Bulls are gonna give 'em a tussle. But there's no way they'd take a Game 7 in Boston. Pierce would win that game come hell or high water.

If they're going to do it, it'll be in six.

No. 2 BOSTON CELTICS (62-20) vs. No. 7 CHICAGO BULLS (41-41) (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-playoffpreviewcapsules&prov=ap&type=lgns)
Brian Mahoney

Season series: Celtics, 2-1. Boston won the first two before Chicago’s 127-121 victory March 17, the lone meeting after the Bulls remade their team following the trade deadline. The two key players they brought back, John Salmons and Brad Miller, scored 38 and 21, respectively. Kevin Garnett sat out that game.

Storyline: The Celtics could be without Garnett throughout the playoffs because of his strained right knee. That could make them vulnerable against a Chicago team that played very well in the second half of the season to surge from well below .500 into postseason contention.

Key matchup I: Ray Allen vs. Ben Gordon. The two sharpshooters from Connecticut can get on hot streaks from the 3-point line. Gordon didn’t do much against Boston, averaging 12.7 points in the three games. Allen had 27 against Chicago in one of Boston’s wins and without Garnett may have to play at that level throughout the series.

Key matchup II: Rajon Rondo vs. Derrick Rose. The Celtics look great whenever Rondo plays that way, which isn’t all the time. He was good against Chicago, averaging 14.7 points and 10.3 assists. Plenty of eyes will be on Rose to see how the No. 1 overall pick and likely Rookie of the Year performs in his first postseason.

X-factor: Leon Powe. Has given the Celtics a number of strong performances off the bench or as Garnett’s replacement in the starting lineup. He missed 12 games down the stretch with his own knee injury but looked ready after an 18-point, 13-rebound night against Washington in the season finale.

Prediction: Celtics in 7.

fuck off......just kidding

i have a feeling you guys can and will knock them off. hopefully Rose tears Rondo a new one, and Ty Thomas gives that front court nightmares:toast

For Chicago to give Boston a run for their money, Rose has to seriously outplay Rondo.

The Chicago Bulls have everything it takes to upset the Celtics but if I'm Finals MVP, Paul Pierce, I'm saying,

"Not on my watch!"

One of the best performers on the big stage accompanied by knockdown shooter, Ray Allen, I look for the Boston Celtics to take care of business and advance.

[tomtom]

Rose will channel the MJ in him :lol

Good Jon Barry impression. Now you just need a profile picture of a limp, decrepit penis with a goatee, and you're all set.
