View Poll Results: How far will the sequal go?

I think Pierce and Walker will take the Eastern Conference in 6 games agaist the Detriot Pistons...And will meat the Spurs in the Finals but lose in 5 games...But for the regular season I think we will go 600% for the rest of the season

This team will not lose to Bulls/Wiz. Whoever thinks that haven't started watching basketball until this season. Celtics are a regular at the playoffs with Walker and Pierce. Bulls and Wiz are young inexperienced teams and i do not see them advancing past the first round, even if they have a higher seed, especially if they're matched up with a proven team such as the C's. For those who don't believe in this C's team need to watch them a little more. Pierce and Walker was one of the league's BEST duo's and i believe they will regain that status very soon.

As for Dwayne Wade breaking the Glove, i get the feeling that they will probably put glove on DJ, and put Ricky Davis on Wade. Ricky is very athletic and should do as good a job as anybody on Wade(which isn't saying much but is sure a lot better than an old gary payton).

The Celtics have played the Bulls 3 times this season, the Celtics have beaten the Bulls 3 times this season, and that was prior to Antoine coming back to town....we are not worried about meeting the Bulls in the playoffs, we are hoping for it, as I'm sure Bulls fans are hoping not to.
If we win the Atlantic we will be a 3 seed which means we will face a team like Philly, Chicago, Washington, Orlando, Indiana.....none of those teams scare me. Walker & Pierce with no supporting cast killed the Pacers 2 years in a row in the playoffs....Washington is young and will just be getting their feet wet...Philly while 2 HUGE stars lacks some depth now and in a series I think that would show, Orlando we have also beat every time we've met them this season and they are sliding right now.....those teams do not worry me.
The only teams in the East I'm scared of are Miami, Detroit, and Cleveland. Honestly I think we are a matchup problem for both Miami and Detroit but they have owned us this year still...although that was prior to Antoine and he is a HUGE matchup problem for them. Cleveland has beaten us and we have beaten them and that would be a toss-up.
As it is, if we get Payton back and we win the Atlantic we will not lose in the first round....I didn't realize we were talking this season, I though we meant while they are together so I voted Eastern Conference Final but this year I see a 2nd round exit but they could pull an upset and do better than that....if the young guys mature to potential this could be an NBA championship team in a couple years.....this team now has the blocks they needed....Perkins maturing into a monster center like I think he will could be the final block.

Granted the East was very weak that year.

My question is, how far do you think the sequal can go with this time having Ricky Davis, Raef, some promising rooks and possibly Gary Payton back in the fold?

They have alot of potential. The next 10 - 15 games will indicate how quickly this team will mess. If they can get a good run going, they will make the playoffs and be dangerous.

Which two years would those be?

**sherako** · 03-02-2005, 09:48 AM

walker should be good to chuck away now, he doesn't have to face kenyon martin in the playoffs anymore.

chapi · 03-02-2005, 11:06 AM

walker and pierce are the perfect combo. they'll be dangerous in the playofs

c_dog · 03-02-2005, 11:14 AM

any good passing big man paired with a talented guard is a dangerous combo. antoine has become extremely underrated these last 2 seasons and maybe playing a pierce will remind fans around the league exactly why they were considered one of the most feared duos. antoine will soon regain his all-star status.

I think if the 6th seed is the bulls since they are so young they may play bad so they have a shot at making it to the Semifinals but I think they will get knocked out in the first round of the playoffs.

Your memory is off. In 2001-02, the Pacers came on strong at the end of the year and barely made the playoffs as the eighth seed. They lost a tough five-game series to New Jersey in the first round in 2001-02. In 2002-03 they collapsed in the second half of the year and lost to Boston in the first round.

Pan Mengtu · 03-02-2005, 01:16 PM

Why is Payton going back there? I thought he wanted out to play for a contender.

Marcus Banks can contain Dwayne Wade. Easily.
