Celtic will dominate this year again. Their lines are going to be jacked this year. I expect them to go 50% ATS

The celtics are such a deep team. The comparison between the old big 3, and the current 3 will play a big factor in their pursuit to do a classic Boston repeat.

They lost their first home loss to the Pistons. They also had issues with Cleveland and Orlando. Not to mention almost being eliminated by Atlanta, going to 7 with Cleveland, 6 with Detroit and LA.
Detroit
Cleveland
Orlando
They will have to battle all 3 of those teams next season.

Doesnt matter, in the end, they came through under the pressure. It was only their first year together (and first year being serious title contenders for most of them). I think they definitely have the fresh experience, and even more team chemistry (if thats possible) going into this season.

They will not win again this season. Teams have figured their gig out. Cleveland will win it all next season.
Cleveland vs. Phoenix finals.

For the record, I did not read your post prior to making mine. Nice work, Ace.

Another 5 star bomb around here for the 08-09 season.

Their gig is nothing but flat out dominace from all areas of the court. Constant ball movement, power inside, quick long range flicks, guys that arent afraid to take it in, relentless defense, excellent team chemistry, great free throw shooters, A DEEP BENCH, and im tired of typing all their highlights.
Cavs are mainly a 1 man team down the stretch for overall excellence. And that man needs to make his free throws this year.
Suns - well I cant fvcking see the sun with that giant, out of shape fat shit shaq on the court. Another team that will be back to their old lineup once hack-a-shaq is done in close situations. They got ran over by the spurs last year, and wont be surprised if they do again this year.

The NBA is too much like professional wrestling for this to happen now, too much money at stake. The Celtics got their push, it's time for another team now. I think betting on NBA playoffs is putting yourself at the mercy of agenda driven officials.

The team to beat this year will be the Hornets. They grabbed Posey from the Celtics and he will give them a spark against the Lakers. He was the Laker killer for Boston last year. Out of the East, it should come down to Boston and Cleveland. My dark horse would be the Raptors. They went 41-41 last year. They have added Jermaine O'Neal and if he is even close to being healthy...look out. They will be a 50+ win ball club this year.
