Prediction Poll: Celtics Vs. Nets 1st Round Series

[Phantom255x]

Heart says Boston in 6. Mind says Brooklyn in 5

[Rikibellevie]

Brooklyn in 6, but with Tatum at 40 points a game and Kemba gaining a little value for a trade, Smart showing again he is a PO player. It would already be a not so depressing way to end the season.

After I still have the feeling (maybe just the hope) something will turn wrong for them, hope it will against C's...

Is Durant ready to guard Tatum all series?

We have some good young defenders.

Center is our worst spot but The Nets don't have a good center.

Fournier is a wildcard!

[PhoSita]

Series will be much like the Celts' first round series against the Sixers last year.

Celts will be competitive at times, but ultimately lose each game by multiple possessions.  Probably a couple total blowouts.

Tatum will average 35+ points.

Fournier is a wildcard!

Fournier is going to have to step up on the scoring end. Tatum won't score 50+ all the time. We'll need him to consistently give us 18-20 PPG+ to go along with Tatum and Kemba. Of course the bench will need to help out as well whatever way they can, but 1 of Fournier/Smart HAS to play like our 3rd best player to have a chance at making this a close 6 or 7 game series.

I’m hoping the C’s can get a win during the series. Probably going to be a sweep, though. Too much fire power on the Nets. Starters need to play 40mpg for the C’s since the bench is so atrocious.

[Roy H.]

The most optimistic I can be is Nets in 6.

[Neurotic Guy]

Brooklyn sweep I think.  I wonder if people think Tatum’s going to be the best player on the court when in fact he may be the fourth. Lot on his shoulders and I hope he shows himself to be a megastar.

Nets may have one game lapse but I think they won’t. 

[nyceltsfan]

Brooklyn in 4 or 5.  One other question - How many games will Smart be called for 5-6 fouls?

[Ogaju]

The Cs will not be swept.

[slamtheking]

Brooklyn in 5.  can't see the C's rolling over for a sweep and if I keep my expectations low, they should be able to meet or exceed my expectations.

[Celtics2021]

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.

[Silas]

The optimist in me says Cs in 7 while the pessimist in me says Nets in 5. 

[RPGenerate]

Boston in 7, baby.

[nickagneta]

Celts shock the NBA...and just about everyone on this board....Celtics in 6.
