Poll: Pacers vs. Celtics Series Predictions

[celticinorlando]

T. J. McConnell is who I'm worried about.

I’m bringing PP in to deal with him.

[Phantom255x]

Don't get me wrong, Tatum has had a great postseason overall and his last 3 games in particular were awesome. But he hasn't really had that "signature" game yet. I feel it this series, the Pacers are a good matchup for him and I think he goes off 1 or 2 games (like 40+ points, maybe 1 game with 45-50+)

C’s in 5! Pacers win game 2, we win the rest

[SparzWizard]

I’m worried about Neismith and his “revenge” mentality. He better not injure one of our guys!

He's Bam Adebayo but the small forward version

Obviously.

[Who]

I don't understand what this size is that Indiana have.

M Turner is a perimeter big like Al Hoford. Their backup centers are garbage men like Kornet or Queta. Tillman is the best of the garbage men on either team.

Their big forward Siakam is the same size as Tatum. He is an inferior defender, interior help defender, and rebound versus Tatum. He has struggled historically against the Celtics. Against Tatum or Jaylen. Unable to cope with either one of them. Both have more refined games and outplay him.

Toppin? Is that it?

They have a backup PF in Toppin and we don't have one. We go smaller with Hauser and play Tatum or Jaylen at PF most of the time. Sometimes maybe a double big with Horford at PF alongside a garbage man big.

So is that it? Are we supposed to be scared of Toppin?

I like the Celtics in this series, in probably 6 maybe even 7. Pacers are an actual healthy good team. Much better then anything we have played thus far.

And Boston is much better than anyone the pacers have played.

Pacers have been very fortunate also with Giannis, dame, most of the Knicks being out when they played them.

Most of their guys are 6'5" or taller, including Haliburton. Siakam 6'8", Isaiah Jackson 6'9", etc. Yes they have some smaller guys like McConnell but overall they have pretty good size on the roster.

Obviously. Didn’t suggest otherwise. I’ll be surprised if the Celtics don’t play with their food a little and the pacers get hot in multiple games. Probably should be a cakewalk, but I predict it won’t be.

Celtics in 5.

Win games 1, 2, 4 and 5

Who voted pacers in 6???

game 2? are you crazy?

Probably right. Boston knows no other way unfortunately

i am not predicting anything

boston is a bi polar team

could sweep in 4 or could go 7

just no tellin with this group based on past history

heck why not C's in 5 again for a third series in a row? 

[tonydelk]

If the Cs win 1 and 2 it will be done in 5.  If they lose game 2 it will go 7.  This game will come down to the Cs D.  If they are locked in they will win by 10.  It's their lapses and letdowns that worry me.  Indy has a great offense.  Better then either team the cs have played.  Their D on the other hand isn't great and if the Cs move the ball they can beat thos team every game.

[keevsnick]

The Pacers have no chance of guarding the Celtics effectively. They'll get one win from shooting variance, but I think overall Boston will control the series.

Celtics in 5.

I would be absolutely shocked if this was anymore than a 6 game series.
