   When I think about who will win a series against Miami, my first instinct is Celtics in 4.  The Celtics are simply a much better team.  I find myself trying to talk myself out of this because Miami has home-court, or because Wade and Lebron will take a game or two. 

1  Home Court - Miami
2  Athleticism - Miami
3  Youth - Miami
4  Top two players - Miami
5  Coaching - Boston
6  Experience - Boston
7  Balance of talent (5 all stars) - Boston
8  Depth - Boston
9  Size - Boston
10 Execution at clutch time - Boston
11 Chemistry - Boston
12 Heart - Boston

  Both teams defend well and both teams have a ring in recent years.  Both teams are also missing a rotation player in Haslem and Shaq.  The most important qualities in winning a series are heart, coaching, experience, chemistry and talent.  The Celtics win 4 of these outright and our talent is more balanced.  The Celtics look to me to be a much better team and the only way I can see them losing a game is if they beat themselves by being complacent. With the type of motivation they have shown this year,I don't see that happening.  Celtics in 4.

I love the title of this, because the only team that can beat the Celtics is themselves. They are the most balanced TEAM in the league

The title sounds like a court case to me.  ;D
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

I agree. And you need to keep in mind the intangibles. Celtics have been greatly rested and if the Heat lose tonight they might not even get a day to prepare for the Celtics, while the Celtics have been sleeping in their own beds and preparing and gameplanning for the heat everyday.

I agree with your opening sentence, I've been saying Celts in 4 and trying to get myself to say 5 or 6 because of the star power they have....but honestly in the current matchup Rondo is the best player
