6 for the Magic and 4 for the Celtics. Last round against the Bulls they all picked the Cs to win.

I'm surprised the Celtics got four people to pick them. I'm not sure if that's a reflection on how people feel about the Celtics mental toughness/championship heart or how they feel about the Magic's potential immaturity/combustibility. But it's interesting nonetheless...

Last year in the finals all of them predicted that the Lakers will win, so don't even bother listening to them

These guys are jagoffs. Front runners as Shaq would say. Boston in 6 games. Book it.

Ha----Doesn't surprise me one bit----Adande is probably STILL picking the Lakers to win the 2008 Finals...Legler is the only guy here with any credibility.

Legler was the only espn "expert" to pick the C's in the finals last year.

Good old Legs - always on our side. Gotta love him. He was the only ESPN guy that kept telling people that we're better than the Lakers.

Well, I'm going with Boston in 7. This edition of the Celtics has now had 5 playoff series, and won all 5, but always in 6 or 7 games.

I think the Cs can get the series to 2-2, then to 3-3. And in a Game 7 at home, I think the win once again.

They'd have to favorably surprise me in the Orlando series for me to forecast a win against Cleveland afterwards, but first things first.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I recall Legler picking the C's, but this was the "official" prediction image ESPN posted last year:

These experts predictions do not mean a thing. I believe the only "expert" that picked the Celtics last year in the finals was Legler.

Simply because the celtics have been around since the inception of professional basketball, and the magic just hit 20 yrs.... i think you should rethink this dis bro.

The Celtics have won more championships in the past 20 years than the Magic have.

Indeed, they've won more in the past 2.

what does that prove? year 1 of orlando magic basketball was well into the management and history of the celtics...

Let's not get into the reasons why the celtics... uhh... "won" anything in the past two years when the year before that they were arguably one of the worst teams in basketball...

Good for you? i guess?

They threw Ledger in there later on to try and be political.

Little did they know.

celticfan42487 · Post #20 » by **celticfan42487** » Mon May 4, 2009 5:24 am

btw someone had those picks as their sig. With Ledger.

I'd like to wear that sig but with the original pics that were put up this thread where no one picked the celtics.
