2017 Eastern Conference Finals: (1)Boston Celtics vs (2)Cleveland Cavaliers

[areobee401]

Happy to have 4 more C's games to watch. Anything else is a bonus at this point.

Gonna say Cavs in 5. I feel the Celtics will get a win either in Game 2 or 3, but LeBron will shut them down after that. The wear and tear from the Wizards and Bulls series will catch up with the Celtics this round.

X-Factor for the C's, though: Jaylen Brown. I don't have faith Crowder/Smart/Bradley can guard LeBron, but Brown -- even as a kid rookie -- might just be able to step up here and give the Celtics a dimension they'll need to dethrone LeBron in the future. I'm watching him this series to see if Stevens trusts him with that kind of responsibility.

I don't see it being a boring series, even if it's a sweep. I mean the Pacers played them competitively and should have won a game or 2, I don't see why Boston shouldn't do the same. Although the game they should have lost is also when they "flipped the switch", but I expect game to to have lost if rust and sloppy play similar to what we saw from GS to start their first game.

Is Jae Crowder still public enemy #1 like he was the last time they played each other in the playoffs?

I remember he caught a lot of flak from Cavs/Lebron Fans last time around.

IT Highlight vs the Cavs this year. So many traps..... Your going to see a lot of 3 on 2's. And IT has to be quick about what he does.




Now we actually get to see if home court is something the Cavs need or not. Celtics need to weather the storm.

LeBron


And Kyrie

I was wondering if CLE would continue their trapping....seemed to bother IT when the Wiz did it but they don't have the quick hands on the back end to force turnovers. At the same time Boston is a much better passing team than Indy or Toronto.

Who do the C's hide IT on? JR Smith?

Yup. They can both chill near the 3pt line. Bradley on kyrie. Combination of a few on bron I'm guessing.

What was the problem with him? I know he kept pushing people in the back going for boards, but JR or someone finally got mad and caught him with an elbow or something. I don't remember exactly what it was. But all that was 2 years ago I think.
