Rewind: Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic :: 2010 NBA Playoffs Day 30
Do you realize that the Celtics have now won 4 straight? 2 of those 4 have been on the road too in Cleveland and Orlando.
Don't be fooled by the Celtics' defensive dominance and boxscore filler individual performances either- both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic are very good teams. The problem for them was/is that the Celtics are just playing very, very good basketball right now. If they can make it the 2010 NBA Finals, they're going to be champs. Neither the Suns or Lakers stand a chance if the Celtics keep playing like they are right now.
The current Celtics are like the Wu-Tang Clan. They're stacked with legit MC's up and down the roster (well aside from Glenn Davis and Brian Scalabrine who couldn't even make the N'Sync roster). It really doesn't matter who is on any given night. Just believe that between Rajon Rondo, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rasheed Wallace, Tony Allen, Kendrick Perkins (man this guy is a bully), and even Nate Robinson business will be handled. You don't need all these hoops MC's to get the hit single. Just a couple. That's all it takes and that's all these guys are about.
And of course I think you can guess who this guy is on the Celtics:
An Ol' Dirty Bastard classic.
It's none other than...
Ol' Crazy Rasheed Wallace
Last September I predicted these guys to be the 2010 Champs (see Around the Association: 2009-2010 Boston Celtics- Sheed in Green + Another Answer). I'm not going to try and act like I've thought that they were going to be the champs throughout the entire regular season and playoffs, but right now I'm coming in full circle.

Western Conference Finals Game 1
Phoenix Suns @ LA Lakers
6pm PST | TNT
Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Jason Richardson, Grant Hill, and the rest of the Suns have had a remarkable pos-season run. They fairly easily took out a banged up, but motivated Portland Trailblazers team in the 1st round. Then they shocked everyone and swept the San Antonio Spurs aka the Snores in the semifinals. It's been a fun run fellas. I'm proud of what you've accomplished.
But the Suns don't stand a chance against the Lakers in the Conference Finals.
Not a chance.
Kobe and the Lakers will OWN Steve Nash and the Suns in the Western Conference Finals.

So um, yeah.
Don't get me wrong. I'm rooting for the Phoenix Sunny Delight. I just don't think they have a shot. None at all.
But I'd love to be wrong. In fact, I hope I'm completely wrong.

That was a charge. As usual, the Lakers will come out slow and the Suns will beat them with the pace.

Neither do I
I don’t get how the majority of people think Suns can keep up or match the Laker size advantage.
"I tell him straight, 'If you're going to lead, you have to be the first to practice. You have to come in, get your work down and be prepared for practice,' " assistant coach Keith Smart said. "He needs to figure out why he is having stomach problems and he's got to watch how LeBron (James), Kobe (Bryant) and D-Wade (Dwyane Wade) work. He needs to mimic that if he wants his teammates to speak volumes about him." -Keith Smart on Motna Ellis
SIgh, Lakers already up 10
I know the Suns were down against the Spurs too, but I can’t believe they’ll come back against the Lakers. Suns will have to prove to me that they can come back.
That's just too easy for Odom
Nobody slowed his drive
I don’t know what’s worse, my ex cheating on me, or Jessica cheating on the dubs nation.
tonight, i shall weep.

It annoys me

Good Foul Sasha
You gonna see the bench from now on with Uncle Phil
Win Or Lose Warriors For Life.........
on the replay a moment ago
it looked like Amare went for the block on Kobe’s shot, opening up the spot for the Josh Powell putback
Despite the Lakers winning the rebound battle
and shooting 61%, Suns are hanging in with 6 more made FTs. Thanks Sasha for the gift FTs.
Suns can't get past the Lakers defense
and they can’t stop the Lakers
Possibly
I think some of it depends on his size.

If Wall can play SG, trade Monta
if he can’t, trade Wall, I think

Naw, that was skill
got position far enough from the basket that Brown couldn’t really dunk

Suns can't stop the Lakers
and they can’t get past the Lakers defense. Double whammy.
