Who would you rather play in First Round? Philly or NY?

Philly

I say NY is a better match-up because of their chemistry. They made a major trade and it will take at least a year for them to figure it out. Philly on the other hand got a great coach who will push them hard. Just like Heat in the beginning of the season they will look lost out there.

Oh a side note if Philly ever fired their coach I would like Doug Collins as a replacement for Doc if he ever left.

They are both easy wins for the Celtics. It doesn't matter which one of them it is.

New York is probably a little easier. They have to rely on so many non-rotation worthy players + Mike D'Antoni is doing a terrible job as head coach since they changed their personnel.

At least Doug Collins will have his team together, as a unit, competing on every play.

It would be very nice to have homecourt against Miami in the second round. That is what I want the most.

I'd go with NYK, Paul Pierce will kill them alone

Both teams are dangerous.  But I don't see Philly having the power players to actually win a series.

Melo, Amare, and Billups can get it done if they click at the right time
