Let's see, no one gives a chance.  nice motivation if they needed any.
1 picks a sweep.
2 pick the full 7 games where we lose the final game.
2 pick a 5 game series meaning we can't hold serve on our home court.
5 pick a 6 game series meaning we lose an elimination game on our court.
They're all idiots.

Awesome. I prefer the Celtics as under dogs. (...unless it is insulting, like picking Miami to Beat Boston without a doubt)

Go Celtics!

It should be hanged in the Celtics locker room. That feeling, that you have something to prove, is what motivates players the most. So many people to prove wrong. Can't wait :)

nothing would be sweeter than to see the C's get one of the first 2 games in Cle and watch the collective talking heads scramble to explain how they could have missed that in their predictions.

I could understand picking Cleveland to win the series.

But a sweep? Surely the Celtics are a tougher out than Chicago.

Exactly.  It took the Cavs 5 to beat the Bulls.  It'll take them at least 6 to beat the Celtics.  I feel confident in predicting that if nothing else.

Abott predicted a sweep?  Wow, bold move there.  Cavs in 7 for me.

What were the same expert predictions about the Cs v Heat series?  The Y! experts had the Celtics barely getting by the Heat in 7 games....
Celtics fan for life.

Vegas gives us basically the same odds of winning the series as it gives the Bucks to win 2 out of the next 3 vs the Hawks.
