The Celtics are great but they wont last against the Pistons in a 7 game series. I dont think any team in the East will be able to hang with the Pistons in a full series. The team to beat in the West is the Lakers. Besides Kobe and Pau, their depth is incredible. Jordan Farmar, Andrew Bynum and Derek Fisher are key players that have stepped up to help the Lakers. But we have to watch out for the Spurs, especially now that Ginobli is playing well.
