Playoffs: How will the Knicks guard our new starting five? Advantage Celtics?

If the Knicks realize they can really stifle the C's offense with some fullcourt pressure -- especially on Bradley -- the game's over because Doc won't react fast enought to diffuse it. 

C's are a jumpshooting team.  have been since Big Al left town.  when they're on (and I mean everyone's having an 'on' night), they can beat anyone.  problem is, that's a rarity. 
JET, Lee, Bradley, Bass, Green (less so nowadays), KG and PP are too prone to off nights.  add in the lack of offensive rebounding due to Doc's defensive schemes, C's can't win when more than 1 of these guys is off.

Despite how well tha Knicks may be playing right now it's not guaranteed that their recent play will continue into tha playoffs against tha Celtics. I still see tha Celtics getting past tha Knicks. I'd rather see Bradley and Lee at tha 1/2 for perimeter defense because most of their points come from behind tha 3 point line. And if tha Celtics can cut off most of their 3 point shooting, tha Knicks will have a hard time.
