Owner Real Deal Posted October 30, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Celtics fans (or if you were a Boston fan), who would you rather face in the ECF's? Also, what other team would you be most scared of in the postseason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heir Rose Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 With two losses already, and in my opinion a less talented roster, the Cleveland Cavaliers should be the Celtics' preference in the Eastern Conference Finals. They are a very good defensive team, they can score both inside and out, and they will bounce back once Delonte West returns and Shaquille O'Neal starts to gel with the rest of the team. Still, I think that the Magic are a better team with Howard, Carter, Lewis, and Nelson, and would cause more problems for the Celtics than Cleveland would. For the second poll, I picked the Washington Wizards. They appeared to have done very well against the Mavericks, and Arenas seems to be back on track. Washington looks to be a great offensive team, and though they'll give up a lot to the Celtics they could score enough to challenge them. Chicago doesn't have Ben Gordon anymore, and his outstanding performance in last year's playoffs series can't be duplicated by the Bulls' current group of guards.

kingfish Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Cavs really cant match up with the Celtics, so I say Magic are tougher. Perkins handles Shaq quite easily, there is no double teams there. Lebron always has his hands full, and the rest of their roster are just not as talented as the Celtics complimentary players.

SRT Spidey Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I voted Magic and Wizards. Although i really am not worried about any teams in the East. Its everyone in the West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revis Island Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Magic, Cavs are somewhat a bad match for the Celtics. If Celtics face Magic, the series would go 6 games....MAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramiel Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I would like to play the Cavs more then the Magic. I don't really look in to the other parts of the playoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldChili Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 If I were a Celtics fan I'd rather play the Cavaliers, it would be much easier to shut them down in my opinion. And based on how teams are playing lately, I think they'd be most scared of the Heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtics have Perkins to shut down Dwight Howard...IN SINGLE COVERAGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care of his teammates, and his 40 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists don't mean anything. On the other hand, the Magic have way more depth and I think they would put up a much better fight.

The Next Knick Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Orlando, just because of how strong this team has become. They have an unbelievable starting 5 where anyone can score, and a great bench with great depth. I also picked the Miami Heat because of other players besides Dwyane have really played better and stepped up such as Beasley and O'Neal.

fish7718 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 If I were a Boston fan I'd rather face the Cavs. They match up much better with the Cavs and their interior defense rather than the Orlando and their lack luster perimeter defense. The team I'd look out for is the Bulls. I know the Bulls lost Ben Gordon who was the antagonist in that series against them but Derrick Rose is better, Loul Deng is back, and if Tyrus Thomas starts playing well I wouldn't want to see that team.
