Re: All 3 Boston teams winning the championship??
Suns such without Nash, it's already been seen. Suns without Amare, well they got lucky but made the WCF. Duncan gets hurt, he's a huge loss but if Manu gets hurt they are still fine unless it's out for the season. Parker getting hurt I think would be a big burden now. With the Mavs losing Dirk would be huge but the rest of the teams is pretty replacable. With that being said I'd take the Spurs bench over the Celtics in a second and I'd take the Mavs too, and I'd be unsure about taking the Suns. I just don't think the Celtics are that deep. There are many more questions with the Celtics than there are the Suns or the Spurs who didn't completely overhaul their roster over the off-season.

[/ QUOTE ] I never said the Celtics would win if their stars got injured. I'm just saying if Duncan, Nash, or Amare go down (especially Duncan or Nash), there is no way that the Spurs or Suns win either. I have already said injuries are the biggest factor in terms of our team (Doc being the 2nd biggest.) It's the same with every team out there as well. KG/PP/Ray Allen have all been very/pretty durable throughout their careers though.

If Tony Allen comes back healthy he could be decent (although I feel hes a bad fit for this team and is much more effective with the ball in his hands). Depth is not that big of an issue for this team aside from the back up center spot. Also KG will probably play some center anyway so a KG/Perk Center platoon is fine vs any center not 300+ pounds who are named Shaq or Eddie Curry. Big Baby could fill in at backup PF and do a decent job. Maybe you don't hate Boston, but most of the other people in this thread do.

Re: All 3 Boston teams winning the championship??
12:1 sounds about right for a 7 game series between Spurs/Suns and Celtics. That's a marked improvement from the Finals last year, which was probably more like 20:1.
