Celtics

The Boston Celtics have to tread carefully right now. Their mini skid has become a slide, and they've actually fallen behind the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference standings.

Sure the Men in Green are the defending league champions, but the chinks in their armor may eventually become gaping holes. The

This really highlighted the Celtics shortcomings. KG puts so much effort into both his offense and defense, that at times he overwhelms himself and just can't keep up with these younger forwards. The reason being, Stone Hands/ Cement Feet Kendrick Perkins is getting outrebounded, pump faked, and beat off mediocre turn arounds, left and right. KG has to get Perk's back. Ray Allen, although at times seems to be a sufficient enough defender, gets caught up in screens and lost underneath the hoop on backdoor cuts, which leads to KG getting his back. Paul Pierce, who defended like he did in his early years, is sometimes just not athletic enough to defend against the Joe Johnsons and LeBron James's. Thus this leads to KG stepping into the lane to get Pierce's back. Ultimately, KG is often defending 4-5 guys every time down the court. That's just unfair to expect him to do this for 40+ minutes.

East

Celtics-Hawks: Honestly, this is the only sentence I am writing about this series because it’s going to be an easy sweep.  Celtics in 4.

Cavs-Wizards: By far the most intriguing first round series in the East.  These two teams have met in the last two years and the Cavs have won both times.  LeBron owns this team but this year could be different.  The Wizards are finally healthy and have more confidence then they have had in the past.  They truly believe they can beat the Cavs, as evident by their comments last week stating they wanted to play Cleveland.  The LeBron’s are not as good this year as they were last year so this could definitely be the Wizards time.  With that said, I don’t see LeBron out in the first round.  Cavs in 7.
