Originally posted by MoneyManMike The Spurs only need six more wins. It is completely doable. Although I don't really want to see it. I would be happy if OKC wins at least one game, and then the Spurs sweep the finals. 😛
That was prophetic Mike....but they may win more than one game.....
Can the Celts stun the Heat? Before the playoffs I wouldn't have given the Celts a 1 in 100 chance of making the Finals, but for most of the last three games they've thoroughly outplayed Miami when Garnett has been on the court. Can they pull off the upset? And if they don't does this bode poorly for the Heat when they play OKC or SA who have considerable big man depth?

Yeah wow is right. I never thought OKC could recover from being down 2-0 to SA. Good for them. I still stand by what I said earlier though, and thats no matter who comes out of east, OKC should prevail specially if its against Celtics.

At least they went deeper than the Lakers and took a heavily favored team to 7 games with the last game still up for grabs in the fourth quarter. Kudos to them and to the Heat.
Originally posted by MoneyManMike Yeah, maybe if Pierce, KG, and Allen take a drink from the fountain of youth.
Maybe you didn't watch the playoffs, but KG played great. Pierce was a bit off, but still contributed and is only 34. In all probability, Allen will be gone.

You are clearly in the denial phase of grief right now. The Big 4 era is over. That group will never win a championship again. Just accept it.
I don't know how long you have watched the NBA, but it is just about impossible to win a championship when your best player is over the age of 34. Who is going to close for the Celtics? Rondo? How did that work out for you in games 6 and 7 of the ECF?
