Obviously we all want the Celtics to win, but watching these games, you cannot help but wonder if either of these teams can win more than one game against Cleveland. Absolutely horrible basketball for most of this series.

Rondo> Mo
Ray> Delonte
Baby= Whoever Cleveland plays PF
Perk> Z  :o

And Pierce is no slouch either. Boston has a "chance."  Not to mention I got a smile from this girl today which told me KG will be back in GM 4 against Cleveland :P

I agree, I think both teams have underperformed for large chunks of this series. A lot of poor basketball ... and a lot of missed opportunities from both sides.

Yes both teams are underperforming however they are playing each other both .700+ teams, 2 of the top 4 teams in the league, excluding the Nuggets. Cavs opponents winning % in the playoffs is .520.   Every other team in the NBA playoffs has at least a .600+ or better oppoenents winning percentage, except for Miami who only played the Hawks.
