I don't disagree.

I just appreciate the only championship of my lifetime (that I can remember) being in the garden...in a blowout...it was a marvelous night.

you guy's should' ve won 3 straight. KG knee in 09 and Perk in 10 cost yall a dynasty

tragic

I'm not gonna lie.. I never thought the Celtics would win a chip in my lifetime. Those trades

No doubt we wouldve won in 09.. the magic was ass cheeks man. Pierce was Pierce, KG wouldve been KG, Ray was meh but good in the bull series and Rondo was coming of age. Damn you KG for going down

Lakers were unbeatable in 2009


I think in a way the new format works against the Heat because if they steal one on the read they can go back and win 3 games in a row just like in 2012. They are just too strong at home with the ref advantage.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

won't be a rematch this year either, pacers in 7, spurs in 7 spurs over pacers in 5

Im not a Heat fan but I can't see the losing this series.I would like to see Pacers advance but can't see them beating Miami 2 more times.Born is gonna be motivated.

I wonder what happens if Yao doesn't get injured

Still went 7 games with the Rockets

I swear my nikka pierce was once KG went down.

We still should've beaten Orlando. Cavs would've beaten us, and the nba would've gotten it's coveted Bron v Kobe finals.

THE celtics would've had HCA in 09 remember they lost KG with like 30 games to go or whatever and still only won 4 fewer games than the lakers. he lakers were 2 inbound passes away from losing to denver. They also went 7 games against a houston team without their 2 best players.

This new format favors miami because they only need to win 1 road game to win the series. It's hard to beat a team 3 straight times even if you're at home all 3 times. I always assume the spurs will win in miami so before miami needed 2 in san antonio, now they only need 1. But it's a moot point since they WONT be in the finals.

Can't see Spurs losing 2 games to OKC

 

[HiphopRelated]

That 2-3-2 put so much pressure on the lower seed because they had to win 3 straight in order to protect home court.

I never really bought in to that, I more viewed that shyt as you split on the road and might never have to go back to that bytch

 

[stepbackj34spud]

fukk you dudes for making me think about the 2009 season.

Yeah but you're a Heat fan. We're 6-0 in them middle games.

Only 3 times in NBA history has the team hosting games 3-5 won all 3. 04 pistons, 06 cheat, 12, cheat It's hard to beat a good team 3 straight times even if their at home all 3 of those games.
