ESPN: Boston Projected to win the east beating Detroit in 7

FINALS

Detroit vs. Boston -- Think this is a seven-gamer all the way, one that could end up coming down to final possessions in multiple games. Very evenly matched teams, with the experience factor going to Detroit . But I love the way Boston has defended. The team played well during the absence of Kevin Garnett. While the team's marquee big man was sidelined, Leon Powe, Kendrick Perkins and Glen "Big Baby" Davis got more opportunities to play.

Finally, I love the pickup of Sam Cassell by Boston, with the immeasurable experience and confidence he brings. You like seeing him out there on the floor at the end of a game. P.J. Brown could be a factor, as well. Expect a play here or a play there that's going to decide the series. (Celtics in 7)

Safe picks in every round, what a waste of time by ESPN, a 4 year old who's never watched basketball could make the same picks just by going off team regular season records
