    It bothers me that all of Boston's starters who are under 33 years old shoot free throws like they have their hands tied together.

    It's hard to find things about the C's that don't bother me right now. I haven't given up on them, but like all of us, I'm feeling pretty pessimistic.

    I'm surprised nobody is picking MIA for the upset here; they have played extremely well lately, and the C's have played like @$$, let's be honest. Also, Wade is the type of player capable of carrying the Heat past BOS all by himself

    @3

    Bill Simmons picked the Heat, but the internet consensus seems to be Celtics in 7.
