Why the Knicks can win the series but can't beat the Celtics.

David...

That was how the Summer of 2010 started. Amare was brave enough to come to a city that was starving for a hero. He understood what he got himself into and accepted the responsibility of the consequences without knowing what else was yet to come...

He put the team on his back on many nights but when it came to facing the elite competition the Knicks still came up a little short.

Rumors started getting crazy about Amare getting some help. Carmelo Anthony had become a pleasant distraction to Knicks fans all over the world. He handled the situation as best as he could...

And then "He Did This!"

When the season ended Amare was proven to be corrrect.
"THE KNICKS ARE BACK!"

The Knicks finished the season with a winning record for the first time in 10 years and made the playoffs for the first time since 2004.

Their reward? A first round matchup with the defending Eastern Conference Champions...
The Boston Celtics

Goliath!

The Celtics are battle tested and their Organization has plenty of hardware to prove it. If the Knicks are gonna learn how to win, then this is the series to do it. Why not learn and then take what we learn to the next round? I have a very healthy respect for the Boston Celtics and their fans but I'm going with my Knicks in 6. I've been wrong 4 times this season. I'm ready to be wrong 4 more times but I'm sticking with the Knicks until the end.
