NBA Playoffs

Correct me if I am mistaken, BUT

Miami 99
Boston 101

Miami's depth is 6 deep...Boston goes 10 deep, Antoine, Pierce, Raef, Allen, Payton, Jefferson, Delonte, Banks, Blount, and Ricky...

if they are so deep and good, then why arent they manhandling everyone?

They just got Toine back...why don't you check their record since the Toine deal...not including the games he was banged up a bit...surprisingly no team goes 82-0 and everyteam even squeeks out their meak 15-20 wins, even the worst team...so take that into consideration they have done quite well lately

still, they will not be in the finals, there are too many other stronger teams

The Heat are the only competition and I feel their depth is questionable...The Pacers just don't have it, the Cavs are slipping, Washington is our bitch, Detroit is questionable, who the frig is really stopping the Celts from making the finals

Go the baby bulls!

No team besides Miami can match Pierce in the East...then it's Shaq vs. Toine, and the Celts depth over shadows Shaq's advantage

Has Pierce ever done anything when it mattered? And has Toine ever seen a shot he didn't like? I'd take Miami, Detroit, Indiana, and Washington all over Boston in the playoffs.

Tim is back,and Devon Brown will be back by the start of playoffs,so the Spurs should be ready to roll again to another title,phoenix no way ya gotta play some defense to win title's,i think My Spurs are the team to beat,Spurs and Heat,Timmy and Shaq at it and Spurs in 6

Clearly you haven't seen Antoine on the Celts Round II, so I will dismiss your comments on the matter due to lack of knowledge. Pierce, with Toine, led a bum Celtics team to the Eastern Conference Finals. Everyone fails to remember when Pierce is with Toine he's a top 5 player in the league.

You seem to be stuck in the past. I can forgive you for that since I too would like to ignore the current Celtics team. But the fact remains that they're not one of the best teams in the East.

Funny you should say that

Boston 101
Miami 99

Boston 105
Philadelphia 98

Washington 108
Boston 116

Boston 115
Detroit 113

Boston 100
Indiana 86

Those are the last games that the Celts played against these playoff squads with Toine, the Indiana game was the last game they played against them period

Dude...why don't you look stuff up before you speak, the C's are 17-7 since Antoine's return...in comparison the Heat are 16-9 including a loss to the C's, Detroit is 16-8...But hey you're right, dismal Celtics team, , Detroit and Miami are really lighting the league on fire compared to us

the thing is that Detroit and Miami already have their playoff spots. They're not fighting for position like the Celtics. Why don't you look back at those last 25 Heat games and see how many times Shaq sat out. Plus the last time I checked the Pistons had won 9 straight. And just to clarify, the Celtics lost their last game against the Pistons 105-99.

i'm just glad the Lakers didn't make the playoffs (and I'm huge fan of theirs)

serves them right for shipping away shAq and turning the team over to that whinny under achieving kobe

i wish they'd have traded kobe to the Heat for Dwayne Wade!

I still can't believe they sat Luke Walton last night when he was one assist away from a triple double. One of the shittiest coaching decisions I've seen in a while.

What's there to clarify dude. I said the last time Antoine played them. Yes Detroit is on a 9 game winning streak, , and they're still 16-8 their last 24, not helping your cause dude

nacho,it's the lakers c'mon,right up thier alley with descion making,and i'd have to agree about the Heat,Shaq hasnt been playing as much and his heart isnt in the right place,come playoff's you can bet it will be,not only do i think they are the team to beat in the east ,i think Shaq will be out to make a point ecspecially with the Lakers not making the playoff's

Crazy concept for people to coach to win not for some guy's stats

yeah that organization needs a shake up, maybe missing the playoffs will light a fire under their ass
