This is why the celtics are good... The celtics have a breakdown PG. If you look at the recent dynasty's of the NBA, one thing in common a breakdown PG. The Spurs, with Tony Parker. Heat had J Will, and the Lakers had a combo of payton and fisher. THe celtics then have shooters with PP and Ray Allen... But what makes them special is that after Rondo breaks down they cant rush a shooter. The Mavs and Warriors series, when Harris would breadown Davis, they would play up on Howard, it was over. But who do you guard Allen or Peirce? Peirce can drive and shoot and Allen has a quick release. If not, they dump it in down low to KG. Watch the game, and you'll see it about on 10-15 possessions, that rondo will drive kick out and either the its a quick shot or dumped in down low after the D scrambles...

I have to go with the celtics. Celtics have better interior D, and even though Bynum is looking nice, I think there is little let off when the combination of Powe and Big baby are on the court. Sure they are slow, and their O is suspect, but they go after the boards, and Gasol doesnt like to mix it up...

Celtics look good right now. They can play any system, they have the personnel for it... If KG wasnt so over dramatic, I would actually cheer for them.
