I believe that the Boston Celtics are currently the most underrated and overlooked team in the NBA playoffs right now...They've heavily improved since the first half of the season and are playing excellent basketball...I think that they have a good chance to surprise everyone and reach the Eastern Conference Finals if they continue playing as they are...I'm now rooting for the Celtics to win it all, and even though it's unlikely, I still believe they have a better chance than anyone really thinks...Not only do they have a very good roster, but they know how to play as a team and win together...Celtics will surprise...PeACe
-
they're 3rd in the east...i wont be surprised if they make the east final, i will be if they make the NBA finals.
-
They're 3rd in the East because they have the best record in the Atlantic division...People are currently picking New Jersey over Boston...
-
nobody is beating miami, imo

Unfortunately
-
They lost today, but no one was really playing that well for the Celtics...It was an off night for Boston, though I still believe they'll take the series in 6 games...PeACe
-
I'm putting Boston on the same level as Detroit, Miami, San Antonio, Phoenix and all the teams predicted to win it all...They should start Ricky Davis in place of Tony Allen...They could have an amazing starting 5, sorta' like Phoenix, if they wanted to...One thing that didn't happen for Boston this year was the development of Marcus Banks...I'm actually glad that the Lakers got Jumain Jones instead...PeACe
-
BOSTON AINT GOING NO WERE THEY LOSING IN 6 GAMES TO THE PACERS
-
^^We'll see...
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LMFAO This is just too much. the celtics the team in the east?? first off no one is beating detroit or miami however indiana would clearly be the best if they didnt deal with extreme obstacles.
with jermanine at 50%, no tinsley (15ppg,6a) and no artest (best defensive player, 24.2ppg) INDIANA is still going to beat Boston in 6. you guys are pathetic!!
-
^^Nobody said Boston's the team in the east...I'm just saying I believe they can compete with teams like Miami and Detroit...PeACe
-
Gonna hugely disagree...
I mean, they played a supurb game in Gm.1 and Pacers played pathetic, just made them look better. Obviously they have been better since getting Walker back, but there's too much youth there = ups and downs...
Starting Ricky is the LAST thing Boston should do. Off the bench he is their X-Factor and spark plug...
-
::)...the celtics will be lucky to get out of the first round and have no shot at beating detroit in the second round...nice turnaround though...still a couple pieces away
-
Boston could be dangerous if they stay hot. But they sure put up a giant turd in game 2. Personally, I hope reggie ass rapes them again tonight :)

Yea, Ricky is an excellent 6th man (should be 6th man of the year), but if they put in 5 top-notch players in their starting line-up, sorta' like Phoenix is doing, they'd have an unstoppable starting 5 to open up every game...

And the wish came true.

Damn, Reggie's been really playing the best ball within his last few years as of late...If Indiana advances over Boston I hope they take it all...PeACe
-
the celts are done now. the pacers will easily win game 4 and if it gets back to conseco for game 6 then good ol toine and the celtics will be going home. damn indiana is so banged up and incomplete. without artest and tinsley and a hurt jermaine and stephen jackson, damn we are impressive.
if they were healthy with this lineup like they should be there is really no competition.
pg j tinsley
sg s jackson
sf r artest
pf j oneal
c d davis
bench
r miller
f jones
j bender
a johnson
j foster
a croshere
how would any other team have a chance?
man i hate david stern
-
I still say this line up could be just as nice...
PG Gary Paton
SG Paul Pierce
SF Ricky Davis
PF Antoine Walker
C Raef LaFrentz
Bench:
Marcus Banks
Tony Allen
Mark Blount
Al Jefferson
Kendrick Perkins
Delonte West
Justin Reed
I dunno, Reggie just lit it up tonight and Boston needs to step its game up big for Game 4...PeACe
-
Go Reggie! ;)
-
boston is a damn good team and im impressed with them this year because they finally have a team again and i was against bring toine back but it has worked and i think they have a great lineup. but dude artest is one of the best players in the nba along with jo so imagine if they are both 100%. thats a combo like wade/shaq arenas/jamison and imagine other all star type players like jackson and tinsley being healthy.
indiana won 60 games last year and that would of happened again this year but we all know what happened. boston is a very good team but i dont think their lineup is quite as good as the pacers
-
That's your opinion...But damn, Antoine was suspended for a game for making contact with an official last game...Boston will now be missing a key part of their current success tomorrow :-\...
-
Well, how 'bout that...Celtics destroyed Indiana by 31 points to even the series 2-2...And they did it without Antoine Walker...Nice job.
-
We played like aaaaassssssssssssssssss. Had a feeling this would be a massive let down game. :(
-
whatever u say about the Celtics, isnt it obvious there is no way in the world until hell freezes over that they would ever win the title
this year............ it's impossible, so you might as well not even talk about them being underrated.....they'll soon be eliminated
Plus they have Gary Payton, we all know what a pussy he is from my Lakers last year, that sulking prick, "uhh lemme put a towel on
my head cuz i got benched and cry about it and not be a team player, I wanna be the guy who scores the points"
He'll never win a title, better get rid of him Boston
-
Well tonight my boys went out there and got the job done. tinsley was affective early and hopefully he will wake up tomorrow with not alot of soreness. The Pacers looked good we are trying to get healthier and we are headed home with 1 game to go.
even without Artest GET READY DETROIT!!!

