POLL: How confident do you feel; Cs beat Philly in 2nd round?

[SHAQATTACK]

Honestly, I'm feeling extremely nervous about this series, and am not as confident as I was about the Bucks series (and that was no gimme series either considering our injuries).

My heart says Celtics in 7, but my mind says Sixers in 6

The 6ers are a better team right now, don't see how that's arguable. If both teams continue to play as they have lately, we're going down in 5 or 6.

[Roy H.]

Not at all confident.  They’re healthy, we’re not.

[SCeltic34]

Not very confident, especially with Brown being questionable.  But I'm fine with sitting Brown out the entire series if need be.  His long term health is far more important than winning a few games.  I'm not counting the C's out, but a realistic prediction is Sixers in 6.

Off topic - Ersan Ilyasova confirming what we knew about Heat fans:

Ersan Ilyasova comparing the atmosphere in Miami and the atmosphere the Sixers will face in Boston in the Conference Semifinals: "It's a way different atmosphere. When we were in Miami, it was, the gym was half-empty…. But when you go to Boston, you will feel it. Even in the regular season you know when you play that team, the arena is full and they're really committed fans."

Didn't I hear, not from you, this same thing about The Bucks. Didn't they have more talent too?

Same with Bucks.

Lol - TP, SHAQ .

Celtics in five!

[Kuberski33]

They need Kyrie. Celtics don't have enough scoring.

Celtics in 5, it's #ringszn baby

Yup

Kyrie or no Kyrie, this isn't the year to be scared of Philly in the playoffs. Next year they'll be a very tough out, but this is the first run for all their top guys; a vet team that plays smart will grind them down, make them execute in the half court and gum up their drive and kick game. I think there's a great chance that'll be us.

My feelings on Philly haven't changed. Young talented teams, even ones that turn out to be great, nearly always fall flat on at least the first run or two.  And it usually happens by a smarter, more disciplined team that controls the pace and makes them grind it out in a physical halfcourt game. Still think that can be us.

What has changed - if Brown's not effective or any other top guy goes out, it's gonna be really tough. But if we can get all our current guys up and running I think we probably take them down.

I hope so, but the Sixers are quite a bit better than the Bucks (who we struggled with) and now Jaylen is banged up.

We may get swept , but Smart will leave it all on the court too. 


Remember NBa doesn't like sweeps .  We might get a little back door help.
