RIC BUCHER: When we first discussed debating who the surprise team of the playoffs would be, I figured the most difficult part would be choosing from a half-dozen or so options. Did I want to go with a playoff newcomer (as in, OKC or Charlotte) that seems poised to pull off a first-round upset? Or did I want to go with a coming-on-strong team (as in, San Antonio or Portland) to reach the conference finals? I decided to go the other way and pick the team whose staunchest fan, The Sports Guy, already has given them up for dead. I'm saying the Boston Celtics are going to be in the Eastern Conference finals.CHRIS BROUSSARD: You are certainly going out on a limb, my man, because I don't see any way Boston gets by Cleveland in the second round (assuming the Cavs beat the Bulls in Round 1).
Hope he's right, I have trouble keeping optimistic today.

Yeah man I have been a bit negative for a while but now, I am tres excited. Bring em onnnnnn!!!!!
Me and a friend were talking about the play-offs the other day. We were talking about how the team looks real shaky and is a long shot. Then we started talking about who we know will be ready for the play-offs. First he said Pierce, then I said Rondo and Ray would be ready, we ended up going down the list of players on the team and with the exception of Sheed(shocker) we agreed the guys would be ready. When you think about the players we have on this team it's hard to count this team out. With that said these guys do have to bring it we are capable of being a much better team than we've shown if guys just bring it.
