    We will probably see CELTICS VS NETS in the playoffs. I think the Celtics can win if Pierce and Walker both play good. Also the PG duo are pretty good players and can score. In my opinion for some reason I think the Celtics can beat the Nets.

    If the celtics meet the nets in the playoffs they wont win unless someone helps out paul and antwan cause they cant win in the playoffs alone.

    It is hard for a player to win by himself any game, but it is especially important for the supporting cast to play well in the playoffs. Last year the Celtics got alot of production from Kenny Anderson, and made it very far because of that. Shammond Williams and Tony Delk can both score, we know that. But if the Celtics want to get far in the playoffs, they will have to play together and work to get open shots, becuase there are not many other teams that can turn it on better than the Celts.

    well they kind of did last year. And lets face that was a very close series. after the memorial day breakdown i didnt the think the nets could pull it out. Theyll get contributions from bremer and co. i think the biggest factor will be if pierce and walker can be pierce and walker and not have a cold series like the christmas day game. its a tough call each team has blown out the other once this year but i think the celtics would win because the nets are still only as good as kidd makes them

    If celtics can't beat the Pistons then they can't beat the Nets.

    well it was last year but it wasnt that different. pistons fans are bias in their dislike of the celtics but a lot of people actually agree wiht u but as an impartial observer, the pistons are improved only slightly more than the celtics these arent two completelye knew teams were talking about and the difference in last years playoffs was so obvious it was of little contest. so maybe the celtics were a 6 last year and are a 7 or an 8 this year. the pistons were a 4 or a 5 and are now a 6 or a 7. the pistons improved more but the distance still remains. The pistons thou likely have a better chance against the celtics than the nets. im not sure the nets will win a playoff series this year.

    what about when the nets lost by 40 to the kings. what about when the nets blew a 20 POINT LEAD in the 4th quarter to the celts in the reg season AND in the playoffs? this stuff means nothing. for every game that supports your point there seems to be another game or two that supprt mine.
