Are the New York Knicks next for the Boston Celtics?

Will the Boston Celtics face the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals?

The Boston Celtics are through to the Eastern Conference Finals. They dispatched the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games, closing out the series on Wednesday (May 15). As such, the Celtics have earned themselves some additional rest while awaiting the result of the other conference semifinal contest between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers.

New York currently leads the series 3-2. However, the Pacers have proven resilient during the postseason and cannot be counted out. Nevertheless, Tom Thibodeau’s team appears to be Boston’s most likely opponent in the conference finals. 

In the latest episode of the “Celtics Chronicle” podcast, Adam Taylor is joined by Brenden Nunes to discuss the Celtics’ potential path to the NBA Finals and whether the Knicks would be a tougher route than the Pacers. New York plays a stringent brand of defense and boasts an elite scoring guard in Jalen Brunson.

Looking back at Boston’s Game 5 win vs. Cavaliers, Al Horford’s huge night

Thanks to Al Horford and some more heroics from Jayson Tatum, Boston is headed to the NBA’s 2024 Eastern Conference finals.

Thanks to veteran Boston Celtics big man Al Horford and some more heroics from star Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum, Boston is headed to the NBA’s 2024 Eastern Conference finals to face the winner of the Eastern Conference semifinals series between the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks.

After punching their ticket to the East finals with a 113-89 Game 5 win over a banged up Cleveland Cavaliers ball club on this past (May 15) Wednesday night, Tatum said (via the Associated Press) “It just shows the character of the team, the organization. People might think it’s a given we’re supposed to be here.”

The hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast, Bobby Manning, Josue Pavon, Jimmy Toscano, A. Sherrod Blakely and John Zannis, took a closer look at the series clincher postgame. Check it out below!

For the third straight season, the Boston Celtics are headed back to the Eastern Conference finals. They will face the winner of the New York Knicks – Indiana Pacers Eastern Conference semifinals series after beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in their own East semis series.

It’s something that’s hard to do (…) This is another positive step of where we want to get to.”
