You don't have the hype of the beginning of the season starting nor do you have it like you do when you're about to enter post season. Mark it down, Celtics will be a very tough team to beat come playoff time.

Complacency. Going into the Lakers Christmas day showdown, they still had something to play for. It seems like in the NBA, this is pretty common. It's tough to stay up for every game. It's almost like after the Laker defeat, Boston has just stepped back and taken a breath. It can't be fun for a Celtic fan, but I anticipate Boston will turn it around.

Since their loss to the Lakers, there has not been a marque match-up until the Rockets game. Marque, meaning a true contender for the championship. I anticipate seeing a different Boston team Friday versus the Cavs.

I think the Cavs will bring it home this year! LeBron is playing the best of his career and he has Mo Williams to take some pressure off!

I agree, Championship goes through Cleveland this year.

^ I still don't think Cleveland will win it. They are as good as they have ever been since LeBron has arrived but I still think they need that dominant big man to bring home a championship.

Do you think that they need a dominant Big man??? As Michael Jordan and the Bulls if you need a big man?

Cavs aren't stacked like the Bulls was.

You don't have to have a dominant center to win. Celtics didn't. KG is not a center, Perkins was. Gasol was a 4 playing out of position for the Lakers last year. A big man helps but is not necessary.
