Admin Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 That's about as good of a dream as you can have without Biel, Alba, or Halle in it! Unfortunately I don't see much chance of that happening although I think we match up well with Detroit, Orlando, and Cleveland and would give all of those teams fits. It's going to take another season and some bench depth before we will be capable of winning a playoff series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can handle Detroit if all the moons lineup in the perfect oribits and we play better than we've been playing recently. It would be so cool for this team to go to the ECF!!

Johnnybravo4 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I think so too...I think we are more talented 1-5 than Houston is(without Yao) and they won 22 in a row. We just need their defensive intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traceman Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I think we could give any other team in the EC some real competition. DET will obviously be tough because of their experience but I don't think they physically overmatch us the way BOS does. BOS is a matchup nightmare for us. We simply have NO ONE who can come close to guarding KG and that creates a series of mismatches everywhere else. Whoever doesn't guard KG between Horford and Smoove is too small for Perkins. JJ MIGHT have enough strength to somewhat neutralize Pierce but we can't put him on Pierce because neither Marv or Chillz is quick enough to guard Allen. Rondo is too quick, strong and athletic for Bibby. All that AND they are arguably the best defensive team in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
