Knicks fans chanted "We Want Boston" after their Game 2 win over the Pacers.
Looks like everyone has Boston circled on their hitlist.
Knicks can only compensate for their current lack of overall talent with aggressiveness.
On the plus side, it could benefit the Cs to play an aggressive team that plays D, is excellent in the 4th, O-rebounds well, and won’t let up. NY will create stressful moments for Celtics fans and they have requisite hatable characters. All that will create some adversity that could be good for the Cs. The downside is increased likelihood of injury. Tired, aggressive teams wil play physically and desperately, especially if there is a talent discrepancy. While injuries can happen against anyone I think it’s more likely v. a team like the Knicks.
All that said, the Cs still have talented team to get past in Cleveland. It’s far from over and I hope the players stay focused - tonight’s a big game.
