Who would you rather match up in a playoff series??

[raptor21_85]

I know if we get high in this season, we could match up both teams, but who do you think would be the most difficult oponent Boston or Detroit in the postseason?

boston. and hope theres an injury

hope one of em get upset in the 1st round.

Boston. They came out of the gate blazing but the Pistons are a deep team whos stars have played together for a long time.

I'd rather play Detroit. They've looked great in the regular season the last couple of years, only to flame out in the playoffs, especially with a giant choke job to Cleveland.

They are capable of getting complacent, tuning out their coach, etc.

Boston just looks too focused, too intense, to look past anyone. Plus, I think they will acquire a veteran point guard (Cassel, Stoudamire) to either start or play behind Rondo, and I think that will be a huge addition.

Boston... Detroit is way to good and there proven winners.. what has Peirce Kg and Allen ever won.. i would much rather face them in the playoffs than Detroit.

[Kabookalu]

This is the second best Detroit team ever since their first championship this decade, I'd rather much face Boston tbqh with TJ Ford healthy.

Boston, because Detroit is a team that we have zero chance against. Even if they lost one of their players.

An injury during the series to one of the big three in Boston gives us an opening. Plus, I'd consider Detroit to be more playoff savvy than Boston's lineup, superstars and all.

Neither, they're going to get knocked out in the first round.

Charlotte finishes the season strong to place 8th and face Boston in the first round. Charlotte in 7. first round upset.

While Cleveland drops to 7th due to a series of weak plays late in the season to face Detroit in the first round. Cleveland wins in 6

Boston has the Big 3, but Detroit has Sheed. He just rapes Bosh whenever they play.

ford - billups
parker - hamilton
moon - prince
bosh - wallace
bargs - mcdyess

ford - rondo
parker - allen
moon - peirce
bosh - garnett
bargs - perkins

very tough matchup wise however we have had better games against boston thus far.. so boston it is!

[Rhettmatic]

I'd take Boston. They've cooled down lately and, in my opinion, will continue to do so. Ford and Calderon could really expose Rondo over the course of a seven-game series.

Boston will be be a better match up, for one we have two PG's who can burn their starting PG and can exploit Eddie House. Bosh seems to be on his peak and when he is playoff ready he can handle KG. Our problem is when we focus too much inside then forget about the perimeter, which Boston can completely exploit with Pierce, Ray Allen, Eddie House and Posey. If we can step up our perimeter defence then Boston is a easy target, especially when they are season worn out.

Detroit at this point is very hard to play, now that they give their youngings more playing time it seems that the older guys(Sheed, Dice, Billups) dont have to do as much. Rip and Chauncy can score 15-20 every game, and sheed can turn it on in big games. Maxiell and Dice are hustle guys who can both be able to guard Chris to some limit. And of course Prince has the ability to shut down our Parker or Delfino. Detroit is all about team defence so when we can rotate the ball as we did in SacTown we can score easily, even though we all know Detroit dosnt forget to guard our shooters. All in all, Boston has lesser effective guys, and the chances that another injury happens and takes a toll on that team is very high.

[Southward1]

we have a chance vs. boston, because of the pg battle. If one of the big 3 go down, than the raps would definetely have a chance.

Pistons would beat us in 5, they have better players at each position (and bosh is terrified of sheed so that cancels it out)
