'Cause they're not.


Ya, Cleveland definitely was a fluke. I think the Pistons were the 3rd best team in the Eastern Conference playoffs this year.

I think this is the first year they might try to shake it up a little. Boston will be back, and Cleveland can get better with their expiring contracts.

KG brought em back from 10 down. PP put em in front. Allen was on the bench but I am sure he was out there in spirit. Posey showing why he is such a valuable role player. Rondo being dumb and being smart all in the same possession. Just a great performance by Boston in the 4th quarter. Winning twice on the road to erase all the talk about them not being able to win on the road. The Finals will be good....maybe even great. I can't wait until next Thursday.

That was touching to see Pierce's reaction. That's the look of someone who's suffered long and hard before breaking through.

Stern has the matchup he wants. He has the two top seeds, the mvp and the must high profile player... NBA marketting machine has no excuse now.

I think Boston fans needed this. The Hawks and Clippers and Magic and Pacers and Kings have had their days in the sun. But finally the poor, forgotten Celtics fans see the Finals again.

Celts are hyped. "Beat LA". Nice. NBA has no excuses now. Finals better do 20 million a game. If not Stern might as well give up with rigging games b/c its just not worth it.

I want to see KG not win a championship for turning down LA and going to the east for easier run.
