Was the 1st round a fluke accident for The Celts? Will they stop Lebron or will James torch em'?
-
I have a feeling Cleveland wins this.

The Celtics in 6

cmon guys. Cavs are a much better team than the Hawks and look what they almost pulled against the Celts.
I see the Celts being dragged to another Game 7.
-
imma be HEAVILY rooting for lebron on this one, but... celtics arent gonna breakdown much more than they did against the hawks. i think celtics got this.

cleveland sweeps

I bet David Stern hates this match up. He needs the Celts to go to the finals against LA, but he needs LeBron in the finals as well.

he doesn't "need" either. He loves this.
Boston-Detroit or Cleveland-Detroit are both very marketable

Wow....the East is gonna have TWO great series coming up
1st this one...Lebron vs the BIG 3....then whoever wins vs the Pistons...GONNA BE FUCKIN WICKED!
-
this will be a good matchup.. they played 4 times in the regular season and got 2 wins each.. looking at the scores they were also fairly close games each time. looking forward to this
-
only reason i would want boston to win it all cause garrnet allen and peirce deserve championship

Why are you arguing East finals matchups? I'm talking about the NBA Finals.
You're smoking massive crack rocks if you don't think Stern wouldn't kill to have LA vs BOSTON. It's all about the money and that will EASILY be the most watched series out of all possible matchups.

LA - Boston might bring in some decent ratings
but I think Utah-Detroit is what Stern reallllly wants.
-
The teams that make it this year deserve it
but as far as ratings go..
No doubt the Pure NBA fan want's that L.A. vs. Boston
The New fan want's to see LeBron take it to Kobe
Even the NBA's new darling CPIII & N.O. would be a great story for Stern..
What Stern/ABC don't want is a rematch of last season's sport's equivalent of the "Caveman show".
Spurs vs. Pistons. (Again from a ratings standpoint, not gamewise)
As far a style & gameplay, Detroit vs. anyone but the Lakers & N.O. will be a network ratings desaster.
(Not saying the games won't be good, but I'm talking ratings)

Am i the only one who wanna see a Detroit-Lakers re-match?
-
^I wouldn't mind...but I'd prefer facing the Celtics to shut those bandwaggon ass Boston fans the fuck up.
-
Anyone BUT Detroit and Spurs would be fine with me. If I see another Spurs/Pistons finals I will puke, or a Spurs final appearance might make me have a barfy burp.
Oh yeah, Boston in 6.
-
shit u can call me a fair weather fan.theres no way i was watching the celts last year they were horrible and there was no point to watch them
-
^Al Jefferson? Paul Pierce? Gerald Green? Rajon Rondo? Delonte West?...It's not like ya'll didn't have something to look forward to. I personally woulda' supported the Celtics through thick and thin if I were a true fan, though I know it'd be far more of a challenge. Us Laker fans are a lot more spoiled than that...

lol that lineup is bringing back bad memories

i heard Paul getting compared to ISIAH THOMAS on espn radio today.
think thats a bit crazy since paul doesn't have a ring yet but pauls a monster right now.
-
C's where lucky that lebron had an off night
-
in a way i would like to see the celtics lose this year so the bandwagon fans can disappear and find a new team
hopefully they pick their game up though. lebron wont be playing that shit for the rest of the series so the celtics will have a fight on their hands
-
Cav's where lucky that ray allen had an off night

lol@ LA vs. Boston maybe bringing in decent ratings. I don't think you quite understand the demographics behind this. The 2 greatest franchises in NBA history resurrecting their rivalry. LA is a phenomenal market, Boston is THE bandwagon team this year. You got Kobe back in the finals after a few year hiatus, you got Garnett finally playing with the chance to get a ring. Because of the tradition of these teams, you are going to pull in a lot of the older crowd who remember these teams from the 60's and 80's who have very little interest in the young generation of stars. A lot of casual fans would tune into this that wouldn't otherwise. All of us are prolly gonna watch the finals regardless of who is in it. The real money is made by bringin in viewers who wouldn't typically watch this type of thing.
LA vs Boston is easily THE most lucrative finals possible. And that's what it's all about if you're David Stern.
-
A win is a win, congrats on that steal Boston.
I doubt LeBron will give you another one this easy.
this is going 6-7 games easy.
-
Both teams better step it up
-
the most overrated series
-
C's where lucky that lebron had an off night
lucky? this ain't luck
-
nice win by the celtics
looks like lebron had another off night ::)
-
don't start jumping up and down yet, leprechaun fans.... the series is heading to Cleveland. Atlanta part 2?

why are we still talking about last series? this is a totally new round son.
atlanta is much more athletic than Cleveland.
-
LOL one of my friends was convinced (enough to bet me) that Lebron would get more than 30 pts today...easy money for me 8)

I would have took that bet against you as well bro.
and promptly would have paid you tommorow...lol
never would I imagine 2 straight garbage games by James.
(What R your odds for 3 straight?...LOL)
-
LOL @ Lebron
Worst shooting performance by anybody in 2 games of a series with 30+ shots, since 1948.

so what, it's still a legit concern. you don't think that their terrible road play can't catch up with them again sonny?

LOL @ Lebron shooting 19%

i cant wait man i get outta work at 7:30, gonna pick up some food and game at 8

^ I know that the game isn't over yet, but I am sensing in the Force that there are many Celt fans crying over that first half.

lol yeah, i had a feeling the cavs would win game 3. hopefully we can rebound game 4 and finish them up back in boston in game 5. this game is ugly.
-
^Did you have a feeling yall would get blown out? The two wins in Boston were relatively close. this is something else, and LeBron is sucking ass. I'd be worried right about now if i were a Celtic fan.

i had a feeling we'd lose. but i was expecting a 100-95 type of game
the cavs are making all their shots, its sickening. shades of Atlanta but the Cavs just don't scare me like the team i watched last year.
Doc should've let himself get ejected, we'd be better off. i hate him haha.
-
Everybody sing!
On the road again...
The Celts can't play on the road again.
They just can't ever seem to notch a win...
The Celts can't play on the road again...
On the road again....
Where the refs don't want to be their friends...
And that god damn Ball can't ever seem to go in...
The Celts can't play on the road again...
-
Shit, I would crack another joke about tonight's Celts loss, but I've got my own team to worry about.
I feel your pain Hack!
-
I have honestly thought the Celtics were better than this. Going to Game 7 in 2 consecutive serieses against 2 clearly inferior teams is inexcuseable.

lebron = reggie miller (int terms of floppig)

Money.

Another example regular season and playoffs are VERY different ... I'm not surprised when I see at what poor level the Cs play on the road during these playoffs .. one of their pb is nobody clearly wants to takeover in the 4th .. if Game 7 is decided in the last minutes , Cavs will win
-
what's comforting to know is that the cavs really have no offense (aside from james) and are able to take the celts to the distance. if the celts make the finals the Lakers (or spurs or hornets) are going to be in triple digits looking down on the parquet posse.
