Another NBA regular season is grinding to a close, which means it's time to start addressing end-of-the-year honors. First up for Hardwood Knocks: All-Rookie First and Second Team picks. After that, it's on to All-Defense First and Second Team selections. - Before Andy and Dan cannonball into anything, though, they spend ample time breaking down how far the Celtics can go in the playoffs without Kyrie Irving. Are they first-round fodder? Can they win a series? Will they surprise some people and, perhaps, scrap their way into the Eastern Conference Finals? And finally: Should they be concerned about Irving's left knee injury long term? - From there, it's All-Rookie and All-Defense everything. So get ready for some officially official picks. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.
