If Boston Is Healthy In The Playoffs Will They Bring Cleveland Back Down To Earth?

[HacheMan]

And give them a taste of reality or do you believe the Cavs can really take out a healthy Celtics' squad this year?

Cavs do it this year imo.

if boston is healthy they are still the team to beat in the east

If they played in a neutral court, Boston wins this series. Boston is a better team, overall, but Lebron's just a nightmare for this team to handle. They seem to have no answer for this guy.

However, since Cleveland's got the homecourt edge, it's a tossup. I still believe Boston is the team to beat, but they just seem to have a defeatist mentality whenever they play at Cleveland. I just don't get it... and this is with every other team - with the exception of the Lakers - in the league. Nobody thinks they can beat Cleveland at home. What's pathetic is they don't even try. When teams find out they're playing Cleveland at home, they just immediately chalk it up as a loss and ask each other what they feel like doing after the game, even going as far as to ask what good movies are out right now.

as a cavs fan + home court advantage, i really dont see cleveland loosing to boston.. plus it seems this mike brown team in the playoffs really learn their lesson each year. example of this is against detroit, lost in 2006, but owned them in 2007. they seem to gain experience from teams. and if they played boston in a 7 gamer, i think they would win in 6.

orlando is the team to beat. they seem to have great success against both cleveland and boston. the only reason they couldn't show this previous playoffs, was cos they could never get past detroit. but that wont be a problem anymore lol..

so ecf for me is cavs v orlando

 

[smallunits]

boston is still the team to beat and i believe they will come out of the east...I also believe that either cleveland or boston will take orlando out whichever plays them first..

diop no disrespect meant at all, but I can't believe you think Orlando is the team to beat in the East. I personally would be shocked if they beat Celts or Cavs, never mind both in back to back series. I think they all have equal records against each other first of all so I wouldnt be impressed by their great success in the matchups
Also, Magic got blown out by Celts twice full strength and Magics 2 wins were without KG/Rondo once and with basically no KG in the other.

I think my Celts are the BEST team in the league still when healthy because they can win on road too BUT for now you have to say Cleveland's the team to beat (or at least co-team to beat) because theyve done it all year long and are unbeatable at home, where they'll hold any game 7

Give your own team more credit man! haha I'm looking forward to that rematch hopefully this year

this is the nba and everything will fall into a kobe lebron championship where lebron takes the torch away from kobe.

i dont think there is any sport where 75 of the people think something is fishy somewhere along the line everybody knew it last with boston and LA the ran the story of the two great franchises in november of that year now this year there comparing lebron to god so go figure

lol@orlando being the team to beat... watch them lose to Detroit in the first round. pretenders no doubt.
