I don't like to make predictions - but I like the Celtics chances this series. I just don't think that the chemistry is there in Miami and they can be contained.
The beatings will continue until morale improves

I really all pretty much depends on whether Shaq is back for Game 1.

I'm looking forward to this series.  I'll go with Celts in 6, although it could easily go 7.

Don't you mean Celtics vs Sixers?   :P

I honestly think the loss in Game 4 might be a good thing for Miami.  They were developing some very bad habits in those last couple of games, habits that we would've made them pay dearly for.  If they regroup and stomp the Sixers tomorrow, it may help them coming into our series.

Call me crazy, but I think the Knicks are going to be the Celtics' hardest challenge. It would be fairly easier in the later rounds...

To me Knicks unconventional style was a problem for the Celtics, cause it forced their defense to be more spread out and not focus on strong side defense. But every other team is more conventional and plays into the Celtics' strengths

The bench would only get better, Shaq would come back, and Celtics are going to be that '83 Sixers. Fo fo fo

The Knicks, who play no defense and who were without their starting point guard for 3 of the 4 games and who did not have their starting, all star power forward at full strength for 2 1/2 of the 4 games are going to be the toughest challenge the Celtics face in the playoffs?

I will make this prediction for game one.  The Celtics will come up looking somewhat flat, missing a lot of jumpers and getting out-rebounded, and be down by eight or so at halftime before pulling out a close win.  Some fans here will say that this does not bode well because a well-rested Celtics team should come out swinging and that a win may be a win, but that Boston just doesn't look like a championship team.  When the series is tied at 2-2, someone will start a thread about this would be a sweep if the trade hadn't been made.  Then, the Celtics win in six.

Sounds pretty spot on to me.

Knicks at full strength is better than the Heat at full strength. Everyone is forgetting that
