Celtics win series but have no time to relax

With the Celtics dramatic Game 7 win over the Cavs, it's time to turn our attention to the upcoming Conference Finals.

Here are the facts:

The Cs needed a monster effort from Paul Pierce to conquer a sub-par Cavs team.

Ray Allen was absent in this past series, culminating in his four points in Game 7.

The Pistons will have a week's rest and Chauncy Billups' leg injury will be ready.

Here is the prediction:

Billups will control the series.

Rip Hamilton will score in bundles because who's going to stay with him?

Rasheed Wallace will step up and nullify The Big Ticket.

Here's the summary:

The Big Three are up the creek!

Atlanta looking peachy

Ray Allen has always been one of my favourite basketball players...BUT...I can't help but jump onto the Atlanta Hawks bandwagon right now. Those guys are awesome and Game 7 in Boston will go off no matter what happens. This could be the biggest upset in NBA history.

Let's go Hawks!
