7 games vs hotlanta can't be good, especially when the team you might play in the finals (if you get there) is the Lakers or someone else who went only 4 games in their first series.

Will all these games add up for the Celts and they might be more tired when the finals start than a 'fresher' team from the West?

I have to imagine that the Cavs are going to make the Celtics go 6 or 7 also.

Do we think that these 7 game serieses add up in a negative way?

my guess the 6 games for the cavs took just as much out of them if not more from the pyschical stand point..

Im thinking more of the Celts down the line, if they get past Cleve in 6 or 7. That will be 13 games to get by the first 2 rounds where the Lakers are looking at only playing 8 or 9 to get by THEIR first two rounds. (assuming the lakers get by NO)

The Lakers could still go 7 in the Utah and then 7 again in the NO series.

So much for my theory. Looks like an easy 4 game sweep for Boston.

no. in a 7 gm series, the better team will win.

a 4 point win in game 1 means they will now blow them out, just 5 minutes ago u thought the previous series would hurt them..

The officiating in this game, particularly the 1st half, was atrocious. I guess the only way you can shoot under 30% for a half and be down 4 is to have 18 FT attempts.

It's hilarious how Sam Cassell can get kicked in the head and not have a technical called but Lebron can get looked at the wrong way and have a flagrant issued.

I hope Cassell gets a concussion for leaning his stupid head in Zee's legs. This is not the Hawks where chip shots were allowed. Fight fire with fire!
