1) even the 2010 celtics with a healthy Shaquille oneal won't sweep my blazers
2) you're overestimating how good baron Davis, thabo, and the non-celtics are and you're underestimating how important the roles rondo, ray, and Perkins have been this year. Look how easily the heat dispatched the celtics without a strong inside man (which Jo was not...he was better than we expected, but not so much so that it compensated), and a hobbled rondo. Now, I don't have a 2some as good as wade/lebron but my team is infinitely more balanced and strong everywhere else.
Without the pass first playmaker with all NBA defense quality and the sharpshooters around the post, the dynamics change. Good team, yes....but not as good as mines
