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.
