the celts best chance to make this a competitive series is for morris to
semi contain LeBron. last year the celts had NO ONE who could guard
LeBron and they had IT the floor who was always weak defensively and
in the playoffs against Cleveland was clearly not himself offensively.
I doubt the celts can win, but i'd be thrilled if they were competitive.

The C's have won every home game in their first two Playoff series. They have home court advantage in this series. They also had the third best regular season road record behind only Houston and Golden State. They can win anywhere.
After sweeping through that choke of a Toronto team it's easy to forget that the Cavs took seven games to beat Indiana winning the last game at home by four measly points.
And don't use last year as a barometer. Cleveland is without Kyrie Irving who averaged 26 ppg against the Cs in the Playoffs last year. And the Cs have only one of their starters from last year starting in this year's Playoffs, Al Horford. Marcus Smart was there but came off the bench. Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier were there but neither had even shadows of the games that they have blossomed into playing this year. Brown averaged 9 ppg and Rozier averaged 5 ppg. And don't forget that the Cs best player last year, Isaiah Thomas, went down early in Game 2 never to return for the rest of the Playoffs. Lastly, the Cs bench this year is vastly improved over last year.
I'd say the Cs have a very good chance of knocking the King and his Court off their thrones.

Interesting....I wish Irving was available.Then I would rethink with Boston indeed having home court and I don't trust much in the New England area in general, but that could be said for other big Northern cities. Hope we see a competitive series.
I doubt that the celts will win this series, but I think they match up better than last years team.
the addition of tatum and morris are important plus the subtraction of an injured IT really helps.
also the cavs don't have irving on their roster this year. so there is a chance this year, but I
really like them next year if everyone gets and stays healthy.
