Boston is the East's Best Team
The Celtics have too much size for Miami, and play exceptional defense vs. the Heat. Ray Allen has been Boston's most consistent player this season, taking his shooting to new heights.
Allen at age 35, has not seen a decline in his game, and that is attributed to his amazing work ethic. The Celtics are the hardest working team in the NBA, and this is unusual for a veteran laden team.
Boston is by far the best defensive team in the NBA, and have great length and quickness. The Heat and Magic are quality teams, but they cannot compete with the depth of the Celtics.
Celtics' bench players like backup point guard Nate Robinson and forward Glen Davis would start on most teams, but for Celtics coach Doc Rivers, they are a spark of the bench.
Boston will coast to the playoffs like they did last season, making sure they manage the minutes of their older players to avoid fatigue. But there is no better team in the eastern conference than Boston, and an NBA Finals rematch with the Los Angeles Lakers becomes more realistic everyday.
