according to ALL the talk about how critical defense is, which why the Suns won't win, yet the Lakers who are a whole lot better statistically on defense will, i have to vote with the Celtics and THE number 1 defense in the league.
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce with Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo and now with Sam Cassell have played fantastic defense all year.... tough for even haters to argue that this is a team built to win close games...
as we have talked about all season, we see the top 3 defensive teams in the league are consistantly the toughest teams to beat. the Hornets and the Rockets are where they are because of the defense they play...
i would offer that any of these teams could win, if they could play consistant offense - Raptors and the Cavaliers - win without their stars - Mavericks and Rockets - or keep the Heat on like the 76ers have... i am looking forward to a great playoff run
