Simple question? Boston or Cleveland (assuming their rosters stay the same and no trades are made). Boston, for sure.
I will give Boston credit. They know what it takes to get to the Finals and how to win it. They can be scary come June.
I threw Orlando in the poll. I voted Boston, though. They are the reigning champs, plus Cleveland hasn't proven to be a particularly good against good teams on the road.
Definitely Boston. Cleveland is good, but honestly, I'd be shocked if they ended up beating the Celtics in a 7 game series. I was wondering if they were gonna pull a trigger with Wally's expiring contract, too bad nothing happened. Adding Vince Carter would've been interesting. LOL @ Spurs not making a trade either.
Blame the Blazers fans. They made it sound like Garnett had some massive injury. Sounds like he probably just had a minor strain.
Celtics, but Cavs are close if they're 100%. Celtics are the champs, really not much else to say unless you think Posey and Brown were the difference in the Finals last year.
Blame them? Your the one who reported it without even seeing it. Boston is by far tougher than Cleveland I think. The Lakers' know how to defend LeBrick.
That's a contradicting statement. Alston is a chucker, he didn't do a good job of feeding Yao in the post and he won't do a good job feeding Howard either. Orlando is a 3-point happy shooting team and Alston is going be right in the mix chucking up at least 10 shots a game from the perimeter.
Alston makes the Magic more dangerous, but not as dangerous as they were with Nelson. Still, they may be able to do something against the Cavs or Boston, but I still don't see them getting to the Finals in any scenario barring injuries.
I agree he's an upgrade over their current two PGs, but Alston was one of the main reasons Houston never got out of round 1 in the playoffs.
