Against most teams I'd agree but without Ewing they not going to be able to 
neutralize Smits like they did in the first two games.  Dudley can defend him 
to a point but will also get in foul trouble.  Smits on the otherhand has 
been in foul trouble in the first 2 games but doesn't need to foul Dudley.  
At least I hope I'm right - as a Celtics fan in NY I've grown up hating the 
Knicks.
