First of all, I don't see this series getting dirty. I think this will be a clean series, as the Captains from each team have the same goal, and really don't want to trash-talk...outside of usual on-court babble.

I'm gonna give a few scenarios to how I see this series shaping-up.

#1 Cavs win game one - If the Cavaliers win game #1, then I would give the Cavs a 82% chance of winning the series, and most-likely winning in 6 games.

#2 Boston wins games 1 & 2 - If the Celtics take both of the first two games, I give them a 94% chance of winning the series, and likely in 6 games or less.

#3 If Cavs win game 2, but lose game one, then I give the Cavs a 57% chance of winning the series in six games; If it goes 7, then reverse the percentage +3% for the Celtics.

If the Celtics manage to take the first two games, then I give them a 48% chance of winning game 3, and a 41% chance at a sweep.

If Cleveland takes the first two games in Boston, then I give them a 98% chance of winning the series, and a 62% chance at a sweep.

If The series goes seven games, Boston has the homecourt advantage and a 60% chance at winning the series.

Likely outcome of series:

BOS 4-2 37%
CLE 4-2 33%
BOS 4-3 11%
CLE 4-3 8%
CLE 4-1 4%
BOS 4-0 3%
BOS 4-1 3%
CLE 4-0 1%

^^ so no matter what happens, you're right? Way to nail down a pick.

I'll take Cavs in 6.

Blowing my mind..

So glad Heath is back... Cant wait for 10 more threads new threads that all fall in the same category.

I think that the Cavs are going to close it out in game 6, at home. I don't want it to go back to Boston for a game 7. I think that we need to close this series out at home.

Not much of a math person huh?

Well, based on the statistics that heath provided... Maybe winning game 1 would be the key to winning the series.

Both teams are great and would represent the east in the finals well. I have no idea how this series will play out.

you realize that the "statistics" are just numbers he made up, right?

We were really close to getting Shawn Marion at the deadline according to this predictor..

My predictions for this series are:

Cavs win the series.
Cavs lose the series.



Seriously, if Lebron plays like he did in game 1 again, forget about it. I doubt it though, he'll have a big game next game.

I'd much rather see Lakers vs. Cavs than the Celtics.
