It currently stats 24% think the Celtics will beat the Cavs, that's really high, the Cavs are so much better than the Celtics.

A lot of people just vote for the team they like better. If users were forced to bet their life on it, 95% would say the Cavs. Boston would have lost in the 1st round if Rondo didn't get injured and they squeaked by a very average Wizards team in 7 games. Cavs are 8-0

True, Cavs have a better chance and most probably advance to the Finals, but let's not forget that Boston is n1 seed for a reason.

Also the "if's" works both ways...if Rondo didn't get injured, if IT would not been through that situation, etc...

LOL buddy, the Cavs were coasting through the regular season. They'd be a 60+ win team if they actually bothered to try. Look at how different this team is in the playoffs. Boston is quite possibly the worst #1 seed I've seen over the last decade hands down. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cavs' average margin of victory was 20+ points. If the Raptors can't beat them, what makes you think Boston has a better chance? Remember that the Raptors also swept the season series against Boston and are defensively the much better team, still couldn't stop the Cavs

Yeah they are #1 because Lebron and the Cavs didn't take the season seriously, if not they could of easily had some 15 more wins. Does anybody really believe they are a 51 team like the Raptors?

Every sentence is wrong with this post ha ha. This is realgm where people know more about their sport than other websites. No one is betting their lives on the series even though others are betting money. We do not have some kind of alternative history that you claim. Injuries are part of the game. They shouldn't be used as an excuse. Cavs just won the first game and the series isn't over because LeBron James and the Cavs won the first game and have gone 9 - 0.
