amare is a center and he will put up big numbers, other than that i think C's experience will win out, celts in 6
Rondo is killing Boston's offense. It's 4 on 5. Fortunately for Boston, Billups is playing like a dog.
NY is just making their jumpshots right now; and boston will continue to give that to them. rondo having to be a scorer now is the primary problem with the celtics. i think their offense has dipped more than their defense since the perkins trade. if the knicks can sustain this type of defense and offensive balance, they'll win in 6.
this is going to be the best playoffs run in recent memories. 2nd and 3rd rounds are also going to be epic.
Boston's offense and defense are both bad. They just don't have it tonight. Unless PP goes off and carries them, it will be tough for them to win unless they are a completely different team in the 2nd half. Just think if Rondo hadn't hit his last 2 jumpers. It's crazy he's taken 10 shots in the 1st half. After last Sunday, we were all salivating about the obvious 2nd round matchups in the East. At this point, we don't know what those will be now.
