2nd Round Playoff Matchup-Detroit or Boston?

[Test of Wills]

Alright lets not get ahead of ourselves and say we are going to the second round. But if we get past the first round we gotta face one of these teams anyways. So who would you guys want in a playoff matchup Detroit or Boston? Honestly, I wouldn't want to vs. the Pistons in a 7 game playoff series their grit, defence, bench are too much for us. Their starting 5 at every postion is talented everyone contributes no offence to the Boston squad.
Billups>>Rondo
Hamilton>Allen
Prince<Pierce
McDyess<Garnett
Wallace>>Perkins

Who would you verse?

I disagree with the bolded part.

On topic though. With DETs bench and they starting 4/5 being playoff tested, I'd pick BOS and hope to get lucky.

[Nothingface]

I pick Boston, and it's an easy choice.

[chsh22]

We won't win against either team, but if I had to choose, I'd say Detroit (by a very very very slim margin). Boston's had our number this season, and Detroit fell to the Cleveland LeBrons last year.

[99 Problems]

Boston is unproven in the playoffs, has slowed down somewhat recently, and has struggled without Ray Allen... plus we played them close with our full team earlier this year...

whereas this Detroit team has been to at least the ECF for like the past 5 years.. and has had our number forever...

Its a no brainer... although we probably lose either way..

[foetopsy]

Of course Boston.. they lack the experience Detroit has and they lost to the Wizards twice, lmfao

[from24ft]

Boston seems like the right choice. Anyone of their big 3 can be playing hurt (after a long season).

I think it's more like this:

Billups>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rondo
Hamilton>Allen
Prince<<<<<<<<<<<Pierce
McDyess<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Garnett
Wallace>>>>Perkins

I think it's more like this:

Billups>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rondo
Hamilton>Allen
Prince<<<<<<<<<<<Pierce
McDyess<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Garnett
Wallace>>>>Perkins

But IMO good defense can easily throw Garnett off.

Personally, I'd rather see a DET-TOR series. Win or lose, a playoff series against a playoff hardened team like Detroit would be much more beneficial in the growth of our players over the long run.

But IMO good defense can easily throw Garnett off.

KG is one player that's smart enough not to start forcing up garbage against good defense. He's very unselfish. And since they have 3 studs that are all tough for any defense to handle, he doesn't need to be that guy either.

Baring a major injury or two, I don't think the Raps can beat either of these teams in a 7 game series. In fact, I think we get beat pretty soundly by both. Our biggest goal needs to be making sure we finish in the top 6 and avoid these 2 monsters in the 1st round so we get a team that we can handle. Baby steps.

[Pchu]

We can't handle neither team in a playoff series. I think we would get swept by either team.

Boston

[RealGood]

Boston, by a landslide.

1. We took them to overtime in our season opener.
2. They are unproven in the playoffs

[JD225]

I'd take Detroit and hope for a collapse . The fact that we have 2 very quick point guards plays to our advantage in tiring out Billups.

We would probably get swept by either team though. Just think the Pistons give us a better chance of a meltdown.
