Celtics 2025-26 Regular Season Discussion

[Donoghus]

Have to admit, I kind of like this brewing rivalry between the Celtics and Knicks. Lots of back and forth "fighting" going on between Celtics fans and Knicks fans on social media. Even the players on both sides compete hard against each other. Both teams are contenders and should be in the next few years as well with stars like Brunson, Tatum, Jaylen, etc. It's Boston-New York which should always be a rivalry but you usually associate that with the Yankees-Red Sox, not Celtics-Knicks.

Would love to have a chance to avenge last year's playoffs as well this May.

So far the Knicks have owned the Celtics in recent history in the playoffs. I'm itching for the C's to finally beat them in the playoffs. Same goes for Boston sports vs New York sports. Hate the Yankees and Giants (and Jets) for defeating our Boston sports teams when it truly mattered 😡

Recent history like last year?  The Knicks miss the playoffs so often we have not had the chance to beat them.

exactly.  in order to have a rivalry, don't both sides have to be relevant, not just one (celtics)?

Maybe he's referring to the oft forgotten and ultimately irrelevant 2013 series featuring a "running on fumes" New Three?

He certainly was not referring to the 2011 1st round sweep.
