    I'd like Detroit to win this, but I have no clue what is going to happen. All I do know is that if Boston couldn't win in Atlanta or Cleveland, there's no way in hell they're winning in Detroit...unless someone gets injured *knock on wood*. Either Detroit wins this in 5/6, or Boston wins in 7. At this point, I'd go with Detroit (still amazed they beat Orlando without Chauncey. Props).

    DET in 6. Perkins and KG are going to get muscled out just like Howard did, and unless Ray Ray magically starts shooting lights out, they just wont be able to score enough, even if Rondo plays really well.

    They won in Detroit during the season. It's not like Detroit owns the Celtics. Also it was these Cavaliers that beat the Pistons, and we just finished them off last night so I don't think it'll that hard beating Detroit.


    Anything can happen but I like our chances, and you gotta love the home court advantage. [​IMG]

    I'll take your 4, and raise it to a 5.

    Jarvis Hayes is cool.

    Boston's run comes to an end here.

    Detroit in 6.

    Rasheed Wallace is a great defensive player and will make KG work harder, Billups (if he can play) will make Rondo his bitch, Prince will give Pierce fits and Rip will keep Allen chasing him all game making him useless on the offensive side (even though it seems like you don't have to try hard to make that happen lately)

    I'm gonna say Celtics in 7, but they'll win one on the road and lose one home game

    The Celtics won in Atlanta during the season, and were 3-0 against them, which I would say was an owning. Just saying.

    I have a hard time picking this series. Until Boston shows they can win on the road in the playoffs, I have a hard time picking them...but with home court and the group of players they have, it's hard to pick against them.

    Good argument Todd but it won't be easy for Detroit like some people like to think and are suggesting here.



    We're winning tonight.

    Celtics 101 - 93 Pistons

    KG 22pts 15rbs 3blks

    Pretty cool so far. Pistons started out crap, but are getting a lil better by each possession.

    Celtics started out good, but are cooling off.

    McDyess is doing pretty good.

    Nobody's watching this game? It's terrific.

    Pierce is playing a lot of PG for Boston, which has taken the Detroit guards' defense mostly out of the game. He's hit some amazing shots, double and triple teamed.

    PJ Brown trying to guard Sheed is funny to watch. Detroit saw this and went to him 6 straight plays, the last three were FTs, and two outside buckets.

    This game got pretty boring. I lost interest and stopped watching after halfway through the 1st quarter.

    Lakers should be interesting to watch, though.
