Don't worry JordansBulls. Cavs have no shot to beat Boston in Boston.

I haven't seen a full quarter in the Boston/Cavs series because it's been so horrendous, it'll be the same thing with a Cavs/Detroit series, I'd probably watch more of the series if it's Boston/Detroit.

it's gonna be ugly that's for sure, but that's just the MO of these 3 teams.

Really want to? No. I'd prefer Detroit/Boston.

But I wouldn't mind at all a rematch between Detroit/Cleveland, I think it'd be a good series, and would continue their rivalry with new faces.

Maybe not generally being good, but for who it would apply to.

Hell, a Cavs/Lakers Finals would be something special to watch...

I think it'd be a slugfest. I'm not sure however why anyone would think a Detroit/Boston series would be any different. The only real drama would be when would Boston lose one at home.

Because I get to see a real team in the Pistons, and a genuine future legend in LeBron.

Boston vs. Detroit would be a matchup of the two best teams in the league, with star-studded rosters headed by great matchups (Rip vs. Allen, KG vs. 'Sheed).

Cleveland vs. Detroit would be round three of an intense playoff rivalry that's seen pretty much every game come down to the wire.

Boston runs a picture-perfect motion offence, and Detroit's offensive versatility enables them to run well-executed plays and generate open looks. Cleveland has the Big Z, who has a very fluid offensive game... oh, right, and LeBron.

I'll be glued to my seat for game 7 of Celtics/Cavs and glued to my seat for every ECF game.

As for a Cavs/Spurs rematch, I don't think the Cavs will be able to make that happen, but that could be interesting in terms of the Cavs wanting to get revenge and the Spurs playing so beautifully.

I think all six teams left in the playoffs play great basketball and I'm content to watch any matchup within that group. They very well might also be the best six teams in the league (there's a very good case for Jazz over Cavs though so don't shoot me). For sure, Celtics/Pistons/Lakers/Hornets/Spurs are top 5, and even if Cleveland isn't quite up there, no team with LeBron can be counted out so easily.

How could someone not want to watch this?

The Celtics did not take into account the fact that none of their big three were exactly known as Playoff performers before they got them. I think they'd get crushed by Detroit. I'd rather see LeBron try to work another motor city miracle instead of see that beatdown.

It would definitely be interesting to see if Detroit can figure out a way to defend Lebron. He completely owned them last season in the playoffs!

Agreed. I would want to see what the Pistons do this time around.

Because you're not a real basketball fan, we get it.
