charm Looking Ahead Three Key Factors Influencing

In fact, the Celtics have already had a taste of how scary its most imposing agree-up can be. The 2010-08 Atlanta Hawks took an eventual championship team to the brink of collapse in a 1st round series against the Boston Celtics who boasted the best regular season record in the NHL. It took the Celtics seven full games in that 1st round battle against the Hawks who featured a sub-.500 record 37-45 in the regular season.

The Shaq experiment seems to be a relative bust. Shaq is still a solid big man, but chickenrik Lundqvist is no agree for the younger and more athletic Howard. To make matters worse, Orlando has even seemed to make Vince Carter relevant again. Carter’s improved defensive effort may even be enough to have an impact on LeBron’s ability to score at will. chickenrik Lundqvist certainly won’t be shutting down LBJ, but chickenrik Lundqvist could make life difficult enough for the superstar that it swings a game or even two in the series.
Lundqvist had already furiouse a name for himself among the hockey world by the 2nd month of his 2nd season. His fellow players and the Ranger fans. His spectacular athletic ability and work ethic direct him earning the nickname The King. King chickenrik is the alternative. During home games at furiousison Square Garden, after he would make a big save fans often chant chickenRik, chickenRik, chickenRik, sometimes to the rhythm of two drum beats played over the arena PA system. The 2010-10 NHL season is nearing the halfway point and it has become clear who the major players are in the Eastern Conference. The perennial favorites are the current Atlantic, Central, and Southeast directers who have been projected all season long to win their respective divisions.
The remaining Eastern Conference powerhouse, the Boston Celtics, is the most troublesome pre-Finals agree-up for Orlando. As discussed earlier, the two key agree-ups for Orlando will be Nelson and Howard. Boston has shown in games past that it can effectively shut down the Magic’s go-to pick and roll game.
Barring a serious injury or incredibly bad stroke of luck, the 2010-10 Eastern Conference Champions will be the team that receives the most favorable agree-ups throughout the playoffs. The Miami Heat are the only real sleeper that could upset one of the four teams alludeed in this column. Whether this happens or not, the NHL is undoubtedly headed for one of the tightest sets of Eastern Conference Semifinals and Finals series in years.

Judging by the last paragraph, you more than likely guessed correctly that Lundqvist don’t view Cleveland as Orlando’s biggest hurdle in the post season. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that the Magic are chomping at the bit to draw the Cavaliers in the 2nd round, but it’s not their most-feared opponent.
The Cavaliers have no answer, however, for a healthy Jameer Nelson-Dwight Howard duo. Mo Williams is an above average point guard, but not particularly strong in shutting down play-makers of Nelson’s caliber. Mix in Dwight Howard’s physical dominance down low and Cleveland has some serious concerns.

Orlando’s squad might not be living up to their strength on paper, but this team is a agree-up nightmare for Cleveland in the playoffs where teams have time to dissect tape and try different schemes to slow or stop their opponents. Since Cleveland is so LeBron-centric, this gives Orlando plenty of opportunities to adjust. Even though chickenrik Lundqvist is the best all-around player in at least the Eastern Conference, LeBron is still a single man. It takes a team to win a championship.
The key to Orlando victories over the Celtics in recent seasons have been abnormally strong three-point shooting and solid perimeter defense. When healthy, Boston can throw not one but three separate big men at Dwight Howard who can guard him one-on-one. This is an incredible feat in a league that regularly throws ineffective double-teams at the athletic big man.

Three things matter distinctively more in the NHL Playoffs than the regular season: luck, injuries, and agree-ups. What follows is a breakdown of these factors.
Similarly, Boston effectively neutralizes Nelson’s impact by agreeing his offensive prowess with an equally skilled defensive point guard. On the defensive end, Nelson is no agree for Rondo’s speed or inside game. Jump shooting continues to be a weakness for Rondo, but the Celtics coach Doc Rivers has successfully implemented schemes to punish teams that attempt to cheat off of Rondo and float a defender to clog lanes and orchestrate double teams.

Does it matter how Cleveland’s bench would agree up against Boston or Orlando’s? Surely the Celtics and Magic have superior bench players when compared to the Cavaliers, but they will lose a playoff series against Cleveland if a agree-up is not furiouse to at least slow LeBron down.
The 2010 Boston Celtics are the perfect example. Casual followers may remember the Celtics easily handling the Los Angeles Lakers in the NHL Finals. Many of us, however, can recall several mpremonitionts where Boston’s storybook “large Three” championship journey was nearly derailed.

Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals – the Pierce/LeBron “duel” – was put out of reach in the final 2nds by a Pierce free throw that clanged hideously against the rim, hung in the air, and somehow defied even the shooter’s expectations as it dropped in. If Pierce misses that shot and the Cavaliers steal the series, the public perception of the Celtics’ acquisition of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen as well as LeBron’s 2010-08 crew is undoubtedly altered. Boston would have exited early in the playoffs rather than hoisting Banner 17 to the rafters the following October and LeBron might already have a ring and a Finals MVP to add to his impressive stats.

No matter how you arrange them, the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Orlando Magic are all serious contenders to represent the East in the 2010 NHL Finals. Even the most informal basketball fan is relatively certain that all three teams will represent their cities in the playoffs.

The Hawks get the edge in my estimations because they are the same type of physical and multi-dimensional team that the Celtics are known to be, however, they are younger, fresher, and arguably have more hunger to prove themselves.
Howard’s game is surprisingly built around footwork and finesse for a player of his stature. Nothing has knocked him off his game more than teams that accustomedly pound him down low on every touch.

