Celtics Will Win The NBA Championship This Year

[kobefanatic]

If they stay healthy they will

Lakers just about beat them last year and Boston was banged up

the lakers were banged up too

[kobefanatic]

damn true..Lakers beat OKC & PHX w' game winner shots..i dont think we'll see LAL in the finals this year

who can beat the lakers in the west?

[Celtics1905]

the lakers are banged up too

if you think so then you should wait and see this season

hope the celtics can make it out of the east for us to see kobe vs shaq one last time

[Ricki Roma]

Lol nope kobe will get a healthy dose of wade and james

i heard that shaq has sth left to tell Kobe

[kobefanatic]

Lol nope kobe will get a healthy dose of wade and james

heat is a great team but do they have the inside presence to match the deep frontline that boston has? even they're old they're still good, KG (70% to 80%) is good enough to match up against bosh, shaq, JO, big baby this trio is better than the other big guys that miami has( joel anthony, ilgauskas, juwan howard, haslem, magloire)
pierce can guard lebron or at least hold his own a little bit, but it severely kills his offense
ray allen can guard d wade but also kills his offense
rondo>>>>>>>>>arroyo, chalmers

[kobefanatic]

i heard that shaq has sth left to tell Kobe

can he show it on court? i bet not

[Bradyd]

Assuming Kobe gets healthy and stays that way, the Lakers should make it to the finals again. However, winning is a different story. This Laker team is probably the only back2back team in the last 2 decades that didn't dominate their way to/in the finals. So they are very beatable, and Boston def. can do it as they have before. As for Miami, they can either dominate the Lakers or get dominated. But I don't see them getting by Boston if the Lakers can dominate them..

[kobefanatic]

lakers got better in defense this year with the addition of barnes, barnes can come in and spell kobe against the other superstars

[Celtics1905]

Lakers got old my friend...check your team's age..Celtics has better depth than la

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

I really hope so...gonna be a tough road- long season, lots of age on this roster

ODDS TO WIN THE 2010-11 NBA CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE
[1506] BOSTON CELTICS +1215

100 / 1215

[TheThreeKings]

The East has more top teams than the West this year for the first time since the 90s. As I said before, not having Perkins is a huge loss for the Celtics. Also, whoever said KG can guard Bosh is crazy.

[Snowball]

Game 7 NBA Finals

4th Quarter:
Free Throws for LA: 21
Free Throws for Boston: 6
LA wins by 4.

[Celtics1905]

Mr. Stern pushed that button before 4Q

wow when did bosh become unstoppable? KG may not be his former self but he ain't a pushover on defense and definitely can hold his own against bosh

[Snowball]

I am taking the Celtics in season opener wide and large.

[Fed_42420]

Miami came together to win a championship and I think they will accomplish that this year. I don't see Boston stopping them in a 7 game series whether both teams are healthy or not.

[TheThreeKings]

How about most of last year? He averaged 25.3 ppg, 11.7 rpg, and 64% FG% against Garnett last year.

garnett didn't even play 2 of those 3 game, he faced rasheed wallace look up the stats

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore;_ylt=AoWkpf1eaXLugaktSiQvERPMPKB4?gid=2009112702

garnett played in this game

this is the january 2 game that KG didn't play, he faced rasheed only

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore;_ylt=AlVjYIZA2su0t_Va7Kc44XfMPKB4?gid=2010010202

2nd game with no KG

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore;_ylt=ApC4pNQ3CPmxscc5AxAMr1zMPKB4?gid=2010011028

he got a double double in the 1st game against KG, that his average against KG 20 points 13 rebounds

[DeluxeLiner]

Miami was mentioned this thread and i got to say...Miami is going to be money ATS all year. I am really excited.

[DeluxeLiner]

And when I say that...i meaning fading Miami ATS. And not sure about Boston (since that is the topic of this thread), Rivers doesn't give two shits about the regular season so that makes me nervous.

[rem sleep]

the 1 teams that is going under the radar this year is Dallas Mavericks. They have improved this offseason with DoJo and Tyson Chandler and now Caron Butler and Brendon Haywood have some time in Dallas's system they are looking VERY good

[Defuzas]

Yes, as someone mentioned Boston Celtics this season much depends on KG, also Robinson should contribute more.

Some of what you said is true. Boston has the bigs advantage no doubt there. Pierce can no longer stay with james. He could in 08 but not anymore. Boston has absolutley no answer for wade proven last yr. Bosh vs kg will be interesting but naturally bosh has the advantage. And yes rondo is going to eat up up mario. Still it wont be enough.

pierce can stay with james on defense but it seriously kills his offense

[Celtics1905]

hey kobe? how does your knee feel this year ??

[hawley]

celtics roll in the opener. KG looks healthier than last year and their starters have played some amazing minutes in preseason

[ptall]

no way the team to beat in the east or the entire league for that matter is DA BULLS

[Cap dat 4ss]

The Knicks are the play at 60:1. Melo is in his last year and will likely be traded before the deadline. Chris Paul is following. Add those two with Stoudemire and 60:1 looks pretty damn good

chris paul is going no where this year

the hornets traded away collison, they cant afford to trade paul now, nor do they have any intention to do so

[MoYaL]

That's possible as long as they stay healty .. even if they have really good bench and deep one .. nobody can replace Rondo , Rayray, the truth or the big ticket.

Forgot about Collison. Regardless, theres still value there. There is a chance the Knicks pick up Melo this year. Even without Paul, they've got Felton to run point. Likely, no. Would it be nice if you put 50 on it and hit? ya
