The Celtics shouldn’t be scared of the New York Knicks. I realize this could age very poorly.
I also realize that the Knicks have yet to play the Celtics with the full complement of their forces. They made a flurry of trades to bolster their roster before the deadline, including two fairly-substantial deals to add both OG Anunoby and Bojan Bogdanovic, the former missing Saturday’s win.
To continue to hedge my bets against this potentially career-ending opinion, the Knicks were also without All-NBA forward Julius Randle on Saturday, who has been out since January 27 with a dislocated shoulder.
