Celtics First Round Opponent is.....the Miami Heat

[PosImpos]

Miami in 6, I'm sorry but that's reality

Too early to say.  We'll know after Game 1, though.

Great!

Let the Series begin!

Dwayne Wade is certainly All-World, but he cannot do it by himself. Michael Beasley is a dangerous player, but he won't hurt us all series, thanks to KG.

Perk has done a good job on O'Neal so far.

Miami will get their jabs in this series, but Boston will be standing in the end.

[Onslaught]

Boston in 5 or 6. I'm not really worried about this one for some reason. Now after that will be another story.

Looking forward to a good series and may the best team (of players not refs) win.

You mean that's likely. How can it be reality before it happens? 

Anyways, if the C's truly do have to just "flip this switch", they should be able to win this series in 5 or 6. I'll say 5.

If we play 'em with some focus, then we can beat 'em 4-0.

I don't understand this inability to maintain focus for 4 full quarters.

[Drucci]

I would rather have faced Milwaukee because Wade is on the other team and, his skills apart, he can turn into D-Whistle into the playoffs... so that's always a danger.

But I say we win this one in 5 games.

[The Walker Wiggle]

Celts in 5

Ditto.

Hear, hear.

Im not sure if this was intended as a joke but it is a hilarious response either way

[incoherent]

For everyone that's not worried, you probably should be.  Our team is a giant question mark.  Eric Snow said he wouldn't be surprised if we won the NBA title and went on to say he wouldn't be surprised if we lost the first round.  It's so true.

Well judging from history, it should be tough. Last year the Bulls took them to 7 games in a great series, that relly could have gone either way. The year before it was the Hawks that took them to 7 games. It doesn't appear that even when the Celtics were playinf well that they were hot in the first round. I'm afraid that if they don't come in ready, it will be over in the first round this time.

But I say we win this one in 5 games.

At least both teams play physical defense so if the refs call it even we'll be playing our style of D.
