I believe the Celtics didn't quite believe in the Knicks hype. Since a good (too large) portion of the Eastern Conference is just garbage, they probably figure any OK team can beat up on the terrible clubs and come off as gold. Right Miami?

Well the Knicks lost, but they made the old Celtics sweat who lost Rondo in the process.

Won't say they're back yet, but for once since the Clinton Administration, Spike Lee can be a fanboy dick in the stands more than just for the sake of it.
