So if you had to put a number on our chances...

[droopdog7]

to be the Cavs, what would it be?  Obviously, anything above 50% means you are favoring the Celts.

I am thinking about 25% but admit that that may be high.

[incoherent]

75% chance we win. Lebron can win this series himself but likely won't happen, not with KG on the floor.

[PosImpos]

20%

[FallGuy]

40%. I think it's closer than the common wisdom suggests. And while I expect the Cavs to win (and cause me to tear my hair out along the way) I wouldn't be completely shocked if the C's pulled it off. Especially given LBJ's arm problems.

[GreenFaith1819]

I give us 55%. I really love the Opportunity we have here.

We are probably the Healthiest Team in the field that is left.

Lebron is banged up. Shaq is still trying to get into game shape. Just the right Window of Opportunity to Strike! I personally wish we played earlier than Saturday.

Like PosImPos (I believe) mentioned in a different thread, either CLE blows us away in 4 or 5 games or we give them much trouble for next two weeks.

I chose the Latter.

[jdpapa3]

20%

Same. Would be 50 if we had the home court advantage.

Not sure I said that, but it sounds accurate.  It's possible the Celtics lose a tough game 1 and then get kinda shell-shocked in game 2, losing by a bunch.  Then, down 2-0, it'd be rough from there.  We take game 3 but then lose game 4 to set up a series ending game 5 in Cleveland.

That's one scenario.

Or, the Celtics trade games with the Cavs and take 2-3 games along the way, setting up an epic game 7 in the Quicken Loans Arena.  

We'll see.

[CelticSooner]

40%

I think it will go 7. Homecourt favors the Cavs.

[nickagneta]

Chances are 50-50 because either we will win or we won't.

[Neurotic Guy]

We have about a 12.3% chance.

[Spilling Green Dye]

20%

Same. Would be 50 if we had the home court advantage.

Careful, the Celtics have proven to be one of the best road teams in the league this season, so I don't think it's a 30% swing.


Personally I give them a 45% chance.  If the Celtics had homecourt I'd say about 53% lol.

[Redz]

Chances are 50-50 because either we will win or we won't.

but it's 100% that it will be one or the other 

[houseonfire09]

I'd say 40%, but get back to me after games 1 and 2.  I have no clue right now.

[Roy Hobbs]

If we give a consistent, focused, and energetic effort, I say we've got a 60% chance.

Overall, I'd say about a 30% chance, weighing everything.  Yet, strangely, I fully expect them to win (which, of course, is a massive contradiction.)

Strangely, I feel the same way.  Anything less than a title would be disappointing.  I guess that's what Celtics Pride is all about, though.
