Game 1- Cavs first game that actually matters in about 2 weeks. Celtics come out swinging and end up winning. Crowder vs. LBJ is the matchup to watch in the series. Celtics 96 Cavs 91. ESPN talks about the Cavs and the question marks on their team the next 72 hours.
Game 2- Lebron takes over and completely destroys the Celtics. Superior talent and Lebron's rage give the Cavs the edge. Final: Cavs 108 Celts 90
Game 3- The Garden will be absolutely rockin'. IT goes off for 27 pts off the bench but the game is still very close. Celts 97 Cavs 94
Game 4,5,6- Celts lose game 4 and 5. Celts come back game 6, still have nothing to lose and win decisively 93-80
Game 7- Steven's brings out all his tricks for these ones. Crowder and Bass shut down LBJ at home. Smart and Bradley are able to neutralize Kyrie. Blatt isn't ready for the Big show and the Celts win 99-95
Keys to the Series:
Fearless mentality: The Celtics truly have nothing t lose and they must have this mindset all series long.
Blatt has never coached an NBA playoff game. Can he keep his composure if the Celts steal one game at home or will Stevens expose his coaching deficiencies
Holding the Cavs to under 100 points. The celts record this year when surrendering over 100 points is not pretty. In order to give themselves a chance they must play tenacious D.
PS- I am obviously an optimist and it will probably take a miracle to defeat LeBron. But it wouldn't be the first time Brad shocked the world.
