The Boston Celtics Series will be tough but going through Indy and 76ers will make the team grow as well, if Randle was healthy I could see the Knicks winning in 6 games vs Celtics, but I think Thibs can beat the Celtics in 7 games Celtics had a very easy games and is probably versing the Cavs in the 2nd round the Knicks had a tougher road to conference finals so for that I would give Knicks an edge there

@brianharris9949 14 дней назад

Definitely are missing Randle but they have been doing it for so long without him that they are use to it now. Donte and OG have to step up for sure and provide some of that secondary scoring. Hart is the wildcard. The team just is physical and have heart. Plus they play defense. Not a pushover for any team. Have to get by a tough Pacers team but I have the Knicks in 6.
