The Cavs are done and at least Lebron shook hands this year.

tough matchup for Celtics IMO. shooters all over the floor for the Magic and a big man that they can't guard 1 on 1. 

Celts are playing good ball but haven't faced a full squad yet. Just Wade and Lebron. The Magic have 4-5 ppl that can go off.

3 hugh factors that favor the Celtics IMHO

Garnett is playing unlike last season

Perkins can play Howard straight up no problem

And the most important factor

Hedo Turkoglo isn't playing......Celtics just had no one to match up with him.

Gotta like the Magic to beat up on the older and slower Celts. The best hope that the Celts have is to get Dwight out of the game like Charlotte did....other than that I see no viable way that the Celts push this past 6 games.

Magic in 6 does seem like a good prediction...

 

you guys thinking (-250) for Orlando, something like that?

No way, Orlando has the biggest jonah on their team this year.

People give Turk waaaaay too much credit for Orlando's success last season

Yet ignoring the return of a healthy Nelson./

For those referencing Garnett not playing last year remember that Jameer Nelson is healthy and playing this year for the Magic as well. I'd say Magic is 6 seems logical. Then again, I thought the Cavs in 5 or 6 was what was going to happen in this series so I'm probably the wrong guy to be making predictions right now.

I bet the Magic to win the East, but I'm thinking about hedging.

There's a reason the Celtics have always given this team trouble (remember w/o Garnett they took them to 7 last year). 

Rondo will be able to do what he wants against Nelson and should be able to significantly slow him down.

Carter won't be able to keep up with all the screens for Ray Allen. If they put him on Pierce, Paul will have a much easier time then he had in the Cleveland series.

Garnett will be able to put Lewis in the box.

They all have good matchups. It's a long series because of that but I still am giving the Magic a slight edge b/c of Howard and their team depth, which the Celtics can't match.

If any of the Celtics are in foul trouble the replacement is significantly worse, which can't be said for Orlando.

especially orlando has most numbers of 3pt shots made. howard will dominate the paint while carter and nelson will dominate the 3pt line

Don't bet against the Celtics...They should have been there last year except Garnett was hurt. They have destiny on their side. Orlando will get crushed by Lakers but Celtics will beat LA. .......

Not to kick you when your down,....but it's easy to be logical when it comes to things being played out,...if you watch the game,..stay away from the bullshit ( games are fixed , ect) then,,,it's easy...

He definitely killed the Celtics last year.

It should be a hard fought series, but I think ORL will edge them in 6, if not 7. I'm thinking this series took a lot from BOS, physically.

This should be an excellent Eastern Conference Championship.

I agree that beating the Cavs was a big deal in Boston. The Magic took 3 of 4 from the Celtics this season, but the Celts are playing good ball which can't be overlooked. 

It will be very entertaining to say the least. Looks like the line is opening at 6 for game 1