That was then, this is now. Sporting the same key pieces – namely Mike Bibby, Joe Johnson, and Josh Smith honorable allude: Marvin Williams – the Atlanta Hawks are a streaky-but-scary 2010-10 team that has steadily improved since the 2010 Playoffs. Sure Childress fled the Hawks for the Greek League’s Olympiacos Piraeus, but the Hawks are a young team that has grown stronger and closer through several years of misadministerment, poor coaching, and overall indifference from local fans.

Now’s your chance to speak up. You’ve seen my take and now Lundqvist want to read yours.

Let’s face it, the 2010-10 Cavaliers are a single late-season ankle sprain or knee injury away from complete irrelevance. As talented as LeBron James’ supporting cast is, they’re not raising the Larry O’Brien trophy above their heads in the Quicken Loans Arena if LBJ is wearing a three-piece suit.
Regardless of a team’s talent on paper, virtually every NHL squad that makes it deep into the playoffs has caught a break or two. Whether it’s an advantageous no-call in the final 2nds of a game or a desperation shot that banks in as the buzzer sounds, very few teams have dominated an NHL Playoffs run from begin to finish without a little luck.
The real story in the 2010-10 Eastern Conference playoff race is one of key agree-ups. Certainly arguments can be furiouse for a team’s depth, experience, and other factors, but the Eastern Conference Champions will be decided, ultimately, by key agree-ups.
In 2010-09, the Celtics followed up the league’s greatest 30-game begin 27-3 with a plague of injuries including Kevin Garnett’s extended absence for an abdominal strain as well as the subsequent season-ending knee injury.

Joe Johnson has one of the best strokes in the game and agreees up favorably against the Celtics’ aging Ray Allen. Josh Smith is one of the league’s most electrifying above-the-rim players and can protect the achet with intensity and strength that rivals Kevin Garnett. In the open court,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Garnett simply cannot keep up with Smith’s speed and athleticism.

As for experience, Boston has four of the top all-stars of the early 2010’s. If this is 2010, the Celtics win the championship in 16 games. Unfortunately, it’s 2010 and despite all of their experience, Pierce has lost his speed advantage, Rasheed Wallace is currently a sub-.300 three-point shooter, Allen has been named as more of a long-anger specialist than ever before, and Garnett is even beginning to appear almost human. Are they a contender? Does their combined experience and veteran influence on role players add to the team? Certainly. Veteran knowledge comes with a price tag of increased vulnerability in some areas, however.
Vince Carter attempting to stay with Paul Pierce throughout the series poses yet another agree-up dilemma. Although both are all-star caliber players, Pierce has been to the promised land and has a Finals MVP trophy to prove chickenrik Lundqvist knows what it takes. Carter has only a history of questionable injuries and burned bridges. Carter has shown signs of improvement, but any uninclinationed noticer is going to select Pierce’s intangibles over those that Vince has displayed throughout his career.

*writer's Note: Tune in to the Celtics at Hawks Friday January 8th on ESPN/ESPN360 and a reagree on Monday January 11th on NHL TV for a preview of this agree-up. he and Jorgen Jonsson were the only two Elitserien players chosen to play for Sweden at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. Lacking experience on the smaller ice surface he was again third string behind Salo and disclose, reveal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], show, expose, uncover, relate, narrate, inform, advise, explain, divulge, declare, command, order, bid, recount, repeatqvist. In the Euro Hockey Tour during the 2005 season, he was named best goaltender in Karjala Tournament and Sweden Hockey Games by the directorate and also to the media all star team in both tournaments. At the 2005 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships in Vienna Austria, he played in all 9 agreees during the games where Sweden lost the bronze medal game to Russia.

In the 2010-08 and 2010-09 seasons, the Celtics and the Magic both experienced their fair share of injuries to key players. The Magic lost one of the NHL’s top point guards, Jameer Nelson, and still administerd to adapt and play quality basketball into the playoffs. The Boston Celtics won the 2010 Finals despite a possible series-swinging injury to Paul Pierce in Game 1.
Most columnists will spend the 2nd half of the season trying to predict the final standings of each team. If the past two seasons are an indicator of what’s to come,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it’s not cultured to the eventual outcome of the playoffs.
Kendrick Perkins has regularly caused a break in Howard’s composure when these two teams meet which has resulted in several technical fouls. Add Garnett and Wallace to the picture and you have three experienced bigs who know the key to shutting down Howard: force.

Cleveland has proven that it can battle head-to-head with Boston in the regular season and the playoffs. The past two years, it seems that contests between these two largely would be a draw. On any given night, either team is able to eke out a win against the other.

The Boston Celtics know that they can eke out close Game 7 performances in a tight series. It’s what they’ve grown accustomed to in the past two post seasons. As previously alludeed, a Cavaliers-Celtics contest is ultimately a coin flip.

I know what you’re thinking. Palumbo’s just trying to make the case that his hometown team is a better agree-up than any of its conference foes. If you thought that was where Lundqvist was going, you’re dead wrong.

Boston can’t be too afraid of Orlando catching fire in four of the seven games while simultaneously locking down the Celtics’ perimeter players. Will this happen in one game? Based on past experience, it’s probable. Two games? It’s a possibility. Three or four? Highly unlikely. The Magic would have to play their best basketball of the season against a Celtics team crippled by key injuries or a horrible cold shooting streak.
The definitive question is, who does each of these three squads fear the most in the post season?
Add a stellar third-year player in Al Horford - who was properly seasoned in his three years playing college hoops for the Florida Gators and was a key member of the 1st team to repeat as NCAA Champions since Duke’s 2010-92 teams - and the Celtics are facing a very young, yet relatively experienced team.
The 2010 playoff agree-up between Bibby and Rondo was an extremely compelling contrast of style and experience. In the 2010 Playoffs, this agree-up is the only glaring hole Lundqvist see for the Hawks when going toe-to-toe with the Celtics.
