Eastern Conference Finals: Detroit Pistons vs. Boston Celtics.

^You missed the point...The Cavs have advantages where the Celtics have disadvantages. It shoulda been enough to take the Celtics out, considering the way they've been playing. If it were a great player in LeBron's shoes, the Cavs woulda won in no more than 6 games...PeACe

Let's see how many games it takes for Kobe and his by far superior supporting cast... if it gets to that.

Put it this way...if the Celtics played against the Lakers the same way they played against the Cavs and Hawks, they would have been swept.

I must say it would be sweet if it was another Lakers vs Pistons matchup and the Lakers fucked them up

The only real player left from 2004 is Kobe... I don't see a justification for all that "revenge for 2004" hype

^how bout the fact that it's the Lakers. LOL. doesn't matter if the players aren't the same...as long as the team is.

maybe not to everyone else but to Lakers fans it will be interesting

a lot of Pistons players are the same from that team

every Laker fan would like to prove they were a one hit wonder

^His decision making in that game wasn't any worse than LeBron's.

I beg to differ.

^^dude that was last year and the Cavs aren't as good this year as they were last year the trade they made was horrible, Wally and Ben are horrid.  Have you watched Detroit and Boston play so far in these playoffs?  Det has looked amazing as usual while the Celts have been AVERAGE at best. I wouldn't be surprised if Detroit sweeps but Ill say the Celtics get lucky and win one game.

the Cavs beat Detroit 4 games in a row.  that's impressive.

I was watching this game with my pops in his hospital room tonight.... I was impressed with Garnett's inside D. Congrats on the win...

dude, what about Kevin Garnett? dude is damm near unstoppable.

they need to find a way to shut him down.

^KG is not an offensively explosive type of player. More of the passive type, though he IS capable of doing some major damage on offense.

[Johnny B]

^yea, and the Celtics are undefeated in the playoffs when Pierce scores 20 or more.

so if the Pistons wanna win, they gotta shut down Pierce, let alone KG.

[Johnny B]

what a game. the Pistons were playing desperate as hell.

Poor Hack Wilson, lol. Dude i'm telling it to you since a couple of months: in the last 11-12 years the team with the best record in the NBA was never been able to win the ring. You celebrated it too early. But don't worry, next year you can always support the Lakers: they'll probably be the most loaded and skilled team in the League.

lol they losta home game, there goes the 4-3 4-3 4-3 4-3 with home wins theory
