After Game 5 Brown declared that his \u201cbody didn\u2019t feel right\u201d for the entire first half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five days later and the Celtics All-Star now claims that he\u2019s turning the corner and trending towards 100% health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OHHHH-KAAAAY.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As much as I would like to believe that\u2019s the case, I highly doubt Brown went from gimpy to spry in less than a week. Which is fine, a little subterfuge and gamesmanship is called for in times like these but I\u2019m guessing the Brown we see in this series is pretty close to the same guy we saw during Orlando. Some good, some not so good, some great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why does this matter? Fully healthy I don\u2019t think the Knicks can possibly beat Boston in 7 games. I don\u2019t even think they can make it to 5. But anything less and the door opens just a crack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And yeah, I know about the 4-0 regular season record in which 3 of the 4 games were blowouts. But the 4th game was very competitive and I think this series will be too. The Celtics will score a couple blowouts but the Knicks won\u2019t go quietly. Was gonna go Celtics in 7 but I\u2019m betting on the NBA\u2019s best regular season road team to take a couple in New York and close things out in 6.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>A. Sherrod Blakely: Celtics in 5\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>The Boston Celtics swept the season series against New York, so the overriding sentiment going into their second-round series is how long will ot take for Boston to dispatch of the Knicks.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Jalen Brunson may be the league&#8217;s best clutch player, but when you&#8217;re losing to a team like Boston by more than 16 points per game, the clutch gene is useless.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Look for Jayson Tatum to cool off some from a strong first-round performance, and expect Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday to be major factors in this series.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Porzingis is coming off arguably the worst five-game stretch as a Celtic. Take that along with matching up against Karl-Anthony Towns into account. What you have is a recipe for a strong KP performance.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">And Holiday&#8217;s presence will indeed be a factor in limiting Brunson.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Jimmy Toscano: Celtics in 6\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Boston. New York. The fan bases of these two cities used to hate each other, and then baseball got weird and ruined everything. But the Celtics and Knicks can fix all of that starting tonight when the Knicks and Celtics begin a second round NBA playoff matchup that could possibly spark a rivalry between the two franchisees that surprisingly enough has never gained much steam, at least compared to some other NBA franchisees over the years. I won\u2019t bore you with the history of the NBA, I will leave that to Nick Gelso.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">What I will say is this: aside from a little physicality and some barking back-and-forth that I would expect in a playoff series, I don\u2019t see this being super competitive. Do the Knicks possess a better offense than the Orlando Magic? Absolutely. But so does your high school\u2018s junior varsity team. The Knicks, however, lack something that the Magic definitely possess, which is a strong defense.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Boston has been able to exploit New York\u2019s defensive weaknesses this season and even though the Celtics are a little banged up, a clean injury report tells me that they should be able to do the same in this playoff series. The other big news on the injury front, is that <strong>Jrue Holliday<\/strong> appears to be fully back. He has been instrumental in the Celtics success defending New York. Containing <strong>Jalen Brunson<\/strong> is no easy task, but when fully healthy, it\u2019s hard to bet against a back court of holiday and <strong>Derrick White<\/strong>. Add in the rest of the starting unit in Boston has a clear advantage here. The bench has room to improve after a largely ineffective first series. I like what KAT has given New York this year, but what he gives offensively he takes away defensively.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I like <strong>Josh Hart\u2019s<\/strong> game and can see him being a pain, and OG could be a difference maker. It almost feels like absolutely nobody is giving the Knicks any respect, which concerns me a little bit. I think Bobby Manning has the Celtics in 3 games. Although Boston does not show up on the injury report going into this one, I would not be surprised to see some names pop up as the series progresses. For that reason, I am going to give the Knicks some hope. I think they definitely win one game and could win two, but I don\u2019t see the Celtics trailing in this series at any point.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Noa Dalzell: Celtics in 5 <\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I have the Celtics taking this one in 5 games. I\u2019m (almost) never going to predict a sweep, but I do think there\u2019s been a pretty substantial gap between these two teams, especially when they\u2019ve matched up head-to-head this season. I have a healthy respect for the Knicks, and do think there\u2019s another gear they can reach that we haven\u2019t really seen yet. But, they haven\u2019t shown me enough to make me think they can steal multiple games here when no team has against the Celtics since 2023.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Bobby Manning: Celtics in 4\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Things might change in the playoffs, but I don&#8217;t see anything drastically swinging in the Knicks&#8217; favor. Especially with the Celtics beginning this series fully healthy. <strong>Karl-Anthony Towns\u00a0<\/strong>hasn&#8217;t been able to generate threes in this matchup, a less-equipped Pistons team already took New York to six games and dared\u00a0<strong>Jalen Brunson\u00a0<\/strong>to beat them. He eventually did with 40 points in Game 6 and looks as dangerous as any single player in the league, but no reliable depth emerging around him against Boston during the regular season I don&#8217;t believe in this team. <strong>Mitch<\/strong><strong>ell Robinson\u00a0<\/strong>can swing things, and I&#8217;m curious how often the Knicks go to him to give themselves a size and physicality advantage. It wasn&#8217;t often in the first round and the lone game he appeared in against the Celtics, but he helped New York lead for most of that game in April before they collapsed late and lost in overtime.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Celtics and Knicks begin their second round series on Monday at 7 p.m. with Boston entering as an overwhelming favorite, reaching -1000 in the Vegas odds shortly after New York beat Detroit in Game 6 to advance to Boston.
