    I think the Celtics will beat the Cavs
    The Celtics know this is the last chance they'll ever have to win a title. They're going to come strong. I like their roster better than the Cavs roster. Who else is on the Celtics??

        All I needed to say. The Cavs role players will disappear when it matters most. They've been the "best" team in the East the last 2 years but still have failed.

            You know who was guarding Rashard Lewis last year? Wally Sczerbiak

            And who was guarding Howard? Zydrunas and Andy

            Major upgrades on this years roster... Jamison is going to abuse Garnett

            the Celtics have 1 distinct advantage and that is at PG... but Rondo is not going to beat the cavs 4 out of 7

              this is the last yr celtics could ever win a championship? i dn...i could see them winning it in 2020 or something.

              i think the series goes 7 games, theres value in taking c's +400 for the series but in the end i think cavs take it.

                Really? Wally didn't even play in 2 of the games in the series and he didn't start any of the games. In the games he did play he averaged about 14 minutes. Shaq is overweight and can only play in small spurts. I'd say Zydrunas' game is pretty similar to Shaq's. Both are slow.

                        If James is 100% Boston has no shot, if he is playing hurt Boston can win in 6.

                            Jamison is better than a role player.

                              True but he won't "abuse" anyone.

                                Jamison is playing 35 minutes and averaging 19.5 and 8 in the playoffs... thats not a role player.. Garnett has no chance to guard him out on the perimeter

                                Shaq is slow... sure. But he is still a monster.... and if you watch CLE/ORL last year...the biggest problem was Dwight was able to man handle Z and Andy down low to get any position he wanted.

                                If you have watched Dwight vs. Shaq this year... they have played to a draw in just about every game. Not to mention Shaq always seems to get him in foul trouble early.... which is something Z and Andy can't do.

                                  Jamison averaged 12.8 points against the Celtics this year on 35.8% fg shooting.

                                      "this is their last chance at a title"

                                      dumbest reasoning ive ever seen.

                                            The "Celtics are to old" is a meaningless reasoning. It was the same shit about Spurs and look what they are doing to Mavs right now.
                                            I don't think Celtics can stop Cavs but I can see them make it to 6-7 games anyway.

                                                  Cavs in 6. C's are good enough for 2 wins against the Cavs. This is what I expect:

                                                  Cavs drop Game 1 and the books smile to the bank.
                                                  Cavs win Games 2 and 3.
                                                  C's win Game 4 and all of a sudden some ambitious gamblers start betting on the C's to win the series.
                                                  Cav's win Game 5 in a blowout and finish off in Game 6.

                                                      celtics have no bench players and their starters can't play every minute of every game

                                                      they know how to win though so if they can keep it close they might steal a game or two

                                                        Should be a good series with plenty of drama... But Cavs roll in 6 games!

                                                          would love to see this series go seven like a couple of years back. Don't think its gonna happen, cavs in 6 at most.

                                                              Cavs in 5. Could even see Celtics taking game 1....then Cavs rolling off 4 in a row. Their season ends this series.

                                                                If you really look close at the Bulls/Cavs series it really came down to 3 pt shooting. The Bulls couldn't defend the 3 pt shot. The Cavs had at least 10 threes in every game. The Bulls couldnt hit threes and weren't a threat from beyond the arc. This is where it could be different with Boston or later Orlando. Other than the game 4 blowout the Bulls were easily getting in the paint, mainly with Rose. With Pierce and Rondo I see the Celtics getting penetration as well as Bulls did.

                                                                So I say keep a close watch on the Cavs ability to hit threes in the same volume as they did with Chicago. The Celtics are a more experienced defensive team who will get much more respect from the officials. Fair or not the Bulls got ZERO respect from the refs. Sure Lebron is the best but if the Cavs are not hitting the threes the King can't win it by himself. Will Williams, Moon and Jamison hit those threes like they did against Chicago and if they don't will the Cavs panic and just wait for Lebron to save them.

                                                                I can't stand Boston but it should be interesting to watch.
