Preffered Finals Opponent

[TruSkool]

on a side note, we beat orlando, we beat boston...so bring on the next best thing, miami please.

Why are people mentioning Orlando? They aren't considered contenders the likes of Miami and Boston. Orlando's equal with the Bulls as far as chances of getting out of the east.. They can do it, but it's not likely.

The question being asked is who would we prefer, not who we think is coming out.

Furthermore, just because Boston and Miami are the perceived favorites to come out now, doesn't mean its a lock to happen.

The Celtics are the closest thing to a guarantee, though. We've watched that unit come out before, but in Miami's case, I place them in same tier as Orlando and the Bulls for now. No one knows what they'll look like in a 7 game format or how they'll even adjust to a team like Boston. They're depth is questionable and their offense is utter crap. Nothing but isolation plays after isolation plays. Along with questionable coaching and interior play among other things, I'm not sold on them after what I've seen.

In that Case I'd prefer the Cleveland Cavaliers out of anyone..

Celtics of course. Yes we lost to them today but it showed that the Celtics aren't as good as previous years which allowed Kobe to go off. Fisher and Artest played terrible and we played 3v5 out there. However, the Heat blew us out in our home court. We played the Celtics well until a melt down.

I thought I was the only one who saw that.

'08 Celtics were still better.

So were the '08 Lakers.

Celtics. Plus, it would be funny to see the Heat not even get out of the East.

Word. I'd love to LBJ's face

There's nothing better than beating our longtime rivals, give me the Celtics.
