Boston in seven, should be an entertaining series, and I'd be fine with either team representing the East.

Honestly I just don't see Boston threatening the WEST if they come out of the EAST.

I don't care who wins but I just love seeing this. These ****ing Celtics never go away...I'm happy for the big 3 cause 10 years ago who would've predicted this

LLROCKS · 05-26-2012, 07:52 PM

The Heat in seven. That said no matter who makes it to the finals with these four teams, should make for a great finals.

**Headliner** · 05-26-2012, 07:57 PM

I don't know who is going to win. This has to go 7 games though. At the end of the day, it depends on who is hot each game. Both teams have players that can go lights out at any moment.

Seen this episode before. A lesser Heat beat a better Celtics team last year.. Heat in 5. Maaaayyybe 6.

Boston is going to pack the paint. This series is going to hinge on whether or not Miller/Chalmers/Battier are hitting their open outside shots.

**Wade2Bosh** · 05-26-2012, 08:02 PM

I definitely see Boston taking much better advantage of the Heat's lack of bigs, more than Indy could. Whether that's enough to beat the Heat 4 of 7, I dont know. They key will be Ray Allen's health. His 3pt shooting % against the Heat the past 2 seasons has been insane.

Lebron goes through his annual choke and Boston wins.

He really choked against Boston last year didn't he?

I agree. The Celtics one wild card in Avery Bradley defending Wade being out probably killed the upset chance.

How is a Heat team with Bosh last year a "lesser team" compared to this year's Heat team.

One word Rajon Rondo.
