Honestly, whether it's currently a rivalry or not doesn't really matter, because it will be, since the Knicks are back. Amare Stoudemire has led the Knicks back into Eastern Conference relevancy, where the franchise should be. And his supporting cast, guys like PG Raymond Felton, are overachieving.
Let's face it. The Celtics Big Three is old, and everyone knows their best player isn't part of it, Rajon Rondo, who will be out for two weeks. Although currently they're playing well, and have a Finals shot for this year, as of right now their future is foggy.
I'm not going out and saying the Knicks will win the Finals, because they won't; however, they are playing better than they have all decade, which isn't saying much but it's something. The NBA isn't right with the Knicks in the basement, and those days seem to have ended.
Oh, and Paul Pierce, after last night's dogfight, claimed that "the Knicks have arrived."
