Celtics are a laugh though, all this overhype about the three vets coming together and not one can seal a deal. Magic nearly pissed himself trying to understand how they are the best team in the league.
All four teams in the West can take them imo.

Hell, the Cavs, Pistons, and perhaps the Magic could take them in 7. I rarely like to call players cowards and shook, but man, the Big Three? The Big Three what is what I'm asking? When Ray and KG played with Cassell in Milwaukee and Minny, respectively, he was the alpha player regardless of what the back of the basketball cards told you. KG was arguably the third option when he played with Sam and Spree. Ray shared the burden (gladly) with Sam, Big Dog, and later Rashard. Paul let Antoine fire away like he had an automatic with .50 cals to spare. Now all three are letting Rondo fire away. They are scared of failure.
LOL@ Gooch, I feel your pain.
Cav's are going to win Game 5 and probably win in 6, then sweep detroit and lose to San Antonio again. You heard it here first.
Any other team but the Spurs from the West. If the Hornets can't knock them off (and I still think they can), then the Lakers or the Jazz. I still think the Lakers will win their series, Kobe's back and all, given how underwhelming the Jazz are on the road.
Seriously, Rondo is the only Celtic starter who looks like he wants to shoot, and crazily enough, he's the worst shooter on the team.
THE CELTICS:
WHERE DEFERRING HAPPENS
He's not only the worst shooter on that team, but on that court, and perhaps in that conference. Maybe Kendrick Perkins but lets limit this to perimeter players.
KG, Ray, and Paul aren't franchise players, but they are great players, Hall of Fame players, but just better as complimentary options. They've had team success in the past but arguably never as the #1 option, and when they've had to carry teams and be that undisputed #1, their teams ended up in the lottery.
What that said, the Celtics should still win this series because of home court but I think we'll see Cleveland - Detroit, hopefully sooner than later.
Some great basketball, though, can't complain about these playoffs.
LOL@ Barkley, he said Lebron James is "Scottie Pippen" that dude has had a hardon for Lebron since he came into the league.
Perhaps a little to much envy on the part of sir charles?
Pippen was a stellar defender. Pass.
Not sure what you mean, but uh Lebron has shut down Pierce in each and every game.
I was partly joking, although Pippen is a much better defender.
But I wouldn't make that comparisont anyways, Bron Bron is closer to Magic imo given his size, athleticism, and passing ability.
