BOSTON — There are two things which New Yorkers overrate above all else. The quality of their pizza and the relevance of the New York Knicks.
The Celtics and those Knicks begin their best-of-seven playoff series on Monday as the Big Apple Circus comes to TD Garden.
The Knicks will bring with them an exaggerated spotlight, tons of media attention and a whole lotta razzle-dazzle.
All of which helps obscure the fact that playoff basketball always ends in disappointment for Knicks fans and usually ends pretty early in the postseason.
