Yeah, yeah. I picked the Knicks in six.
Alas, they lost game one by two points, on a late bucket by Ray Allen — who got open courtesy of an uncalled offensive foul by Kevin Garnett — and after losing five-time All-Star Chauncey Billups to injury earlier in the fourth quarter.
And they lost game two by three points, after losing six-time All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire to injury in the first half. Carmelo Anthony’s heroics — 42 points, 17 boards, and six assists — were wasted. Celtics fans have to love the non-call on Paul Pierce’s foul of Anthony on a baseline drive in the fourth quarter — the refs showed less restraint with 21 seconds left in game one when they called Anthony for an offensive foul against a flopping Paul Pierce away from the ball.
The Celts may win this series, but they’re done after that. They’re not going to get those parquet-floor calls in Miami.
