Knicks Losing Grip of Series

After leading the Celtics 3-0 in the best of 7 series in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.  The New York Knicks have lost their grip on the stranglehold they once had.

The Celtics have made it a 3-2 series, and are looking to tie it up tonight at the TD Garden in Boston.

Ever since the elbow JR Smith threw on Celtics' guard Jason Terry, the momentum has shifted to the men who bleed green.

The Knicks need more consistency from Carmelo Anthony, their star forward who won the NBA's scoring title.  The pick and rolls have been effective since Kevin Garnett can no longer hedge and stay in front of agile and speedy guards.

I still expect the Knicks to win the series.  However, the Celtics are attempting to accomplish what no team has before, come back from an 0-3 deficit, and it's quite possible they will.
