I think you too quickly dismiss the Rockets. There past struggles in the first round are not a reason they couldn't beat the Celtics anymore than that the Celtics not making last year's playoffs are a reason they won't make this year's playoffs.

Also the Mavericks are still a solid team that competes night in and night out with any team in the league. A single victory against them is not indicative of any performance in a long series. The Mavs will contend and are oddly the kind of team that the Celtics have modeled, with a lot of wing and swing style of players, lacking of a dominant post up or point guard.

I needed a vaction, and then work changed substantially. I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
