Official Celtics @ Cavs thread

[selby56]

it's funny how everyone here thinks the Celtics won't go far because of 1 sloppy game ;) just saying.
because, last time i checked, the Bulls, or whoever the may play first, don't have Lebron, who the C's might've had a chance today without him

just saying it's kinda hilarious that people underestimate so much from a team because of a Bad Sunday.
there are such things as better teams than you, but c'mon, seriously guys?

I see where your coming from, when the Cavs lost to the Magic a week or two ago, everyone was counting them out. But honestly...the Celtics going to the ECF isn't as sure as some might think. I could easily see Detroit, Miami, and Orlando knocking them out if they played any of them before the ECF. I personally think it will be Cleveland and Boston in the ECF, but it isn't nearly a sure thing.

i didnt make my decision from 1 game, from the whole season not just today.

So what part of 60 wins and KG being out for 24 games makes them not capable of reaching the ECF? Cavs haven't been without their best player all year, yet the Celtics are only 5 games behind the Cavs with KG being out for 24 games.

Detroit? No way. Miami? Best bet of the 3, but still, not a chance - Wade can only go so far. Orlando? Rashard and Hedo are both out, for who knows how long...honestly, they'll be lucky to get past the first round.

KG isn't Bostons best player though. Remember Paul Pierce declared himself the best player in the league last year?

Mikki Moore/Glen Davis are not nearly replacements for Garnett/Powe, both of whom will likely be fresh for the playoffs. With both of them ready things will be different, I don't think the Cavs will be goofing around as much from the bench. The Cavs fans seem quick to forget about the Orlando game and the Washington game. They beat an injured a Boston team whose seeding is locked up. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, remember who the defending Champions are.

just saying they've stepped their game up a bit, just in time, too.

Haha no one would, if anything this will help the Celtics down the stretch. Davis and Moore have gotten solid minutes and are more than ready for some vital playoff minutes.

And the last game in Boston, the Celtics beat an injured Cavs team that was without Delonte and Ben Wallace...but you guys sure did brag about how big of a win it was.

Are you questioning Paul Pierce? The man is "The Truth" and he said it himself last year...he is the best in the league! There is no arguing with a guy who has a nickname like "The Truth."
