Yeah, let's go Boston!

Seeing as we owned the Magic on Christmas Day I'm still confident that the Celtics can take this series even after we cooled down as far as the wins column was concerned during the second half of our Reg. season. The truth now is that we just beat the favorites to upset the Lakers in the Finals this season and we're not about to back down to anyone else in our conference, especially when the Cavs and Magic both are notorious for choking @ the Big-Show.

I'm hoping that Nash and the Suns can actually challenge the Lake-Show in their series, but y'all remember what happened to the Rockets in last year's post-season (T-Mac, Ron Artest, Yao??) so there is a good chance that the Lake-Show will advance to the Finals, again. That means we'll just have to kick their behinds once more and end any hope that they could possibly repeat as champions.

The road to the Finals continues with Game 1, vs the Magic...

We go this, with healthy KG, outstanding Rondo and Ray, against downgraded Orlando team compared to last year, we got this in 5-6.
The switch is ON  ;D

I agree.  I look at the starting lineups and give Orlando the edge only at center, count whichever wing has Vince as a wash, and the C's with the edge at the other 3 spots.  Sure, if you go 9 or 10 deep, Orlando's got the better bench and maybe they've the better bench overall, but Doc doesn't really want to go beyond his 3 main subs anyway.

Put fear in the Magic heart by beating them in game 1.

Go Celtics!

We're 15 minutes from the tipoff of the ECF and yet the pregame show is only talking about LeBron... ridiculous. ::)

I suddenly got superstitious that after correctly predicting the first two series, I hadn't made a call on the ECF. So, Celtics in seven. Jameer Nelson is the x factor. (Go get him Rondo.)

Also didnt know it was Vinces first conference finals, I know hes a vet but maybe our suffocating D will throw him off his game and give him jitters....Also smack him a few times
