THIS. Celtics are just too young for Lebron. I just hope Kyrie is healthy. Kyrie is just not afraid of THE moment. Hope the Celtics prove me wrong tho. Cavs in 5.

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.

Basketball is a cool sport, I would recommend checking it out sometime.

Maybe new York will even get a team some year :lol:

Cleveland is basically Philly if they lost Joel Embiid and Simmons improved dramatically in every way overnight. The Celtics gameplan vs Philly worked because you, literally, DO NOT HAVE TO GUARD Ben Simmons. If he had even a modicum of a jumpshot, that series would have been very different.

Gut says Cleveland in 6 but I wouldn't be surprised with ANY outcome.

Cavs in 5.

Expect all the games to be close tho. Maybe one blowout.

Celtics in 6 or 7. Doubt we can slow LeBron down but hopefully we can give the rest of them fits. This’ll be a fun one.

Looking forward to how Stevens will fare against Playoff Lue

Love stretching the floor and LeBron's drives have given the Celtics problems in the past.

Last year the Cavs put up a 128.4 ORTG against the Celtics.

Love: 22.6 ppg on 68.8% TS
LeBron: 29.6 ppg on 64.6% TS
Kyrie: 25.8 ppg on 76.3% TS
JR: 7.0 ppg on 70.7% TS
Tristan: 11.6 ppg on 77.3% TS

Those numbers are absurd. But the Celtics' defense is better this year and the Cavs' offense will be weaker without Kyrie, so it'll be a much close record matchup for sure.

Cavs in 6. Can’t see Lebron losing to a team with no hall of famers on it.

That long break means Lebron will come out guns blazing in game 3. That’s almost a sure fire win.

Series will come down to whether Boston can hold serve at home in game 1 and 2.

I’ll take LeBron in 6. Two blowouts by both teams along with 4 even games that LeBron does LeBron things in. Need those All-Star vets in this series. Stevens will coach circles around Lue I just don’t see it being enough. It’s all house money. Shock the world C’s!

BOS in 6 - but I don't think the league office wants BOS to be in the finals due to no star players

Holy ****. We got murdered by the big 3. It’s a miracle that we were able to steal a game.

Bolded is definitely true. But they probably didn’t want them to win the Philly series for the same reason and it still happened.

I think the Cavs young guys like Clarkson, Hood and Nance May be called upon in this game just cause the older Cleveland vets may struggle against the athletic youth of the Celetics.
