Good question. I believe they have a strong enough team to go deep in the playoffs. Keep in mind that they are a young team with just a few experienced players. By experienced players, I mean players that have a few playoffs under their belt. In the West, I really can't see a team that can keep up with them. Just last week they played 4 away games in 5 days. All West teams and beat them convincingly in their own court. The East is what scares me. Very unpredictable. The only team I can see giving them a problem is the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons have a very experienced team, especially in the playoffs. Granted, the Celtics just beat them last night, in Detroit, 92-85, snapping Detroit's 11 game winning streak. What really surprised me was how the Celtics won, after playing the night before and beating a very good Memphis team. They beat Detroit with their bench. That's the Celtic's strong point this season . They have very good bench players. But that's just one game against Detroit. But playing Detroit in a best of 5 or a best of 7 series, that's where Detroit might be favored because of their experience. In my heart, I would like to see the Celtic's go all the way. But if I was a betting man, I would put my money on Detroit.
