First off, I didn't label anyone "absurd." But thanks for putting words in my mouth.
Secondly, I'm not amping the Celtics. In fact, I never even mentioned them anywhere in my posting. But thanks for putting words in my mouth again. Has anyone ever asked if you were a lawyer before?
Anyway, I hate them (Celtics) and any New England teams. I'm not pushing forth any teams in fact. I'm simply stating the actualization that people need to stop placing the NY Knicks as a top 8 team in the East (which really isn't saying much) because of biased opinions.
Thirdly, since we're on the topic of the Celtics, look at any professional and respected articles relating to NBA rankings. Look who's on the top of the lower-tier Knicks? That's right. The Celtics. These analysts get paid well for a reason.
Trust me, I want the Knicks to win a championship as much as the next NY Knicks fan, but people also have to come back to reality and get off their high horse.
