They might just get their wish
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Boston Celtics fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Celtics took care of business in 5 games but we are waiting for the result of the Knicks – Pistons series to see who our opponent will be. We asked fans to choose who they would rather play and the majority of fans want to play the Knicks.
In the season series, the Celtics beat the Knicks in all 4 contests. They were also pretty good against the Pistons, finishing 3-1 for the season.
While the Knicks seemed to set up their team specifically to stop the Celtics. They have the high end talent, multiple wing defenders, and a highly respected head coach. However, they just haven’t had a lot of answers for Boston this year.
The Pistons don’t have as much talent on paper, but they are a young, up-and-coming team that don’t seem afraid of the moment. Cade Cunningham in particular seems like a star in the making.
Note: I’m typing this as I watch the first half of game 6, which the Knicks hold the lead in thus far. So by the time you read this we might already know our opponent. So feel free to use the space below to make your early predictions for the next round.
