Eastern Conference Finals: (2)Boston Celtics vs. (4)Cleveland Cavaliers

No, we don’t get that Celtics-Raptors matchup that people were waiting for back in February.

Instead we get Lebron vs Brad Stevens in a battle of the best 2 coaches in the league. If only Danny Ainge could still play, then we’d get a matchup of the 2 best GMs facing off between Ainge and Lebron.

Hopefully it’s more competitive than last year. Sucks that Kyrie is out.

Celtics in 6.

They’ve played good defense in these playoffs and the Cavs aren’t gonna win by playing 1 on 5

I'm not gonna be foolish again and predict another EC LeBron series to go to 6 games.

Cavs in 4.

Won't be surprised if Rozier gets the IT treatment and trapped to test him.

Like I said, nobody in the East is touching LeBron. Great run by the Celtics, but they getting swept in this one. LeBron's deal with the devil is still intact.

Cavs over Celtics 4-0

I'll bite, Boston in 7.

Not fooled into the Cavs hype courtesy of the sweep against those frauds from Canada, still thinking about the Cavs opening round series against Indy. Boston's defense is on a whole other level from every other team in the East. Expecting a 2015 Finals strategy from Stevens where Boston lets LeBron drop 50 or so and they shut down everyone else. CLE doesn't have a Kyrie-level player anymore to keep them in games against that type of strategy. LeBron will feast enough to make the series go the limit but I like Boston's well-rounded offense against Cleveland's suspect defense combined with the defensive strategy I think Stevens will employ.
