No.

 

[bwoodfolkgd74]

its not.

it was only great because we smashed a 1 seed. even tho it went the full 5, we kept them chumps at bay

bulls celtic series is something else ...the entertainment value for the average fan is through the roof

lakers kings series sucked. i dont get why people find that series good with the ref problem looming above it.

I'll go with that, and this series has me hooked.

I know so many ppl who got sucked into this series and they not fans of either squad.

I can see an onslaught of posts like this in the near future.

*insert random series*>'09 celts vs Bulls

Another thing, no way was that Knicks team an 8 seed if that was a full season, remember that was the lockout year and they dealt with tons of injuries but inno way were they the 8th team in the east if it was an 82 game schedule.

The only thing the Knicks/Heat series was better at is the fact that the knicks were a team that weren't that great until that late run, and they were upvs a clearly superior Miami team that was at 100% full health (and the Knicks did not have Ewing), that is far more impressive a victory than if the Bulls pullout a game 7 win.

they defied all odds winning that series and going to the finals, but the Bulls/Celtics series is far more entertaining from a casual fan standpoint (eventhough KG is not playing). This series is pretty much guard play vs guard play.

on a side note its hard to believe its about to have been 10 years since that knicks heat 1 vs 8 seed matchup. Damn time flies. It's getting close to itbeing 20 years since those early 90's Knicks Bulls battles as well.

That series went by so fast from what i recall since because of the lockout they tried to catch things up. there was no long layoffs between games which iliked. game 1 was on a saturday, game 2 was on monday, game 3 on wednesday, game 4 friday and the classic game 5 on sunday.

Same here, I'm rooting for the Bulls.

you know how the NBA has these "will something amazing happen?" commercials? They could make a whole new set of commercials using moments from theCeltics v. Bulls series, so that's why it's better than the NY-MIA series you mentioned.

I did feel this way, but it slipped my mind how many blowouts were in that series.

Seriously. The series was not that nice. I was old enough to watch it. I remember JVG on Zo's leg.

The numbers don't lie. 4 games that weren't close out of 5. This series is much more enjoyable to watch for numerous reasons. Let it go...
