Re: Pick it: Celtics vs Cavs round 2 2024
us in 5 if we play up to our potential, maybe even 4
Good assessment:

No Jarrett and a playing hurt Mitchell should let the Cs sweep this Cavs team.
Cs in 4.

Re: Pick it: Celtics vs Cavs round 2 2024
I'm going to be optimistic and say Celtics in 5.
6 might be a bit more realistic. It feels like Mitchell is going to go super saiyan in at least one of the games, just like he did against the Magic. Then another loss feels somewhat inevitable given our tendency to both let our guard down and run into insane shooting hot streaks from tertiary players (and the Cavs have several guys who could be that guy against us).
A lot of it will come down to how healthy the Cavs are. They're pretty banged up with Allen/Wade injured, if they miss some/most of the series it could be a sweep.
Even without Porzingis, I'm confident we can run away with this series, but I wouldn't want to let the Cavs get a win early because if they get healthy(er) towards the back-end it could get a lot tougher.

Re: Pick it: Celtics vs Cavs round 2 2024
I've got C's in 5, I'm fully confident that we can not show up for at least 1 game and let Cleveland on the board. I'm sure Mitchell will score some points but Jrue and Derrick will make sure it doesn't happen efficiently. The biggest point of emphasis for me would be keeping Mobley off the offensive glass, limit their second chance opportunities.

Poll is missing an option.. Celtics in 3...
But for sake of the Poll, 5..
As I stated before, game 3 will be Boston's 5 vs Cleveland's 8 (the league needs the series extended)

Re: Pick it: Celtics vs Cavs round 2 2024
learning how banged-up the Cavs are makes me rethink my 'Cs in 6' pick, but no take-backs or changes allowed
and maybe I just reverse-jinxed them back to good health?
I'd take a healthy series.

I'm just assuming they'll follow the script for the next series too.
