I have been telling others this, but no one seems to take note. The media is either ignorant about this fact or they just choose to ignore it.

The truth is THE CELTICS STARTERS ARE YOUNGER THAN THE CAVS STARTERS!

Contrary to popular belief, the Cavs did not have a youth advantage. The three oldest Cavs starters are Jamison (33), Parker (34) and O'Neal (38). Pierce is 32, Garnett is 33 and Allen is 34. Some have told me "that may be true, but their best player is 25", but guess what, Rondo--arguably our best player, is 24!

So, why would Jamison be the "missing piece of the puzzle" at age 33, but Pierce at 32 is too old? Why would Charles Barkley and Chris Webber state before game 1 that Garnett is too old to handle Jamison when they are actually both the same age?

Imagine the "old legs" talk if Mo Williams had constantly blown past Ray Allen, but did one media member mention that it was Parker at age 34 who could not keep up with Rondo? I sure didn't hear it.

Next up is Orlando. I am sure we'll hear that Vince Carter is their missing piece but that Pierce is too old, when (correct me if I'm wrong), they are also the same age.

Let all the EXPERTS talk---they'll be scratching their heads when Rondo walks off with the Finals MVP.
