Is it? The Cavs are a higher seed. That being said this is easy work for the Celtics they will win in 5 games
Gotta hope Mitchell goes berserk.
Jarrett Allen has that rib injury and Porzingis has that calf injury.
If Allen comes back before Porzingis. That could help. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

I wouldn't bet the condo on that. I think it's going to be a 6 maybe 7 game series.
Based on what exactly? The Celtics are battle tested I don’t see anything impressive about the Cavs
In the eyes of the beholder. Based on the Cavs are a better team than some think. They finished the season 48-34, well above 500. They're scrappy. I don't think they'll win the series but I don't think it's going to be a cakewalk for the Beantown crew. Before you bet the condo buy a tent. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Oh wow first playoff win in six years? Well congrats Cavs. And now your reward is the Celtics lol
In other words, first time in the second round since LeBron.
31 years since the Cavs won a series without LeBron. Their last win was against Drazen Petrovic’s Nets. Which is wild since he died not too long after that.

Boston is going to coast to the Finals
A lot of you guys are saying that. I believe Boston will win the series. I don't think it's going to be a cakewalk. We shall see _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Why not Boston? (Not that I disagree, I think the statement could be narrowed to whoever wins Wolves/Denver series will win, barring injury.) _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
They just posed the question:
Is Ant Playing like MJ. Then they juxtaposed video of both guys and kobe and its clear as day how different the league is.

Minnesota apparently tried to trade the Warriors their #1 overall pick (used on Edwards) in exchange for #2 and their own pick from the Wiggins/DLO trade (who went on to be Jonathan Kuminga at #7 next year.) GSW said no. So in a way, GSW passed on Edwards for Wiseman.

IF they are healthy sure.
Especially if it is Denver or Minny.
I haven't watched enough OKC to vouch for them over BOS.
If DAL makes it out of the West and Luka is healthy. I think that BOS isn't even their hardest series of the postseason. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
We always root against trash owner that stopped the pairing of Kobe/cp3
THIS +!100000 (BLEEP) Dan Gilbert
I’m still pissed and forever going to be pissed about it. There’s been so many egregious all star pairings since that debacle that cp3 coming over looks tame. Kobe would’ve had a 6th ring without a doubt in my mind. Oh well.
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert questionable for G2 after 1st child born
Their owner will hire a private plane to get him from Minnesota to Denver in time. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Banchero with 36 points on 9-26 shooting, 15-18 from the line.
He's a baby. He has a long time in the league hopefully. He'll learn. I like him overall.
22yrs old and is already a beast.
He is a future Laker big man.
I'd be way down with that
Him or Edwards should be the aim for the Lakers. Either fo them would be a dream to have. Absolute killers on the court and seemingly have no fear. need that type of atitude to survive the bright lights of LAL

I don't know who I prefer advancing between NY and IND. It just comes down to who I think has a better chance upsetting Boston next round.
I'm leaning towards Indiana. Don't think NY has the size or scoring to keep up with Boston. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
