    Agree Celts in 5. Each team is a house of cards, ready to collapse.

    I'll just wait like last year until the series is all decided, then, I'll vote. You know, since no one thinks to close the poll before the series starts.

    Celtics in 6. I was tempted to say 7 games based off of the Celtics struggling so much lately.

    Celtics in 7.

    The way Boston has been playing lately, Knicks may even have a chance to upset them.

    I'd love to see the Celtics collapse continue, but I don't think the Knicks have it in them to win this series. Celtics in 6.

    You have to have good defense in the playoffs. The Knicks are not even close to the Celtics defensively. They just hope and pray the opponent's miss. They might win 1-2 games, because somebody has a hot streak in 3pters. Celtics in 6.

    what is the point of closing it? it will die out or be locked after the series is over.

    The C's screwed themselves with the Perkins trade. But then the Knicks really don't have a center, so they can't exploit the C's weakness there. You might counter with "Who's going to stop Amare & Melo?", but then "Who's going to stop KG, Pierce, Allen & Rhondo?"! The fact of the matter is Boston playes defense and NY doesn't. Boston in 5!

    Sigh.. this one is going to be close. But I'm going with the Celtics in 6

    I really thought the Celtics could win the east prior to the Perkins trade; one of the dumbest trade ever made by a championship contender.

    Celtics in 6.

    The pre-trade deadline Celtics would have swept, but some combination of injuries and malaise has set in.

    I think Boston is one of the few teams in the league that can't really exploit the Knicks rebounding issues. The Celtics are the third worst rebounding team in the postseason.
