Let's break down each team's offseason and assess their expectations for the 2010-2011 season. Boston Celtics: Key Acquisitions: Shaquille O'Neal (C), Jermaine O'Neal (PF) Key Departures: Rasheed Wallace (PF), Tony Allen (SF) After a somewhat shocking run to the NBA Finals last ...

Time creeps up on the best of us. I used to be able to eat a whole burrito, and it wouldn't induce a weekend-long coma. Age just has a way of catching up to you. So it is the same with the fittest of athletes. Careers are fleeting. One day you are hitting a buzzer-beater, and the next you are waiver wire fodder with no teams interested in your services. It is the sad reality of the NBA. While you may fall in love with your favorite players, their time to hang it ...

NBA Finally Front and Center This Offseason: That Good for the Game? Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, NBA, NBA History, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
David Stern went on record by saying that he hoped LeBron stayed in Cleveland. Many shared his sentiment. I can't help but believe that Stern may be changing his mind based on the amount of attention the NBA and their top players are getting as a result of the free agent signings. What has happened with LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and Stoudemire as a result of free agency has shown that if the players want to, they can exert more control over where they play than the owners of the team. In the big scheme of things I think that would bring ...
