| NBA Picks: NY Knicks vs. Boston Celtics |
Don’t bet on the NBA without checking the latest betting options and basketball odds at the top rated sportsbook Bet Phoenix. It’s been a long time coming, but New York fans can finally look forward to their beloved Knicks contending in the Eastern Conference once again. It seems like a lifetime ago since the Knicks were among the East’s elite, back in the Patrick Ewing era to be exact. However, it’s 2011 and a pair of forwards in Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudamire are here to bring New York basketball back to where it should be. Even though New York failed to win a playoff game in their series with Boston last season, just making the playoffs was an achievement for a New York team that had gone nearly decade without reaching the postseason. However, with Carmelo Anthony now fully settled in, plus the addition of championship center Tyson Chandler, a lot more than just making the playoff is expected of this team. In other notable transactions, veteran point guard Chauncey Billups was waived under the NBA's new amnesty clause, which paved the way to sign Chandler. The Knicks likely replacement to start will be Mike Bibby, who just recently signed a one year deal for the veteran’s minimum. (On a side note, I think Iman Shumpert will be starting for the Knicks soon enough. I never said anything, but Shumpert was my by big sleeper on draft night and I thought whoever got him was getting a steal. I think he will be fan favourite in New York and a Rajon Rondo type player in three or so years. You heard it here first) Although the Celtics didn’t really lose anyone this summer, their offseason has been a disappointing to say the least, due to the fact that they didn’t really add any youth to an already aging roster. The Celtics flirted with a potential Chris Paul for Rajon Rondo swap and tried to sign power forward David West, but instead lost out on both. What’s worse, the little depth they did have will be even thinner now that Jeff Green, who just signed a one year deal, will have to undergo heart surgery next month and will miss the entire season. This game could be the start of a serious rivalry renewed by the Boston and New York fans as they get excited to see this tip-off.
