Going there up 2-0. This could very well have been 1-1 or even 0-2.

After watching game 2, I'm almost believing it would be great to come back with all our players healthy, no matter the resutl.

Now seing the ways celtics played, with focus, calm and guts, I think we could hope for one win and having a 3-1 lead into the fifth game.

What do you guys think ?

I expect the home team to win every game in this series.

I would love to come home 3-1. But honestly, I'm expecting the series to be tied 2-2, with one of those games ending with at least a 15pt lead for the Wiz

I expect us to win a game, not sure which one. Brad still seems to be tinkering to find the best way to neutralise their starters. I think he'll figure that out in one of these games and then I don't think Washington stand a chance

Celtics are 2-0 while not playing well on defense.
I expect they'll find themselves on the defensive end and steal 1 in Washington.
Celtics in 5. Washington are two weak defensively. I don't see how they can outscore us 4 times.

Expect? They probably take both. I hope that we steal one, though, because that would likely be the end of the series.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

I expect Boston to take one game in Washington, I will not be surprised if the Cs sweep them. Boston has shown that they are better than Washington. How else do you explain spotting them 16 pts in game one and 12 pts in game 2 and Boston still winning?

They are going to get physical and chippy maybe even dirty so the Celtics should be ready.

I expect them to win 1 of the 2 games.

Game 3 is make or break for Washington. They NEED that one. If the C's win game 3, they would basically break Washington's back.

the wiz  players and coarch both appear to have had their spirit broken somewhat .

thtas a bad place to be in.

Boston should win one game.

I somewhat agree with the spirit is broken but not just yet. We come out and play well in game 3 like we did in the game against Chicago then we can really break their spirit and get this thing over with. Would love to steal game 3!

We lose next one -20, but we take the 4th and destroy them at home in 5th.

Not sure what to expect, but really hope they can win one there.
As far as Washington's spirit being broke, you only have to look back at the last series. Celtic got blown out the first 2 games, at home no less, and came back.
I'm pretty sure the Wiz know they can play with the Celtics. This series is far from over.
Steal one there, and I'd feel pretty, pretty good.

Can you imagine what the expectations would be if the Celts go into a Cleveland series on an 8 game winning streak?  Brad Stevens with a shiny new .500 career playoff record?

Hoping for a split.  A game 3 win is going to be super tough.
