Boston had a top offense for most of the way. Getting Hayward back is huge.

Kemba needs to start playing like an all star or MIA wins in 6

Boston are tested while the Heat have almost cake walked through the playoffs.

Boston in 6

I'd feel like a loon assuming anything less than 7 games.

I dont know. I could literally see anything from Heat or Celtics in 5 to 7 games.

Heat have the better player, team and better coach. No way in hell. Put some respek on Miami.

Based off what? How did they look head to head in the regular season?

Congrats for beating TOR, Celt fans! If the Clippers make it out of the West, I'm rooting for BOSTON! to win the title. Don't let the Lakers down by losing it! And I'm dead effin serious about rooting for Boston o'er LAC. I hate everything about the Clippers. I hate their owner sweaty Ballz and his encroachment on Laker territory, I hate his appearance and behavior (he's worse than Cuban ever was imo), I hate that he built a team that can beat the Lakers, I hate he's a billionaire, I detest the Clipps' sloppy 2nds history of doing everything they can to get old Laker players or sh like buying The Forum, signing Jerry West altho that was 50% a Lakers bleepup. Eech.

In the 3peat and repeat years and the 2 Finals losses in 04/08, the Sterling Clipps had the gob to buy commercial space during Laker Finals games to promote Clipp season tickets. They're like roaches, you wanna squash them. I hate the Celtics MUCH less. I don't care what that says about bein a haturr or having the Clips in my mind, it's just how I feel. Imagine you had Buffalo come to Boston and set up shop there and try to be you. Clips were tolerable when they sucked, but now that they're a threat to beat the Lakers in the playoffs and win a title, that can't happen. Boston can hang that 18th or whatever it is before the Clips get a REAL foothold by winning a title. And the Lakers' window ain't that long. A lot of tenuousness after this year. Does AD re-sign and is he enough and all that. When is Brawn gonna break down. So it's imperative that the Lakers beat them or someone else does before it's too late.

(updated para):
PS: I do have a feeling the Lakes are gonna beat LAC in 6-7. Clips STILL show an on and off flaw. It's weird. As of 9/13, Clips have shot .500+ in only 4 of 12 playoff gms whereas the Lakers have shot .500+ in 7 of 10 gms. Being taken to 7 by Denver is another signal. They played around with the Mavs, too. They're a box of chocolates in the Gumpian sense. Brawn and AD are ready. They'll both be there for certain. But the Clipps are deep. We'll see how much of that deepness that Greaseface Killa actually uses. The 2000 Blazers were deep too, but they had the law of diminishing returns working for them, especially at F.

I'm throwing expectations for this series out of the window. I'm too mentally exhausted to worry about it anymore. May the better team win.

If Hayward plays, Celtics in 6. If not, then Heat in 7.

Hmm, if Hayward is back and can move like he did pre-sprain, I got us in 5 or 6. I think we match up better against the Heat. If he isn't back, I still have us in 6(oh well).

I got the Cs in 7 even without Hayward. Should be a really good series
