I give IND decent odds in round 2, but expect the Knicks in the ECF.

Celtics in 4. They remember blowing that 20 point lead and don’t make that mistake again

I could see the Cavs getting a game. Voted Cs in 5. The only guy I fear is D. Wade . He is like a taller prime Klay Thompson IIRC.

Ill go with Celtics in 5. Donovan Mitchell may win them a game maybe. I could definitely see a sweep though.

that's right, what stood out about the CLE one was it was like a 22pt lead with 8 or 9 minutes left in the game.

Yep that was the one, and there was no Mitchell either. Dean Wade caught fire and hit a billion 3’s down the stretch.

Joe is a seer and savant. He foresaw KP being down in the earlier rounds of the playoffs so he experimented with double big lineups involving Luke earlier on. Gonna pay dividends now.

I see the Celtics winning in 5. -- Cavs might get 1 at Home.

Re: Pick it: Celtics vs Cavs round 2 2024
I think it’ll take this Celtics team 6 games. Mitchell is the most dynamic scorer in this series and with Mobley his defensive liabilities don’t matter …just like in Utah with Gobert. The Celtics without Porzingas will have trouble drawing Mobley out of the paint and at times will live and die by the 3 because finishing at the rim will be very difficult. Of course, Cleveland will be hard pressed to keep up offensively over a 7 game series but they will probably get hot once or twice.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Is Mobley really that impactful on defense? Honest question. Haven’t seen it yet but haven’t followed him/Cavs much.

Same prediction as in round 1: Celtics in 6. Losing one because the Cavs will have an unreal shooting night, and another because we still play with our food.