^^Well, nobody said they'd win a title, I just said they were a lot better than most people think...Anyways, today they lost again. Even though they stayed close throughout the whole game, they couldn't quite take a lead over Indiana...Now they face a possible elimination game at Indiana...I've noticed that they placed Ricky Davis in the starting line-up like I originally suggested, but I've also noticed another thing...Mark Blount isn't being used. Up until the Antoine Walker trade, Mark Blount has started at ceneter for the Celtics for the past 2 years...He's been a big part of their offence, but lately he hasn't even been getting minutes and today he didn't even step off the bench for a second...It's funny, for someone who was scoring 20 points every other game earlier in the season to not even be playing for his team in the playoffs...Hopefully they prepare for game 6...PeACe

Its aight I am positive we will win in game 7 ;D

Game 7 ATTTT Boston...Damn, Indiana doesn't stand that great of a chance...Home teams don't usually lose Game 7s...
-
??? How many NBA games have you watched this season. No way Boston will reach the Easter finals. If they beat the pacers it's detroit next. Don't put Detroit and Boston in the same sentence.
-
and usually the road team doesnt win 3 straight games like they have in this seriers smart guy. dont trip indy is fin eim just upset caus ei wanted us to be a little more fresh for detroit but it will be fun to say goodbye to your celts in boston. ;D
-
We'll see...
-
yes we will
-
HAHA YA WOO GO BOSTON, u chokes.
-
damn boston got their ass woopppppeeed tonight....that sucks but it sets up an interesting pacer/piston series
-
The Boston Celtics have offically lost to the Indiana Pacers 97-70. I don't Boston was underrated at all.
-
yup they got spanked
-

Sucks for Boston...I guess Reggie deserves it more than Gary anyways...I think Boston woulda' been more of a challenge for Detroit though...PeACe

Your just mad at Boston because the Pats dominated the Steelers in the AFC championship
-
boston would have been the tougher matchup for detroit?? ::)

Boston is a better team, Indiana just wants it more...It's all about the desire.
-

A team with no heart is no match up for Detroit
-
GODAMN IT NOW IM BLOWED ENOUGH WITH THE CELITCS. THEY ARENT SHIT, AND THEY ARENT THE BETTER TEAM. WE SWEPT YOU LAST YEAR AND WE BEAT YOU THIS YEAR WITH INJURIES AND NO RON ARTEST HOW ARE YOU GUYS BETTER??
The celtics won the atlantic division, whoopty doo enough with the celts they arent in the same breathe as detroit, indy or miami im sorry, get realistic alright
-
That division is weak!!..who cares if they won it...
and me bein a Laker fan this is what i got to say about Boston Celtics HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! THEY LOST
-
If Payton had Reggie's desire, Boston would be in Indiana's shoes right now...
-
^^im sorry for what your going through, but that is probaly the most irrevelent thing i have ever heard. payton was nothing and that wasnt surpirising he was never gonig to be a factor in this series talk about pierce,west,walker,davis,lafrentz and other players that were a factor in this series. even if payton had a great series it wouldnt of mattered
-

So you're saying Delonte West was a factor, but their starting point guard, Gary Payton, was not? LOL, come on man, I know that you know Gary Payton meant more to the team than West...He was not only playing for Boston, but he was supposed to be a mentor to the other players and had more experience than anyone else on the team...He was supposed to take Marcus Banks under his wing and mold him into an effective point guard...Payton himself hasn't been an effective point guard, but that's just what I'm saying...He didn't have the desire to play like he used to...He's very capable, he just gave up on basketball, and you can tell by the way he plays...All I'm saying is that if you take Payton from 2005 and replace him with Payton from 2000, the Celtics would be in Indiana's shoes right now, maybe even leading Detroit...
-
Another thing that hurt Boston is their failure to incorporate Mark Blount into the rotation...Blount is too good to miss the whole playoffs like he did this year...Oh well, I just hope he gets the playing time he deserves next season...PeACe

i love this guy

Boston was in a shithole back in these days, and I liked their squad...I wanted to see them back on top, along with the Lakers, so we could have a renewed rivalry. It's not a big surprise, I said it in this thread as well:
in recent years, it was hard to hate on the Celtics, with them being a struggling young team, and the Laker franchise being lightyears ahead ever since Bird left. In fact, I actually LIKED the Paul Pierce led Celtics for some time, and felt for them/wanted to see them succeed. I didn't see any more Boston Celtic in the Boston Celtics. But I was blind... Now, I can't wait to see them lose again.
