 Prediction

I hope I’m not going heart over head, but I like the Boston Celtics chances in this series. I love the storyline of getting through LeBron to make the Finals over all odds. LeBron left Cleveland back in 2010 after a loss in Boston, I think history repeats itself 8 years later.

Indiana drove the Cavs to seven games. Toronto got swept, but Game 1 all but decided the series. The Celtics are the better than the Pacers. A Brad Stevens run team isn’t going to choke mentally in the playoffs like Toronto.

LeBron is going to have an epic series. It’s not going to be easy, the Celtics will have to claw and fight if they want to break an 8 year run of dominance.

I believe in this team. I believe in the best fans in the world carrying a team to victory. I believe that no matter how young or injured or doubted the Celtics are, they are an NBA Finals worthy team.

Get ready, this about to be a wild couple of weeks.

Boston Celtics in 7. June here we come. The story will continue.
