Eastern Conference Final Preview?

Boston Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers a great beginning to what will hopefully be a very good season.

It is going to take some time to get used to Rasheed Wallace and Shaquille O'Neal playing for their new teams. These two teams are loaded with talent and tonight's game could be a preview of what is to come.

Boston looks great with strong play both inside and outside. They are going to be very hard to beat this season if they remain healthy. Rasheed coming off the bench allows Boston to stretch the defense, which makes it impossible to double team the post with the player guarding him. He will be the key component to making another run at the championship.

Meanwhile LeBron is blocking shots like he is swatting mosquitoes. His defensive intensity has to be matched by the rest of his team to make a return to the finals. If the Cavs can pick up its defense, they have an opportunity to be very special this season, but that depends on how quickly they come together.

If I had to choose right now who will be in the 2010 NBA Finals I have to pick Boston. I feel they could possibly get 70 wins this season and still be very fresh enough to take down the Lakers in 6 games. For Boston it is 1 win down 69 more to go.

I love this game.
