Mitchell or Banchero should both be good for 1 win.

Celtics in 5 against whichever team comes out. Erik Spoelstra is not walking through that door. Coaching should not be an issue and obviously we are better in everything else..

I'm not stopping until I get a sweep.

Celts in 4 against any of those 2 teams.

It's just sports. No need to take any of it too seriously. Lighten up, guys.

Celtics in 5

Quick turnaround for Cavs if they finish their series in 6. (This also happened to the Heat after their final play-in game.) Obviously, I prefer their series to go 7. Get KP the extra two days.

Give the people what they want.

"The Celtics Would Kick Our Ass." We have one honest person in the video at least.

Opposite of what happened before the playoffs as some Celtic fans were saying "We don't want Miami!" :lol:

So Cavs/Magic are putting together an all star team to attempt to give the Cs some competition. Still Celtics in 5

I prefer the Cavs, for whatever reason the Magic give me the hibijibis. Regardless, Boston wins in five or six.

You guys are probably bored with Derrick's greatness by now, here's another stat anyway: he's made 17/19 shots from within 10 feet of the rim against Miami. Insane efficiency from that range for a guard. (By contrast, Jrue is 6/16.)

Here's Al Horford, same range, against Miami past 3 playoffs series:
2021-22: 10/19 (52.6%) in 6 games
2022-23: 10/15 (66.7%) in 7 games
2023-24: 10/12 (83.3%) in 5 games

Al being a threat inside against mismatches will be such a boon for us while KP is out. Quick seals either in transition or when cross-matches occur. Slips/rolls for easy layups. None of the forced postups where he takes 30 dribbles before he gets into the paint.

Orlando is abysmal on offense. Cavs have the potential at being good on both ends, give me the Magic

Gun to my head I’d rather play the magic. Mitchell can steal a game in a series for sure and Caris LeVert always has at least one game against the Celtics where he’s actually a good basketball player before reverting to being garbage. I think we beat either team in 5 tops

ORL is full of celtics fans, so the home games for them will be hijacked like the philly games were by knicks fans. gimme ORL

At the moment the playoff probabilities report gives the Celtics a 92.1% of winning the next round, with Cleveland having a 76.2% chance of being the opponent.
