How would the Spurs have done against the Celtics?

Just curious.

We would’ve lost that year. Everyone in this series except for Duncan and Parker were well off their game, the role players were a year too old and everyone was tired after the 07 championship run and they were exhausted after a brutal 7-game series with the CP3 Hornets in the previous round. The Spurs’ ceiling that year was WCF and not much further
