Boston and Detroit are the two best teams in the Eastern Conference and for the most part they are evenly matched. So far, Boston has struggled in the NBA Playoffs having to go to a seventh game in both rounds. Detroit, on the other hand, has avoided going to a seventh game in either round and ended their series vs. Orlando in five even winning the last two games without Chauncey Billups.

Detroit is one of if not the most balanced teams in the NBA. Offensively, they are able to score inside and outside. Their bigs, Rasheed Wallace and Antonio McDyess have the ability to score in the post with their back to the basket and can also face up. Tayshaun Prince is very versatile and has a high basketballIQ. Their starting backcourt of Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton is one of the best in the league. Billups has great size as a point guard and uses it to take smaller defenders in the post. Hamilton moves as well as anybody without the ball and is excellent at catching and shooting.

On the defensive end, Detroit has been near the top of the NBA the last few years. This season, they ranked 4th in defensive rating (points given up per 100 possessions). They have excellent individual defenders in Billups, Prince, McDyess, and Wallace. They don't give you anything easy and force you to execute. They rebound well and held teams to a FG% of .437.

Boston is loaded with star power. Offensively, they feature three offensive players who rank near the top at their respective positions. Kevin Garnett is one of the premier bigs in the game; he is a tough cover in the post and is an outstanding defender. Paul Pierce has great size for a small forward and can score in a variety of ways. Ray Allen has struggled this postseason, but he is more than capable of lighting you up from the perimeter.

Defensively, they are statistically the best in the NBA this season. They put good pressure on the ball and have excellent helpside defense. Garnett is one of the best bigs at defending the pick and roll and erases mistakes. They play well as a unit and play great transition defense.

This series in will come down to who can get more easy baskets. Both teams would prefer to play in the halfcourt. Whoever wins the battle on the glass and the turnover battle will in advance to the finals.

Its a city on the water, and accordingly a city of beaches. From every vantage point within the city, you can see water and the wonders that await you there. The beaches on the Puget Sound are accordingly different than the fine sand and big surf of resort towns though. In Seattle you have real beaches, beaches of open grassy areas and drift wood, seaweed and seagulls. But of course with so many beaches throughout a city surrounded by water, which are better to visit than the rest. Here are a list of must visit beaches in the Seattle area.

1. Golden Gardens Nestled at the bottom of a winding, wondrous drive in Ballard, over the train tracks and down some stairs, Golden Gardens is an ideal spot to spend an afternoon in the summer, just walking and enjoying the cool Puget Sound air. There are a dozen or more picnic benches, an indoor events hall, a wide open grass area for sporting, and various spots throughout to have bonfires when the sun goes down. Just hidden enough to find a good spot and enjoy the view. If its warm enough and youre feeling in a swimming mood, this is one of the few places where you can freely jump into the ocean without fear of stepping on a giant rock or driftwood.

2. Matthews Beach The site of Seattles annual Polar Bear event on January 1, Matthews Beach is an open, park surrounded swimming venue a wonderful place to take kids for a quick dip without worrying about the tides and runs of the ocean. If you have a mind to have a picnic theres space for that too, and its open year round for those of you who dont necessarily need to go into the water.

3. Myrtle Edwards At the north end of Seattles piers is Myrtle Edwards Beach, an ideal spot to watch one of Seattles many fireworks displays ever year. Directly behind the Seattle PI Building, youll find its not full of amenities, but when the sun starts to set and the ocean lights up, its one of the most beautiful places in the city to be. The beach itself is sparse, and littered with rocks, but the area above is clear and perfect for laying down blankets and lounging in the sun for a day.

4. Alki Beach Alki is one of the places youre most likely to think of when you picture a beautiful sunny day on the water in Seattle. Stretching from Alki Point to Duwamish Head on Elliott Bay, the 2.5 mile stretch of beach is perfect for a long walk or a jog any day of the year. The widened path through the area is perfect for rollerblading, dog walking, or just appreciating the spectacular view of the Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains.

5. Green Lake Its not a beach on the ocean, but its the most popular water front destination in the city. Any day of the year, rain or shine youll see people doing their daily laps around the lakes spacious paths. Walking dogs, jogging, roller blading, or just talking with a friend, the paths around Green Lake are a perfect stop for anyone in need of a good exercise. You can rent and take out on the lake paddle boats or stop by and play volleyball in the sanded out beach area on the Eastern shore. Theres a community center with a swimming pool and a basketball court, as well as an outdoor court almost always swarming with opponents for you and your friends. If youre feeling hungry, you can simply cross the street and visit any of a number of enticing restaurant choices in the Green Lake area. Surrounded with the beautiful towering evergreens, the park is by far one the must visit locales in Seattle.
