We're setting up in the East to have Boston in the Knicks in the second round.

I think the Celtics are better this year.

I just think, you know, the big man rotation is much improved.

They've got all these athletic wings.

You know, there is going to be a certain amount of they're going to have to prove it, not turn into a pumpkin come playoff time.

But this is going to be, to me, the series in the East.

I think the finalist comes out of this second round matchup between Boston and New York.

How do you think Boston handles Mitchell Robinson, especially with the way he's playing right now?

We're going to talk about that after the break.

Pulling him away from the basket.

He's big too, by the way.

I think people don't realize that because he does shoot so many threes.

That's what it's all about, Fred.

That's what everyone would have been buying tickets for.

I know.

And because it was replaced so much by boxing in.

Do you know, I mean, you know, the entire schematic change, like shooting, aiming for back rim misses on threes so you get the longer rebound, right?

I mean, the game is so much different now.

And that's why it's kind of amazing that these guys like Mitchell Robinson, he's been able to carve out an elite role.

Like, it's not just like, hey, he comes in on free throws.
