Pierce Says Celtics Are NBA's Team To Beat

[nkdlunch]

well they are the defending champs. I see his point.

If the entire league is healthy, the Lakers are probably the #1 favorites, but I don't think it's clear. Pierce might be a bag, but his point has merits. Healthy, they stack up against the Lakers very well. Healthy, Celtics probably even have the advantage over the Lakers in a 7 game series. The continued development and progression of Bynum could change that, but there's no certainty in that just like there's no certainty in the Celtics staying healthy. But, if you give the Celtics a certainty of "health," that gives them the edge because of the uncertainty of Bynum's improvement.

You sound so stupid here, you lunkhead, you.

Pierce may be right, but that's why they play the games...goddamn I can't wait for this season to start!
