There was a time where I also thought the Knicks would be an easy match for the Celtics.
Now I am not so sure.
If the Knicks rely less on outside shooting and more on their size, they could pose a hell of a problem.
Remember, right now we are seriously vertically challenged.
The Knicks have Chandler, KMart, Amar'e and others they can throw at us (Sheed, Camby, Kurt Thomas could be back for playoffs, right?)
Also, the other part of the Knicks that's worrying me is that JR Smith, Felton and Prigioni (sp?) are a better backcourt than I thought and JR Smith particularly killed us when they were in Boston a couple weeks back.
If the whole team is clicking with Carmelo leading the way with his typical 40 ppg, we could have a much harder time with them than I thought.
I am hoping come playoff time, we see the same old Knick team from last year and prior and that's catch the ball and shoot it wherever you are.
