There will be games in the ECF and Finals that are super tight, and where we'll be very testedI keep thinking about our potential problems when we get to the finals against an elite team.But we will be in for the fight of our lives in the upcoming ECF vs either Knicks or Indy.Celtics/Knicks in an ECF - Lawdy, the memories from the early 70's.We'll beat a depleted Knicks team in no less than 5, just like we did in the regular season. We actually very well may sweep them given all the hype the New York Media Machine is putting on the Knicks undeservedly, such that we won't play down to the competition as much.

The ECF for the 6th time in 8 years.We've gone 8-2 for the playoffs thus far and played in only one clutch game, which we won, and we've done it mostly without our third best player for 75% of the games. Every other team is going 6 or 7, and honestly, we've had long stretches where we've not played super well and played down to the competition.Regardless of the competition, given all of that I think we're right where we need to be and should be happy. I think some people are a little unrealistic with their expectations that we should be blowing out teams every night just because of our regular season record. That's simply not how it works in the NBA, especially the playoffs and even with guys out. Stars being out only opens up more opportunities for other NBA-level players.

Which of these two remaining teams pose that grit for them?
