Who will give Boston a parade?

The Celtics and Bruins are both immersed in their respective playoff series, with the Bruins leading the Canadiens 3-0 and the Celtics tied 1-1 with the Bulls. But here’s the real question: Who has a better chance at a championship?

The B’s are the top seed in the Eastern Conference and playing with a ton of confidence right now. One more win at the Belle Centre, and Boston will earn a berth in the conference semifinals, a station it hasn’t seen in some time. Not only that, but the Washington Capitals, perhaps the Bruins’ biggest adversary in the conference, are trailing the Rangers two games to one.

Now to the Celtics, who are having a tougher time with the Bulls than anyone could have imagined. Sure, KG is out of the lineup and won’t be back — at least according to Doc Rivers — but Glen “Big Baby” Davis is starting to prove himself, and Kendrick Perkins is more assertive down low than ever. Mikki Moore and Stephon Marbury need to start contributing, and Eddie House will be a key down the stretch in this series.

Still, as much as I’d like to see the Celtics raise banner No. 18, I think it might be The Year of the Bruins, who will party like it’s 1972.
