Yeah but even though the Cavs have great depth the Magic are even more stacked. Nelson, Carter, Lewis, and Howard in a starting lineup is a lot to deal with.

I don't think Vince Carter has the guts to co-lead a team to a championship. They are also making the mistake of rarely using Howard offensively. Of course, as long as them shooter niggas keep hitting shots, it's better and looks cooler and more skillful. But you can't rely on them niggas shooting. There will be games when they gon' suck at shooting and then they won't know how to get the ball to Howard correctly and therefore lose games.

Howard lack of offensive skills is still pathetic when you throw a good frontline at him , I know it's not easy to develop offensive moves when you don't have them naturally  but still I havent seen any improvments from him

rondo is gonna fuck fisher UP

LOL... Fisher is a point guard with 4 titles and tons of clutch shooting. Rondo has the edge, but until you beat the man (in 2008 Rondo/Fisher was a push, not Rondo winning the match) you can't assume your going to fuck him up. There are other match ups that are important. Kobe vs. Allen, Pierce vs. Artest, Gasol vs. Garnett, Bynum vs. Perkins. It's about match ups, and unlike last time, the Lakers have some good ones. Last time we had Rad on Pierce, and what ended up happening was we ended up putting Kobe on Pierce, and then Sasha gained a ton more minutes, on top of that no Bynum allowed for Gasol to get eaten by Perkins and then Odom was faced up against KG in his prime. Once you broke down the match ups, the Celtics were at a huge advantage. The match ups this time are more even, and it will be a great series. I see a 7 game series with it coming to the Staples Center.

Dude, Pierce will not be covered by Kobe, Pierce will not be covered by Radmanovic, Pierce will be covered by Ron Artest. Last time, it was Sashaand Radmanovic helping Kobe cover Pierce and Allen. Basically whoever Kobe didn't cover was going to go for a ton of point. Now we have Artest exactly for this reason, to help Kobe cover on the wing when you have a team with a legit 2 and 3. Ariza was not there in 2008 to help Kobe cover Pierce and Allen, but this time Kobe has that help.

As I said, Carter is just not tough enough. With the game on the line, the nigga gon' slip. He won many games with crazy good fade away 3pt and what not, but that were meaningless regular season games and shit. The nigga isn't built for this shit.

Also look how they fucked up the time-out and the following last possession. This team ain't built to beat a team as good as them.

I'm suprised if Boston doesn't sweep them.

If the Celtics pull out a championship THIS year, I think it will be more impressive than 2 years ago. Mainly because of their seeding and their regular season. Because of their seed....they will have gone through the Cavs, the Magic...and if they win the title, more than likely the Lakers. Thats the #1, #2, and #3 teams in the league this year.

The nigga ain't tough enough. After Howard or someone else knocks him on the ass, he ain't going to the rim no more. Everything is gravy as long as he can dunk on soft niggas of course. Once the games get serious, this nigga becomes worthless

i think the celtics have the personnel to play even better defense than they did 2 years ago

the big 3 are 99% as good as they were back in '08 and Rondo and Perkins are far improved.  plus Rasheed fills in a void that big man that Leon Powe left.

It will be a good series no matter what. Me being a Spurs fan...other then seeing my team in the finals, I think this is the best matchup top to bottom. The Suns have some glaring weaknesses. We were lucky enough to run into them when they were fuckin on fire from three. They couldnt missed it seemed like. But the Celtics would exploit their weaknesses the way the Lakers are.  And the Magic were on a roll...but this series has made them look somewhat soft. I would expect this Lakers vs Celtics finals to be one of the better finals all time. Id be surprised if it doesnt go 7.

Post by: wcsoldier on May 23, 2010, 09:21:24 PM
Here are the main differences I see between now and 2 years ago

Boston

- Rondo is a much better player , his all around effort is just incredible during these playoffs

- Perkins has probably become the best 1 on 1 post up defender in the league..

- The BIG 3 is clearly not as good as it was.

- their bench is weaker , yes Big Baby is a serviceable player , T. Allen brought some D intensity but Sheed is very up and down and they lack the D and veteran play of a Posey and PJ Brown , as well as House shooting


Lakers

- Pierce won't be defended by Radmanovic or Walton but by Artest , that's quite a difference lol


- Bynum  obviously ... he will have to stay on the floor because Pau vs KG and Drew vs Pekins are much more favorable matchups than LO vs KG and Perk vs Gasol imo


- Kobe has  developed a great post up game and both Allen won't be able to defend it one on one.. no more Posey and if they put Pierce on Kobe to take it away , Ron will abuse Ray in the post ..







Title: Re: Celtics vs Magic
Post by: wcsoldier on May 23, 2010, 09:34:16 PM
and there are 2 keys players of this potential Finals imo ;on one side if Rondo maintains this incredible level of play , C's will be hard to beat  , on the other side will Gasol be at his usual level ( which is higher than 2 years ago)  or play like a pussy as he did in the 2008 Finals ...

The revenge factor has to be taken into consideration aswell , Game 6 debacle , Gasol and LO being physically destroyed , the whole team being labeled as soft ... we are more experienced , tougher than 2 years ago and it's time to prove it and redeem ourselves

- Perkins has probably become the best 1 on 1 post up defender in the league..

- The BIG 3 is clearly not as good as it was.

- their bench is weaker , yes Big Baby is a serviceable player , T. Allen brought some D intensity but Sheed is very up and down and they lack the D and veteran play of a Posey and PJ Brown , as well as House shooting


Lakers

- Pierce won't be defended by Radmanovic or Walton but by Artest , that's quite a difference lol


- Bynum  obviously ... he will have to stay on the floor because Pau vs KG and Drew vs Pekins are much more favorable matchups than LO vs KG and Perk vs Gasol imo


- Kobe has  developed a great post up game and both Allen won't be able to defend it one on one



1-the Big 3 are all healthy...KG is beasting

2-It's been 2 years but I'm pretty damn sure I recall PP guarding Kobe in the finals and Pierce was the best player of the finals.

3-Bynum is irrelevant unless he's one on one vs Big Baby lol

Pierce did a pretty good job on Kobe but it wasn't 1 on 1 D , Celtics zoned him up and forced others Lakers to score .. what they oviously did not ... plus there was Posey on Kobe a lot aswell

you cannot put Pierce on Kobe now , if you do it , Artest will bully Ray in the post

They're in Boston tonight; if the Celtics can;t end it, they'll be in trouble.
