What are yours?

Marcus Morris will put up a bagel within the first four games.

Celtics in 6

[tarheelsxxiii]

Rozier's defense will win us a game within the final 2 possessions.

Brown will get an inspiring chase-down block on the artist himself, LeBron. 

Horford and Baynes will neutralize Love and Thompson on the boards. 

I will post in a game thread.

Greg Monroe will be a factor in this series.

well, if Semi is ever the leading scorer for us in a game it means Cleveland steamrolled us so bad Brad benched the starters before the second half.

I'd be more surprised if Morris doesn't put up more than 1 donut in the first 4 games

bold predictions:
1. C's in 7 despite playing 8 on 5 the entire 7th game (and likely most of the series).  A lot of the games look like rock fights.
2. Jaylen and Jason play great - national broadcasts start actually mentioning them as a great building block duo for the C's. 
3. Love is held to under 20 point in all but 2 games.  Korver cracks 20 once.  no one else does for the Cavs the entire series.

not if he flukes 7 of 9 from three (summer league style) after they ignore him like he's Tony Allen

LOL, TP .

Jaylen gives the national tv audience his coming out party with great defense on Lebron and leading us in scoring for several games.

This is and actually has been happening, over and over, from multiple various broadcasts and sources everywhere.  Jaylen and Jayson haven't been a "best kept secret" for over a month now.

Yeah, I like this one. If Jaylen is back healthy, which seems to be the case, then he has a great opportunity to have a great series with the mismatches he’ll have.

Bold prediction: we’ll take advantage of Cleveland's weak D and have our best offensive series yet. This is especially true if they start Love at C.  I expect them to go back to TT starting sometime in this series due to us abusing them with Love at C.

If Cs win first two home games; is going to seven.

Cristal ball can’t see beyond that 🧐

Limit Korver, Love and Jr Smith from three and win the series.

Use what the pacers did as the blueprint. Then add a better defensive effort.

Not sure if this is considered "Bold" so to speak, but I predict Tatum has his first 30+ point game ALL season sometime during this series, which would also be a new Celtics record of youngest player to score 30 or more in a playoff game, previously held for an eternal month by Jaylen 

Another bold prediction I'll make is, Horford is going to outplay Love this series with his play on both ends of the court. Usually Love has dominated the match ups, but my gut feeling tells me Horford is going to surprise us all even more this series, like he's done the last few series. Of course, having Baynes partially helps unlike in previous years where we had soft guys like Olynyk, Zeller, Amir.

Brown has an absolutely crazy shooting night and gets 40. Tatum his a mid range fall away jumper to win a game.
