Lots of luck involved in those picks though. Celtics have benefited from rose tearing his ACL and bosh straining his abdomen.
As for the Spurs, 4 straight years ginobili has been injured in the playoffs - nose/ leg/ wrist/ nose - the year before that they won the championship. Still healthy so far... |

I have to say, as much as I like OKC as a group of players, them winning the championship (as now seems likely) highlights two of the things I hate about the NBA:
1) Teams changing city. They only left Seattle in 2008. As great as OKC's home support is, it just seems wrong that they get a championship so soon doesn't it? Shouldn't they have to go through a bit more suffering first? 2) The draft. There is just so much disparity between the 1st pick and the 30th pick, it encourages teams to tank so they can rebuild quickly. Fair enough sometimes high picks can be huge busts, but when OKC's Big 3 were drafted at #2 #3 and #4 in consecutive years it takes the gloss off a bit. Compare that to the Spurs whose front office have performed miracles to keep this team a force without a pick higher than 20th since they drafted Duncan in 1997. |

Yea would love to of seen a spurs boston final..Two quality veteran teams battling it out for there final championship in many years..Both teams starting to look there age now, Duncan should retire would hate to see 1 of the best power fowards in history slacking and exposed on the court..Would be good to see the Celtics win this year now, but i just cant see it happening, wouldnt suprise me if Miami pull something special out the bag and take the next 2games..The young guns vrs the hype heat..But go on celticssssssss!!!!

Dont see celts beating okc if they would progress. They just too athletic too quick too young for boston and 4-1 or even sweeping is very possible.miami woul give them more to go as it would be less predictable big3 against big 3 but still 4-2 okc for me

WELCOME EVERYONE TO ANOTHER NIGHT OF BASKETBALL !!
TONIGHT WE HAVE MIAMI @ CELTICS. EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE ON CELTICS HERE AND I DONT BLAME THEM. BUT I HAVE A FEELING MIAMI IS NOT GONNA LIE DOWN EASILY. HEAT WILL LEAD EARLY AND NOT LOOK BACK BOSH WILL STEP UP AS WELL AS THE USUAL 30PTS FROM WADE AND JAMES PICK : I'M TAKING MIAMI HERE TONIGHT TO TAKE IT TO 7 @1.81 |

KR you contradict yourself there! If it weren't for the lottery there is no way small market teams could compete. OK the spurs drafted a couple of v.good guards in the 2nd round, but that was before the BOOM in international stars that has since changed the landscape of the league - other teams weren't scouting abroad quite like the spurs were back then so they had a big advantage.
...and Durant was #2 -lucky for them they didn't have to decide between he & Oden. Good for OKC. Agree with the first point though! |

By:
It's not so much the draft itself Numer0ne, more the fact that average teams know their best shot at a championship is often to get worse. Seattle had an ok team with Allen and Lewis, but it was never going to win them a championship. Instead of trying to build on those two, they knew their best hope was to trade them, have a few really bad seasons and take some top draft picks.

Like Charlotte then, with Jackson/ Wallace? There's no solution to that though. If you give all non-playoff teams equal chance at #1 the teams fighting for the 8th seed will consider tanking -that WOULD be bad.

He may lie about his stake, but you cant fault his picks on this thread..According to the 'horse racing expert' The celtics win game 6 by 15-20 points
But then again i did state on this thread Spurs would sweep the play-offs |

HAY FOLKS TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT WE SEE CELTICS OR MIAMI GO FISHING
MANY PEOPLE CREDIT LEBRON FOR THE GAME 6 WIN BUT TO ME IT WAS NEW D STRATEGY THAT WON IT FOR THEM BUT DOC RIVERS IS A HOF COACH AND WILL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TONIGHT IF MIAMI TRY THE SAME D. TONIGHT WE SEE A CELTICS TEAM THAT ARE TOO PROUD TO GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT SO I THINK THIS LINE IS WAY TOO HIGH ODDS REACTING TO THE GAME 6 BLOWOUT. THEY NOT REALISE MIAMI HAVE ONLY COVERED 1-4 PICK: BOSTON +8.5 @1.92 GOOD LUCK !! |

By:
Can see the Heat pounding into the Celtics right from the start, cant see them trading much higher than there sp tonight..Lebron plays like a monster when hes pissed off..Hope he still has the Celtic fan pouring drink on him, after game 6 in the back of his mind still
