Cavs should be favored. I'm a Cs fan, I got us in 6. I expect Cavs role players to struggle against our defense.
Good assessment:

I had MIL,then PHI winning. Both in 5 or so games.

I'm betting, that without the sieve IT, as well as the addition Tatum, BOS pulls it out. I'm done underestimating their talent lol. Rozier is legit

Lemem guess u probably had the Raps destroying the Cavs?

Will be interesting. Celtics have more players that at least can try to defend LeBron.
Tatum. Brown and Morris. Maybe even Smart for stretches.

Oh ya. I remember. When the celtics almost came back from down 20 without Hayward with Tatum playing his first game ever and brown still not 20?

That was after witnessing a mans leg fall off his body.

Cavs prolly win cause nba will give lebron the calls but all things equal this would be a celtics sweep. Hayward and Irving would change everything here.

Pretty sure we shouldn't count the one where our new star player snapped his leg into **** dust 5 minutes into it. The last one was during our worst stretch of ball of the season when Toronto wiped us out and Philly beat us at home in like the same week.

Both teams are extremely different right now. Brown and Tatum are on another level during the playoffs..but Kyrie is not there anymore. Not sure what to expect out of anybody on that Cavs team except LeBron. Thompson and Love are always a bad situation for Horford..but idk. If we win 2 games I'll be pretty happy tbf..if Horford outplays Love I think Boston has a shot here..but that's a big if.
WHAT THEY GON’ SAY NOW? ‎ THANK YOU TRUTH!

Bron gonna goto lim 10 times a game and have about 6 travels not called. Simple.

IF his shot is falling then Cavs win going away but lebron cant shoot for **** for someone considered a all time great.

Or how about the destruction of Boston during the Paul Pierce game?

For as much trash as we talk about Toronto, Cleveland has been every bit as disrespectful towards Boston since LeBron returned.

Cleveland sucks and the player that won them their only championship left that toxic environment because he couldnt handle the ball washing
