Celtics in 4, maybe 5.
Cavs won’t be able to score enough, have a tiny backcourt, and their wings will get wrecked.
Mobley is awesome defensively, but he’s not ready for this lol.

Boston in 5... Cavs only win game 3.. and only because the League will force a victory. BUT every single
game should be a Dog fight. I just don't feel they have enough Fire power to keep up.

Unless Mitchell scores 70 with 40/50/90%, we’ll beat them every game.

Is this real?
Banchero has a rare condition that enables him to lose 7 pounds of sweat each game, which leads him to experience cramps and stunt his in-game performance.

I think that we beat them in 5, or less.

I'm picking 6 assuming no KP, Mitchell goes off several times, and Tatum continues to be just really really good.

Not only did Cavs tank to avoid the 7th seed, but also put themselves into our bracket. Fans now chanting they want Celtics....
Let's see how that works out for them

Re: Around the NBA (and other Sports), 2023-24, Part 3
I missed the third quarter and came back at the beginning of the 4th, didn't see that coming. I guess young teams are going to be young teams. Of course earlier when I said Cle was melting down and Mobley was overhyped coming into the league... someone must have hacked my account. I'd never make takes that look that poor that quickly.

Let's finish the Cavs in 7, not any longer than that.

Some team should try to get Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert on the same roster. With Mitchell's offense and Gobert's defense, imagine how good they'd be.

Cleveland worries me more than Orlando with Garland/Mitchell. I feel like Orlando's offense could be completely neutralized.

Both offenses are quite poor. Mitchell, despite his last two games hasn’t really ever been known as a prime playoff performer. I just also don’t think Cleveland will scrap as hard as Orlando, who just constantly has wet dreams about beating us.
Biggest worry is Caris LaVert turning into Jordan. I fully expect one of these first two games could be a let down if we decide we don’t want to close out on shooters again, though.

at 27.7 ppg, Mitchell has the 8th highest playoff scoring average in NBA history

in 2020, Mitchell scored the 3rd most points ever in a playoff game

The Cavs are not the hospital Heat. If Allen is back the Cavs are going to be tougher to take out.
