Not really relevant

the 2 Cle losses were the 1st game of the season and another game a few weeks ago where they sleepwalked through the 1st half, got down by 24 and just got beat (the game where leBron took the off balance three instead of going to the hole to force OT)

it wont be close

that is a heck of a wager joey. I want to pull the trigger on that but I could see the cavs letting up for two games.

If the Bulls can win one, Boston can win two

I may end up regretting this but I would want to know the money line for a C's vs "Labron and the Labronettes". Her heiness has still never won anything but exhibitions and high school games. Assuming he gets a walk over in the next round may be a bit hasty....

Does anybody actually watch the games? Have you seen Boston play lately? What matchup does boston have an advantage at? Williams and Rondo is basically a wash because Williams is such a better shooter with 3 pt range and a 90% FT though Rondo is now an elite PG. You want Pierce against leBron? Think the 2010 version of Garnett is better than Jamison/Funny hair guy/Hickson combo? Shaq/Ilguakgas or Perkins? I'll give you Allen on the offensive end but simply because Cleveland's SG's arent asked to do much on that end because of James, not because he is the Ray Allen of 2006.

The Celts bench is not productive. Allen/Davis have their moments but that is pretty much it. Davis played great in place of Garnett in game 2 but hasnt had another good game the whole series against a pretty inept Miami frontline. The last 2 games Bostons bench hasnt done much of anything. Cleveland has a huge edge in depth.

Neither team has Red Auerbach as a coach so there isnt much of an advantage for Boston there. Plus LeBron is clearly the best player on the court for most of the game and Rasheed is clearly the worst when he drags himself off the bench.

What happens to Boston is Rondo gets into foul trouble? You feelin nate Dogg in the playoffs? They basically have no backup PG. They may get swept.

Yeah, I've seen every minute of this Heat series where the Celts have simply been the better team every game. Teams with older stars coast Chuck when they know the best chance of them surviving is to play the best seeds like Labron's boys as early as possible in the playoffs. Doc is able to get the most out of what guys are playing well and what combinations work. Rhondo is a wild card who may play like an all pro or a hack who blows lay ups. He's gifted and useless all in the same day at times. Having seen generations of this team find ways to beat younger and supposedly better players time and time again. I like the Celts chances to give this a run but assuming both get there to round 2 easily, if the Celts lose two in Cleveland to start the series you may be right about losing a short series but if the green split or better they have the talent to finish it which an awful lot of teams don't have. Sit back and enjoy it....
