2015 Playoffs: (2) Cleveland vs. (7) Boston

With just a day left in the season, only one first round match-up is set, and it's easily the most lopsided. While Boston is here by virtue of the competition suffering injuries and tanking, Cleveland is one of the three actual title contenders. Yeah.. CAVS IN FOUR

Praying for an upset, but I don't see this going more then 5.

Just let the Celtics win one of the first two games and it's going to be PANIC IN CLEVELAND

sweep

The last time a LeBron-led Cavaliers team faced the Celtics in the Playoffs, he wilted in bizarre fashion. That was a much better Celtics team though, and it's quite possible that LeBron himself had somewhat checked out...or at the very least, hadn't yet matured as a player and leader as he would following the loss in the Finals in 2011. In short, I expect it to be a very different story this time. I kind of want to say Cavs in five as the increase from best of five to best of seven in the first round a little over a decade ago has opened up the opportunity for lower seeds to get a token victory and avoid being swept, but as Lamrock said, it's a pretty lopsided match-up. I'll pick the Cavs to sweep, too.

You know, if you Boston had this team at the start of the season I could have pretty easily seen them winning like 38 games and making the playoffs instead of it being a slow surprise.

20-31 before the break.
19-11 since the break.

So what you're saying Ben... is Cavs in 5?

As much as I want to see the Cavs go down, they should easily sweep the Celtics. This series will be pretty laughable. I doubt the young Celtics will prove me wrong.

Celtics in 6, I mean the Cavs have to be good enough to barely win 2 right?

Cavs in 5 with the one loss a result of JR Smith being JR Smith.

Sweep.

LeBron needs to regain his best player on the planet title.

Besides, who's going to guard him? Turner?

Jae fucking Crowder.

Hoping for the Celts to win once.

Sweet sweepin' for the Cavs

This is so obvious. The Celts didn't even plan to get in the Playoffs. Just happens that the East is too weak. Although, I hope they bring their A game and put up a fight. Don't wanna see all 4 games to be a blowout.

Yeah, JC should guard LBJ

Danny Ainge fucked up. Can't even tank right.
Unless the Celtics have an ass load of picks from other teams through previous trades.

The Celtics are young. Those young legs should do enough for one win in the series. The Cavs in 5.

Id say its going to be a tough 5 games for the Cavs

Game 1 to the Cavs...and some hangtime for LeBron.

What's the count? 5 first round picks in the next 2 years lol

What is fat ass sullinger doing out there? The celtics are full of surprises

Sweep. Cavs in 4.

Sullinger is fat but he's actually a pretty decent player.

Kevin Love!

The sweep does loom, though the Celtics have put up a good fight in the past couple of games.

Sullinger is fat but he's actually a pretty decent player.

Hes been ok. Still time to get off the bust list of 6-7 fat ass who were studs in college

So both the Cavs and Bulls are to sweep their first round opponent?

This would set the stage nicely for the next round.
