Not to mention the additions of Jeff Green, Jason Terry, and the continual improvement of Rajon Rondo as well as a LOT more depth than the 2012 season?
Let's not get too caught up in the hype train. Deron Williams and Joe Johnson aren't beating Boston in the playoffs barring a major injury.
You act like boston is unbeatable
, the nets can definitely beat them in a 7 game series, It's possible.
Oh hell no. C's are far from unbeatable, and anything is possible (Game 6 of the ECF this year taught me that
), but I'm extremely skeptical of a core of D-Will and Iso-Joe beating Boston with mostly everyone healthy. Johnson, as the first option on offense for the Hawks this year, was routinely outshined by Josh Smith, and it took Al Horford coming back from the grave just to push the series to 6 games.
The Williams-Rondo matchup would definitely be worth watching, but you're looking at Johnson vs. Bradley (who suffocated him during the R1 series this year), Crash vs. P2, and Brook Lopez vs. KG.
