    Cleveland is a better team than Orlando, Boston just took of the "King" now it's time to get revenge on "Superman"!! Boston in 6!
  • bigdaddy2003
    I wouldn't go as far as to say Cleveland is better than Orlando.
  • Speedofsand
    I guess Magic in 7. Van Gundy will completely lose his voice in 4 though

    Magic in 6

    I said Orlando in 6.

    Jameer Nelson is going to have a helluva time with Rondo though.. Rondo can guard Nelson, Nelson can't guard Rondo.

    I think the biggest mis-match in KG trying to guard Rashard Lewis. It might be sad to see KG try to cover Lewis off of screens and all the way out to the 3 point line.

    Nelson < Rondo
    Carter < Pierce
    Barnes = Allen
    Lewis > Garnett
    Howard > Perkins

    Yep. Allen is a better offensive player, Barnes a better defender. They should just about cancel each other out in this series.

    Allen offense is better then Barnes defense and Allen isnt a bad defender himself

    We'll see. Wouldn't be surprised to see Barnes knock the shit out of Allen.

    Does anyone really care?
    I hate both of these teams. I know I am just a pissed off Cavs fan. I will admit it.
    I probably won't even watch. I'm done with BB for now.

    The winner of this series will do it in 7 games imo.

    I don't even think that's the correct match up. Allen is a 2 and Barnes is a 3. I expect Barnes to be on Pierce, while Vince will guard Allen.

    Barnes is having serious back spasms , missed practice Sat.

    Doesn't mater who wins because CLEVELAND IS NOT PLAYING.

    Sorry guys, I was trying to keep NCF busy on another thread so you guys could have an intelligent conversation, but he got away from me.

    Boston is controlling game 1 so far.

    Up by as many as 15 in the first half, they take a 9 point lead into half.

    Definitely could be up by 15-20 though, but they got sloppy towards the end.
  • osu45804
    Boston contained Howard & Nelson in the 1st half which is key to this series.... Missing FT's and letting Orlando getting transition points late in the 2nd Quarter hurt us... Rondo has yet to get going 2 points but has 6 Assists. I am starting to get VERY frustrated with Perkins! He catches the ball and stops, hesitates and thinks about what he is going to do.. JUST PLAY! Tony Allen is continuing his hot play from the Cleveland series... The C's just need to keep this game at their pace and stop playing sloppy and we can steal game 1 on the road.

    This thread is dead! I guess Cavs fans aren't tuning in after all lol.
  • mallymal614
    Celtics playing like a team on a mission. Up 19. Are they playing that good or is Orlando being exposed?
