2012 NBA Playoff Thoughts #2

I think the New York Knicks will be without Amare Stoudemire, because of what he did to his left hand. What a shame. If anything, the Knicks will miss Stoudemire's shooting ability and they will rely more on Carmelo Anthony's offense more than ever. Today's games, I expect the Sixers to make a furious rally after a Game 1 loss to the Bulls. I see Chicago pulling out a win in Game 2. I see the Celtics making a run in Game 2 against the Atlanta Hawks and Boston winning this crucial game. I want to see the L.A. Lakers pound the Denver Nuggets again on the boards in Game 2. I think the Lakers will take Game 2.
