Brian Sinkoff was joined on "Sound-off with Sinkoff" Monday (4/25/11) by Marc Berman, the Knicks beat writer for the New York Post.

The Knicks first playoff series in 7 years didn't last long.  Boston defeated New York on Sunday, 101-89 on Sunday to win the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series, 4 games to none. A promising season ended with a thud.  So what's next for New York?

The Knicks figure out another way to collapse down the stretch in the NBA Playoffs.

After last night's 96-93 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game #2, I have figured out one thing. This series is over!

Any chances the Knicks had to beat Celtics might have gone up in smoke when Chauncey Billups drove to the basket in the final minute on Sunday and came down lame.

If Game #1 is any indication of what’s to come in the Knicks/Celtics series, call me an NBA Playoff fan!  All I can say is, “Wow.” Ray Allen hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 12 seconds left as Boston rallied to beat New York 87-85 in Game #1 of the NBA Playoffs on Sunday night. Here are a few of my observations in the Knicks first playoff game in 7 years.

This is just flat-out embarrassing.  Losing to the lowly Cleveland Cavaliers is bad.  Losing to the horrid Cavs twice in a one-week span after trading for Carmelo Anthony is awful.  Believe it or not, there is actually more bad news.

Carmelo and the Knicks beat the Heat thanks to defense of all things.  Cam Newton wasn't exactly the most accurate quarterback at the NFL Combine.

I'm a huge fan of this commercial.  It's poetic, well-constructed, and I almost wept a little bit when I saw this live.  Not quite, but it's very well done.

The Denver Nuggets' home crowd chanted "Who Needs Melo" in the first game of the post-Carmelo Anthony era.  They should have been chanting this instead.

After all of the free agent signings and trades, many people out there now think the NBA will soon be made up of a few "super" teams and then everyone else. Well, I'm here to tell you that this is how sports have been for years.  And quite frankly, I like it that way (and I'm not even a fan of any of these teams)!

After missing out on Carmelo Anthony, the New Jersey Nets pulled off a blockbuster trade of their own on Wednesday. New Jersey agreed to a three-team deal to acquire All-Star point guard Deron Williams from the Utah Jazz.   But I don't like this move at all.
