Calling it from now: the Boston Celtics will contend for east title vs Miami.

Yes, they have been playin better, but to say they contend for East is just plain crazy!!

Capnick · 03-08-13, 01:23 PM

I am a diehard knicks fan and i can tell you unless miami suffers a key injury, no one beats them in the east... Believe me, it kills me to say this, but its true...

good chance of early round loss to Miami

Capnick · 03-08-13, 01:33 PM

Yep!! Age a factor also...

Vinnie Paz · 03-08-13, 01:38 PM

I didn't say they'd win east, I meant finals

I realize now they could play Miami in 2nd rd so I guess that kills that argument

basically, 2nd best team in east is Boston is what im getting at

Vinnie Paz · 03-08-13, 01:39 PM

Im done with the age factor shit
these fukks are warriors and can hang w any east team

I'm a die-hard Celtics fan and yes, they've been playing better than anyone ever expected since Rondo injury. But they won't have home court advantage and I don't see them getting past Miami.

Celtics are a playoff-caliber team - always have been - and they will take teams to seven games every series since they are true fighters. I would love to see them get a better seeding so they don't have to get worn out playing either Pacers or Heat in the first round.

I am very intrigued by the "new" squad though... they've been playing more up-tempo and Bradley and Green are getting more touches and getting better with every game. Looking forward to a beat-down revenge game tonight against those Hawks. I can't stand that Horford for some reason.

definately, bro. since avery's been back, they've been a different team. it's too bad they have the same weakness as the heat(bigs), or i'd even say they could maybe pull off the upset.

The sullinger injury really hurt as well.
