Thoughts on Celtics-Cavs

[Greyman]

Being the underdog is in Boston's favour. It might seem like a small thing but I believe that teamwork has to overcome individual talent in this series. The Celtics are not short on talent but you have to give Cleveland the advantage in that area. If they should underestimate the Celtics even a bit and not be right in their approach, the Celtics teamwork will control games.

I like our chances just because we have perimeter defenders and I'm looking forward to this series. The one problem the Wiz gave us, the Cavs don't give us...scoring in the backcourt. I think having to chase Beal and Wall around will help on how they defend Irving. It should be easier with Irving having to battle AB, Rozier and Smart. I think Stevens has saved Jerebko to give him another defender for Bron. I think we'll see Crowder, Brown and Jerebko defend LBJ.

I think Horford and KO can be an advantage for us. Bring Thompson away from the basket.

I think the Celtics can sneak and win game 1. Unfortunately the NBA and it's fans have already determined they want to see the Warriors vs Cavs for the 3rd time. Look for all the calls to go their way beginning in game 3. Cavs in 6

hummmm... Custers battle at " Little Big Horn "  comes to mind.

Game 1 is usually the game that the underdog "steals" when they are coming off a tough series and the "favorite" is coming off a long lay off.  In this case it is different in that usually the favorite has the home court in game 1 so this won't be so much of a steal for the Celtics as they need to win at home to have any chance.

I am having a hard time thinking even past game 1 much less game 2 or beyond.  I think the Celtic's best shot is game 1 and I think the best they can hope for is a split of the first two games.  Beyond that the Cavs will be heavily favored in every game but who knows.  Maybe the Cavs get a little cocky after winning games 2 and 3 to go up 2-1 and the we actually do steal one in Cleveland.  Then all we have to do is win 2 of the next 3.

I see it too and I believe our mojo is rising.
