Celtics Finally Greet Pistons for ECF Showdown

As predicted, the Piston and Celtics are indeed at the top of the Eastern Conference heap. The Pistons didn't really have too much opposition on the road to the finals while the opposite has occurred for teh Celtics. Two nail-biting playoff series against the Hawks and Cavaliers for the C's were physically demanding compared to the Pistons challenges by the 76ers and the Magic. However, the two 7 game series have actually given the Celtics more chances to play alongside one another and get to know each other better. Let's be honest, the Celtics didn't get a chance to face much adversity during the regular season, except for a Garnett injury that the Celtics easily overcame with little fan fare. So these two grind it out series for the Celtics can be considered as character-building for this team.
