I'll call for a supposed upset of the Heat in 6. Boston has been a very vulnerable team for 2/3rds of the season - 0.500 ball since their insane start. Rasheed is washed up, and right now Allen, Pierce and KG aren't playing great at all. Rondo is great, but they're also suffering from Pistonitis. At some point, "we can turn it on at any moment" will turn into "we lost because we didn't take things seriously."

Wade is excellent and generally incredible in the playoffs. The Celtics swept the season series (I believe) but the playoffs are a very different situation.

C's in 6. A team of senior citizens beats a 1 man team every time.

Celtics in 7, but I wouldn't be shocked at all if the Heat won.

Am getting greedy as a Heat fan, I think 5 games Heat, if Heat comes out with their top of the line D.
They also have guys that look hungry, our lineups look more balanced, only guy that is questionable is J.O, he got hurt a lil while ago, and has looked piss poor the last few.
If J.O and Beasley show up, we are extremely tough.

Boston may be playing mediocre, but Miami isn't going to do anything against them. Celtics in 5 as they could wake up in the 2nd Round thanks to this series.

Heat in 6, Wade is in a league of his own if he's on his A game in the playoffs. Beasley/O Neal are obvious X factors. My darkhorse for a potential X factor is Mario Chalmers if he gets substantial playing time.

Getting to play Miami in the second round sure would be nice though...

Wade can do major damage in this series. I think it is possible for him to avg close to 35 a game because the Celtics don't really have anyone who can guard him. Guys like Daniels and Tony Allen might be brought in off the bench to try and slow Wade. On the other side who does Wade guard though? I don't see him chasing Ray Allen around nor guarding the bigger Pierce so I guess that leaves Rondo. However, does that opens up oportunity for Ray and Pierce getting match up against lesser defenders?

Who ya got?
