Looking Ahead: Who'd you prefer, Miami or Indiana?

[Smokeeye123]

Obviously us wining the series isn't set in stone, yadayadayada, (it pretty musch is though barring any injuries), which team do you think gives the Celtics another chance at a Finals berth?

Going to have to go with Miami at this point. The Pacers have some BIG Bigs and are just a more balanced team.

We are better then both teams, so It wouldnt matter, I have watched our games vs the Pacers this year, we looked like the better team, we just have more talent. Hibber isnt a dominant player either, he isnt going to score 20+ every night, its actually rare for him to score 20 in a game.

[Roy H.]

Indiana.  Yes, the Pacers are more balanced, but the Heat are more dangerous, especially if they get Bosh back.

[CoachBo]

I would prefer playing in the ECF.

That's my only concern at this point. We are NOT there yet.

[RajonRondOWNED]

Bosh should be back by next series. So the Pacers all day every day.

[CelticSooner]

Either team will be a handful. I'm not sure the C's will get another shot at Miami though. Just not enough offense without Bosh Spice.

[mqtcelticsfan]

Absolutely Indiana. You never want to go into a series where the two best players on the court are on the other team. At any time either LeBron or Wade can just completely take over and win the game.

payback against the heat would be nice

[esel1000]

Indiana 100%

[Atzar]

Definitely the Pacers.

I will say this, though:  Indiana presents some problems for us.  They're a good rebounding team, and Paul George in particular is a tough cover for us.  Either Rondo or Bradley would be giving up at least six inches in that matchup.  

Also, it might be worth noting that this team would LOVE the opportunity to pay the Heat back for last year.  If they get the Pacers, then they may not come out with the same energy and intensity.

oh they will... its like last night, our core knows its probably their last run together the eyes on the prize not revenge over one team. In their eyes they took care of that during the reg season with two embarrassing heat losses

Don't understand why people want the Pacers. They are killing Miami on the boards and we have not played them well at all this year. Rebounding is our Achilles heal.

[Who]

Indiana. Definitely Indiana.

[Prof. Clutch]

I think the answer is unequivocally Indiana.  There a tough team, but we proved during the regular season that we have their number.  And even though we did well against them this year, a series against Miami scares me honestly.  I think we're talented enough to beat them, but they have 2 superstars who can explode on offense and/or get to the free throw line whenever they want.

So I choose the Pacers...if we can get past the 76ers that is.
