agreed -- the C's will beat Bron's ass so bad in game 3 it'll count twice and end the series   ;D

Cleveland has by far the best player in the series and I think most non-Celtic fans would also argue Cleveland has the 2nd best player in the series.  Cleveland won the season series 3-1.  Cleveland has had a cakewalk and lots of rest.  Cleveland has won the East the last two seasons and is the defending NBA champion. 

I wouldn't be surprised if Boston was swept, but do expect them to win a game or two.
You think Love is better than Thomas?

That's not a crazy opinion, considering the Raptors got so convincingly swept.

I think the Celts will win one of their home games and that's probably it.

As long as they are reasonably competitive in a couple other games, I'll be fine with it.

You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

At this point I don't think you'd find too many people with reasonable knowledge of the NBA outside of Cleveland who would make a serious argument for Kyrie over Thomas.

Brian Windhorst, sure, but let's restrict our survey to people whose career isn't based on LeBron James.

Kyrie is a great one on one player but Thomas has surpassed him.

The Cavs have the talent to sweep, but we've got the grittiness to win a couple of games.

Has any team won 12 in a row to start the playoffs? I can't see it.

They started 11-0, then lost Game 1 of the Finals.

I am still very optimistic about this team and our chances.  I don't know if we will beat cleveland or GS but wouldn't surprise me if we take one series.  2 would be shocking the world.  I wouldn't be shocked.

I thought we'd get this far this year.  Everything else is just icing.  We are here.  Wouldn't shock me.

BEating  both Cleveland and Gs is going to be one hell of an accomplishment if it happens I'll say that.

I've always felt this team is better in reality than the sum of its parts though.  Just the talent and how we play.

I'm usually in the minority on that.  I feel like this team is much more than what people envision.  They rarely disapoint me that way like what Bill Russell said to KG.  Youa re my favorite player to watch. You haven't disapointed me yet.  The celtics are that to me.

Dunc'd on might be.  He might get Dunc'd on .....

Probably so, thanks to their expert use of a Kawhi voodoo doll.

I think Lebron has moved past that. The last two Finals have shown his mental toughness.
