Is Cleveland really the better TEAM?

[Mr October]

If LeBron is leading the way with a spectacular performance, the Cavs are the better team.


If LeBron isn't the best player on the court by a wide margin, the Cs are the better team.  Boston doesn't really have one player who can consistently dominate, but they've got 4 who can be the best player on the court for brief stretches.

Although against the Cavs, the C's do have 2 very consistent weapons. The Cavs have no one that can guard Rondo or KG. KG in the post is a weapon to go to anytime the C's need a quality shot. There wasn't enough of that in game 3, but in the other games it has been beautiful to watch KG go to work.

[Mr October]

C's have the been team without a doubt. I was laughing at Charles and Webber before game 1 when they were saying the only advantage the C's have at the 5 starting positions was PG. They couldn't be more wrong.

I'd also say the Celtics have the 4 best players in the series after Elbron.

I'd rank them:
Elbron
Rondo
Garnett
Pierce
Allen
Shaq
Jamison
Williams
Perkins
Parker

Hehe. You give parker too much credit. Aside from a few open 3's, he has been terrible on defense, and mostly mediocre on offense.

I'd take Sheed's defense over him. Or TA and Davis's energy. Or even AV's energy. I'm not sure what is going on with West. He should be more dangerous.

I thought Parker played average defense when he was defending his own position.

It's when he has been asked to defend Rondo that he has become a defensive liability.

I was just rating the starters.
