I agree brotha mizzo. Remember I told you and everyone at the begining of the season I said the celts would win the championship. I think you were the only one brotha that believed me. I even picked them to beat the suns in the finals. But then I changed it when the lakers got the Gasol. But without Bynum the lakers will lose.

If no Bynum we will have to wait till next year to see lakers vs celts in the finals.

Oh yeah and I do believe that the celts will win 2 championships with this squad.

Now let me go in a corner and cry because my bulls are the most poorly ran team in the NBA.

If a big shot is needed in a Celtics game it will be taken by Sam I Am with little to no hesitation. PP, KG, and Jesus are cute, but when the game is on the line the opposing team better watch out for Cassell.
Anyhow, I only make predictions based on the round that’s being played. That being said,
Detroit, Atlanta (yeah I’m still saying it) Cleveland, Orlando, Los Angeles, San Antone, New Orleans, and Utah advance.

Diallo, if KG won’t shot it Paul Piece will. They are scary. But, luckily Detroit has Rasheed for KG, Rip for Allen, Tayshuan for Prince, but who got Chauncy and and McDyess

I’m not hating. But can you give me examples of them coming through in the clutch? **crickets**

Now all of a sudden, it’s a given that they will dominate in 4th quarters, while being coached by a guy who’s NEVER WON A PLAYOFF SERIES? I’m not saying the C’s won’t win. But I can’t say it’s a gimme. And no, I’m not banking on the Lakers winning either. Pau’s never won a series. How will Farmar, Sasha, and Ronny come through with the heat is on? Will Bynum and Ariza come back, and if they do will they be productive?

You see Mizzo, I talk trash. But I’m also objective. Now, if the C’s falter and the Lakers cruise, you’ll see more talking and less objectivity:)

Detroit is the only chance the league has of beating the Celtics. I give you that.

Man stop hatin’ Laker fan. KG, Ray Ray and PP together yeah you know you in trouble…

Boston can win the title, but I’m not handing it to them. I don’t think Ray Ray will get open looks in the 4th, because who is gonna double Garnett? He doesn’t want to shoot the ball!!! lol How many of the Big Three have come through consistently in crunch time? Reg season wins mean nothing. Look at Dallas and Detroit for recent confirmation.

Mizzo people said the same thing about the Patriots, no way they can be beat.

I don’t know how it will be done, I just believe that Detroit will be the champs in the East.

The one concern that I had when this team was assembled was that they would burn out from logging heavy minutes. That has not been the case. Compared to recent seasons Garnett’s “monster games” are down that’s not just because of Pierce and Allen. Doc Rivers has done a good job of playin them in only necessary situations. These three healthy for the most part and rested.

What were going to see in the playoffs is how the came out of the gate to begin the regular season, they still have to be careful that these are potential 7-game series and there is no need to burn them out.

Just one question for everyone. How the hell are you going to stop Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce enough possessions to win 4 games in a series? Are we forgetting just how good each of these players are? I know everyone is underestimating Rajon, but don’t sleep on his game at either end. Detroit has gotten younger, but the team LeBron ran through singlehandedly will be on the floor in the fourth. So…a team with three of the best players of this era that won 66 games is not winning it all? I just can’t see it and I love Detroit. One thing to look at when watching Celtic games is their shooting percentage out of double teams. If they are hitting with anything close to 50%, no one in this league can stop them.

Honestly I can’t see the Lakers making it past the 2nd round. I also don’t think Boston will get the East from Detroit.

My finals are Detroit vs. Mavericks.

Lakers vs. Celtics would be great. I’ve been a Laker fan for years, and would love to see it, if only for nostalgia’s sake. I don’t think it’ll happen, though. The Lakers are still a year (and Andrew Bynum having close to a full season) away from being able to win it all. The West is really wide open for at least the top seven teams. Celtics have the big three. But I think Detroit has a better team. It would be interesting to see who would win that one. I think Rondo vs. Billups would be the real key to that match up.
