I have been surprised at how easily the Celtics have handled the Prestidigitators so far, but one thing I knew... the Celtics would play with heart. R. Allen, Rondo, Pierce, T. Allen, Garnett, Perkins..they are all about heart.

They struggled through a overly injury plagued season and started to get healthy just a few weeks before the playoffs began. This was a team that before the season started many had predicted would lose less than ten games.

Evidently they will dispense with the Prestidigitators, and then they will be big underdogs to the Lakers...just like they were two years ago. Likely they will lose...anyone wanna bet against them?

No.
Few people are going to make the Celtics underdogs against anybody, given their current virtually unbeatable form, after so easily disposing of the # 1 and # 2 regular season teams (the Cavs and Orlando).
Remember in 2008, Celtics kept losing all their away matches in the first 2 rounds of their playoffs games. This year, they have won 4 straight away games in their playoffs, against the top 2 teams in the league. That's virtually unheard of. The Lakers are gonna find it really hard to subdue these guys.
