Prediction Poll: Celtics Vs. Nets 1st Round Series

[bopna]

The homer in me wants a monumental upset...Cs in 7

The realistic expectation though is a resounding beat down..4 to 1 by the Nets.

We just do not have the horses to keep up with their Big 3 and their other players can easily start against the Hornets for example and win a series featuring Blake, Jeff Green and Joe Harris.

I doubt even if Tatum could even average 30 points in this series because KD is a great defender...and we need Tatum to ave 45 to even have a shot at winning this thing.

Celtic sweep NY

A sweep would be very surprising.  Yes, the Nets are better, but beating a team four straight times is frankly difficult.

I’m hopeful the Nets come out a little flat and rusty in game 1, allowing us to steal that game, and thus home-court advantage to make it a series.  Having 3 days off instead of 5 could maybe work to our benefit.

Game 1 might be their best chance to take a game this series lol. Maybe hope the Nets are a bit rusty and the C's steal a game at BKN

Nets sweep

[tazzmaniac]

Nets in 5. 

[SHAQATTACK]

Actually they have like 4 all stars three top ten players ,  half the league has glommed on to our hero Irving and KD s team ......so like how much thrill,is that NBA with all the best players on 2-3 teams.

I d be happy and surprised if Celtics can win a game.

[SparzWizard]

C's start series down 0-3, maybe somehow win Games 4 and 5 before losing in six games just like that Knicks series several years ago?

Nah, Brooklyn is too talented. Whoever has the better offense wins and it's the team in black uniforms. Brooklyn in 4.

[Birdman]

Nets won’t break a sweat..nets in 4

[Somebody]

Boston in 6 or 7 if our coach is worth his salt tactically (obviously barring the Nets being unreasonably hot).

Anything better than a Nets sweep will be a pleasant surprise. That team is *deep*, seasoned, and focused.

See its unrealistic expectations like these that make it seem like everyone on the Celtics sucks (brad sucks, ainge sucks, tatum sucks etc etc etc)

You have 3 superstars on the other team along with a better bench while the celtics have guys on long covid and an all-star whos out for the season along with their starting center out yet you expect the celtics to win in 6?

It's all about the kool-aid man!!

Add to the fact that Brooklyn is seeking revenge for that 2013 trade that landed the Celtics Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, total global embarrassment at the time and for several years until KD/Irving/Harden came to town.

[Sketch5]

If Brown wasn't injured I'd give them a shot, but losing his D and scoring hurts alot and Tatum and Walker will have to do too much.

[footey]

Head Bkln in 4/5

Heart Celts in 6/7

I’m all heart.

Celts in 6.

[colincb]

BOS in 6.

One way or the other, it looks like a series of 6 or more games to me.
