Pick of the day

Celtics vs Cavs in regular season game 1. For these two teams last year was nothing but a disappointment. Yeah they both made the playoffs and had great seasons up to that point but neither team was able to make it to the big show and for these elite teams that is how they are measured. Who will be able to come back from the painful playoff losses to have another great season and make their way back to the playoffs where they can redeem themselves. I think both teams stand a legitimate chance to make it to the post season again this year. Obviously the Cavs still have the MVP of the league in Lebron James and they have given him back up ammunition with Shaq. On the other side you have Kevin Garnett back from his season ending injury that likely kept them from making too far in the playoffs last year. They still have the big 3 in KG, Allen, and Pierce. This team has one of the great young point guards in the league in Rondo although if you ask me he still hasn't won me over completely. As for tonight when these 2 teams square off I think the edge will definitely go with the Cavs. Unfortunately for the Celtics they have some things going on off the court that may pre-occupy them tonight. Glen Davis is out due to a broken thumb which will also call for a suspension due to his off court actions Sunday night where he got into a scuffle. Also Rondo and the team have yet to come up with a deal to keep him from becoming a free agent at the end of the year so that could be on his mind tonight as the deadline for a deal is later this week. Without complete focus on the game you hardly stand a shot against Lebron and company. Lebron led the Cavs to the best record in the league last year with an almost flawless home record. Look for him to lead the team again tonight as they put a hurting on the Celtics.
