2007-2008 Celtics = 92-93 Suns ?

[lefty]

Some similarities :

- in 92, Phoenix signs a superstar (Barkley); plus , Barkley was 30 when joined Phoenix

- Suns had the best record in the L; Celts have the best start so far.

- Barkley wins MVP award; it's obvious Garnett will get it this season

- Celtics will have the home court advantage in the Finals, but the battle-tested Spurs will win the 1st 2 games on the road; no sweep, series return to Boston, Garnett leaves Horry open, and Spurs repeat

2007-2008 Celtics = 92-93 Suns?

So the Celtics are going to:

-barely edge out an 8th seed after the refs give them all the calls
-shoot 65 FTs in the conference finals and cheat a superior opponent out of a place in the Finals
-play no defense throughout the playoffs

I don't see any of that happening.

I never said those 3 things would happen

RIngo's hatred has reached idiotic levels.

We know the idiotic part is right.

The current Celtics play defense, why must people compare them to teams that don't, such as the old & new Suns and the Mavs?

Spurs vs Celtics in the finals would be incredible. It would be interesting to see how our big 3 compete with theirs. On paper, I'd have to give the Celtic's superstars the edge.
I think we're probably the only team in the league that could beat them in a 7 game series.
If the Spurs don't make the finals, it might just be the Celtics year.
