Should I just cut and paste Bill Simmons' article?
I say it's either Celtics or Nets. Pierce and Walker are it. But that's the whole East. There aren't any good teams. They are all very thin aside from the one or two stars.
Celtics get the nod over the Nets because it's the only way for Boston to re-create '86-'87 when all four major teams were in the championship game.
And there's no way the Pacers make it. The team isn't that good, and if Isiah were white he'd just be another mediocre coach
