The Boston Celtics proved once again that when it comes to Playoff time, they always have another gear. The Celtics were well balanced with 4 different players leading the team in scoring over the four games. Rondo averaged 19 ppg and 12 apg. The quick series also gives the veteran team some time to prep for their next series against the Heat.
The New York Knicks were ultimately too shallow to keep up with a healthy Celtics. After trading players 2-6 away to the Nuggets this season only to get players 2 & 3 in return means that this team was not prepped to overcome the injuries to Billups or Stoudemire. Ultimately the line-up at center of Jared Jefferies, Ronnie Turiaf, and Sheldon Williams was not enough to stop even Jermaine O'Neal.
As for DMack's prediction, Boston in 7, he was right about the winner, but Boston managed it much faster than 7 games. Boston had struggled through the end of the season, and the Knicks did look good in big games. The injuries to Stoudemire and Billups were unforeseen, but no apologies! Boston moves on, DMack gets a pass.
