Those Boston teams were great. The rivalry they had for a few years with the Kobe/Gasol Lakers was a good period in the NBA.

I can see BOS pushing this to 6, maybe 7 if Cleveland is ice cold from three.

Either Gilbert Arenas, Derrick Rose, Paul George, or the Boston Big 3.

Indiana took Cleveland to 7.

I don't know why Boston couldn't be better than that.

Because that was a long time ago in basketball time .

The disparity at coaching is all Boston has going........LeBron vs Stevens

I don't think he cracks that group, no.

A lot of it is simply the draw. Wade got swept and upset in the first round in 2007, and Bosh was upset in the first round too. Wade didn't make the playoffs in 2008 and Bosh didn't in 2009. Wade got beat in 2009 by Atlanta, who proceeded to get swept by Cleveland in the next round. So on and so forth...

I don’t think this Cavs roster is capable of running anyone off the court.

They just swept the #1 seed with a game two road win of 18 points and a close out win of 35 points.

I don't think Boston wins, but they are better equipped than most to make it "difficult" (that's not the right word) on LeBron. They've got good size on the perimeter -- Brown, Tatum, Semi -- to slow LeBron's momentum and Horford to meet him around the rim. I just think they are still too young to rise to that occasion though.

They should be able to defend Love a whole lot better than Toronto did (or didn't). And Stevens is going to exploit Korver a lot better than Toronto did (or didn't).
