That's pretty much been my story until last year when I watched the Spurs during the playoffs (I'm been a Tim Duncan fan since his days at Wake). I was also a BIG Boston fan during the Bird era (hey, as a white boy who couldn't jump, who wasn't
), so I like Boston's chances as their defense is going to be the key imo. One other thing...I've always despised the 2-3-2 (as opposed to a 2-2-1-1-1) format for a seven game series, but I think it will possibly work in Boston's favor this year. It always seems that the home team opens the series winning both, then is able to "steal" one of the 3 middle games on the road. If that happens, RARELY can team win the last two games of the series on the road. Celtics in 6 or 7.
