My Prediction
Boston Celtics by 9My, oh my, if this isn't the kind of matchup you've got your Grandma to keep her dentures on for! It's the historic rivalry of the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics that's got our hearts racing faster than a rabbit on Red Bull.
Let's peek at the cast, starting with the New York Knicks. We have Jalen Brunson primed and ready to go, carving a path with impressive 31.5 points per game in these playoffs. We're also keeping an eye on Karl-Anthony Towns, the big fella with 19.7 points and a cool 10 rebounds per game. Clearly, these guys didn't come to make friends.
But hold your horses Knicks fans, enter the Boston Celtics. We have Jayson Tatum, the man's got points flying out of his hands faster than a Vegas card dealer with an average of 31.3 points. Then we have Jaylen Brown, not trailing too far behind with an admirable 23 points. They certainly did not come to play patty-cake.
Considering past matchups, the Boston Celtics have practically turned the Knicks into their welcome mat, handing them losses more times than they'd like to admit. And let's not forget the Celtics' shiny 61-21 regular-season record, which, if I do say so myself, is looking a tad more radiant than the Knicks' 51-31. Now no offense, but if we're judging by history here, I'd put my money on the guy who's already won the lottery than the fella who's just played it for the first time.
As far as the recent results are concerned, Boston seems to be cruising along smoother than a buttered bowling ball, whereas the Knicks still look like they've been caught in a cat-fight with more back-and-forths than a ping-pong match.
All things considered, as much as the heart roots for an underdog, the head, in this case, is shouting louder than a drill sergeant at 5 AM. Keeping all these factors in mind, I am locked and loaded with my prediction.
