What was once a, "Knicks in 5, 6 at worst!" from Knicks fans, looks like it has been turned on it's head. A rockin' TD Garden with a galvanized, playoff-tested, veteran Celtics team will feed off every ounce of emotion from that city.
Suddenly their first playoff win in 13 seasons isn't the walk in the park it appeared to be.
Even the Heat wouldn't want to play the Celtics right now who have national and international support by default.
It'll be interesting to see the lines for these games and what is likely to be some lines driven down in the Knicks favor because of this, at least for Celtics home games.

To add to the above about Miami, that is the Heat as a #1 seed being thrown a lower seed bone like the Bucks in the first round, and instead they would get major wear and tear in an extended series and intense media focus for what should be business as usual.
That is what is awaiting the Knicks and the #2 seed they earned.

Boston is terrible, do you watch the NBA? I'll say it, Knicks vs Boston will be a walk in the park for the Knicks.
Boston is a completely different team in the playoffs. They execute and play defense. The knicks give the ball to Melo and JR and tell them to go. Knicks can have the green light and shoot stupid shots in the regular season, but in the playoffs when every possession counts I can't see them being so trigger happy as they usually are. Their shooters will be hesitant and JR will not be as good as he's been.
Not to mention Doc Rivers is a genius so you know his gameplan is going to be on point.
It will be a good series, but Boston should take it in 6.

please just shut up, the bombing won't mean jack sh1t on how they play
Oh really?
Did it affect how the Yankees played in 2001?
Were the Yankees mindful of the fact Mayor Giuliani was in the stands with an FDNY hat on and current policemen and firemen who were at the scene were in the stands cheering for them?
How about when George Bush threw out the first pitch at Yankee stadium and the field was covered with a giant American flag held by servicemen during the playoffs?
What about families of fallen at the game?
Do you think this all played out in a vacuum in the Yankees players minds?
Do you think Boston players will treat their homes games as, "just another game" and "we don't get involved with all that" when asked about the attack on Boston?
Were you even around to understand the impact of 9/11, sports or otherwise?
Think before you speak because I will hold you accountable for what you type.

Do some research and you'll find that history shows elevated performance levels of a home pro sports franchise immediately following a catostrophic civic event. It is a component of the first steps of the healing process and provides an outlet for the wounded spirit to rise up and say loud and clear.
F-CK YOU !!!
I may not bet the first game of that series, but it sure the hell won't be against Boston
The hyenas and jackles are back.

Nah, no comparison. Terror bombs people fleeing death amputations country wide hysteria major city, intent to kill many more tha just 2...
Comparisons will never be EXACTLY the same, but the psychological effect is almost exactly the same with many, many people saying this is how they felt during 9/11.
And that is what we are dealing with: psychology...

You just said, "THE WRONG THING" Loser............if it was your 8 y/o son who died, or your brother / sister who lost his or her arms or legs, I am sure you wouldn't be typing "BS little metal pressure cooker bomb"....... A difference in comparison of the events might be one thing, but you just lost any respect I ever had for you!
You better start planning your apology letter to the group.
oh really you wanna start going with me?? what about the innocent children our government killed in afganistan? 17 innocent kids died, this happens almost every day but you don't hear this in the maistream media do you?? what about those kids that died?? why don't we mourn their deaths?? this country is full of bs lies i could go on but its worthless

Buffalo11 - you are on sick person. First of all if you think this country is full of lies then get the hell out of the USA why are you living here if you hate it so much. Secondly don't compare this to Afghanistan and the children because do you for sure know what really happend there? Or did you just hear about it on TV or from the media. I have a lot of friends in the military and they all say there is a lot more to that story than you think. Grow up how would you feel if your kid or someone you loved was in the bombings? This is not something little stop trying to compare this to 911 or other terrorist attacks. It's an act of terror plain and simple and the people or person that did it will get justice and I hope they suffer for the rest of their lives. You should be proud to be an American I know I am. Why do you think everyone comes over here to live? It's to live a better life. So buffalo have some class grow up and pray for those families of the fallen and wounded in the bombings. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Boston today sports aside that was a horrific event that happened yesterday and I hope they catch who's responsible.

Of course there is going to be emotion from the Boston tragedy but Celtics are done Knicks win in 5. Knicks have best shot at beating heat I think itll happen. Really a sad thing that happened in Boston

Can we refrain from the 'love it or leave it' mantra? It is so childish.
He doesn't HATE his country nor is he sick. He is making a point about drone strikes and the collateral damage of war which is abhorrent, something you are apparently oblivious to.
Take that Beavis and Butthead chest-thumping elsewhere...

The Yanks lost the World Series in 2001. They won the World Series from 1997-2000. Hmmm. Maybe the 9/11 tragedy made the Yanks play worse.
IMO, the Boston bombing tragedy might fuel the C's with a bit more adrenaline for a game or so. But that's about it. KG, Pierce, Jason Terry and other C's get plenty of motivation from the playoffs.

There's a genocide going on in Africa, there are people people with no food or water living in a warzone, there are little children dying of AIDS everyday yet this small incident is on everyone's mind. Give me a break, is it bad that 2 people died? Yeah sure but there are things 1000x worse going on right this second. You fools are just enclaved by the media reporting and milking it to no end
