Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable..

I expect we see the Magic who will prove a better challenge than the Hawks.

Injuries are really the story of the Magic's season, but they've shown they can put together strong performances and stretches.

For whatever reason they also seem to give us some issues - 4-6 in the last 10 games.

I don't have concerns about the series, but hopefully their scrappy and competitive streak conditions this team well ahead of a likely round 2 matchup against the Knicks.

I hope we face Atlanta, New York and Milwaukee. Isn't going to happen, but I can wish. We will probably face Orlando, Detroit and Cleveland.

I just want another title. DO IT, however it takes, whatever it takes.

Game is scheduled for Sunday, April 20, per NBA PR. Time and opponent are TBD.

As always, I don't care who the Celtics face in the playoffs. If you are champions then you beat whoever is in front of you. That said, I wouldn't mind playing the Knicks just for the pure entertainment value.

Agreed. We play whoever we play.

Which one? There’s like 87 Jrue brothers in the league.

It will be Orlando. Celtics in 5.

I think Trae goes off with a primetime game and we see the Hawks on Easter Sunday.... Hawks will compete like the Pacers did against the C's, still expecting a gentleman's sweep. C's in 5 as the three ball goes ice cold for a game

I have this bad nagging feeling that this will go 5 and that one of our 4 wins might go down to the last shot.

Believable. If it’s Orlando, banchero will play well against us. Luckily they can’t shoot worth a **** this year.

Everyone practiced and JB wasn’t limited, per Mazzulla. So that’s good.

The only bad thing is we still haven’t repeated as champs yet. What are we waiting for?
