C's have no business going past 5 games in this series. We defend home-court in Games 1 and 2, lose Game 3, escape Game 4 and close them out in Game 5.

Their front-court and Trae might pose a threat, but we have the deeper team and more talent on our side. Maybe the Hawks' front-court might get our bigs ready for Embiid next round, a good warm-up.

Hawks in 5 got a vote.  Surely that person meant to vote for Celtics in 5, right?

Gut says Cs in 4 or 5 but I don't entirely trust this team's focus. 

They've said all year long that they know what it takes now.  Time to back those words up.  I'll be disappointed if we come out playing to the level of our competition again.

Ditto.

Well there is a Hawks in 6. I guess 2 people aren't confident in the C's  :P

The goal of this series is simply to stay healthy. If the C's show up for business it will be a sweep. If they play bored and dumb it'll go to 6.

Gentlemen's sweep

Inclined to agree.

Yeah I think Trae is a lesser version of Iverson,  I think he gets the hawks one.

Yeah.

Also, somehow the fact that Landry Fields is the GM of the Hawks has eluded me up to this point. That's wild.

I would say there is something like a 5% chance the Hawks win the series.  Young could just go off for 4 games and the Jay's could have a poor shooting series, and the Hawks could win.  I think there is a 0% chance the Hawks win this series in 5 without significant and major injuries to several Celtics and no one can make a prediction based on the possibility that people may get injured.

I think they wear Trae down making him play D but their front court could challenge us.
