Perhaps the most exciting first round match up features the Knicks and Celtics. Now I'm not guaranteeing that it's going to be a great series, just the most anticipated due to the star power present on both teams. First a quick recap of the season series between New York and Boston. The Celtics swept all four games from the Knicks. For what it's worth New York fans, your Knickerbockers gave Boston all they could handle. The last meeting between the two teams doesn't count due to all the starters that were rested in what turned out to be a meaningless exhibition game. But if you really get down to it, one can only look back to March 21st meeting. I'm disregarding the first two games because those Knicks teams were completely different than the one presently constituted. In the third meeting between the two teams, New York outplayed Boston for the majority of the game. But in the end, the Knicks completely fell apart, while the Celtics showed their championship pedigree down the stretch. I have a feeling we're going to see more of the same next week. Anyway, let's get to it. Here's my position by position breakdown of the series.
