Can the Celtics compete w/ LeBron in the East Finals?
  • 6 years ago
This may be the year the Cavaliers-Al Horford jokes end, so says Justin Rowan of FearTheSword. But his prediction will draw some laughs. 

“My heart is telling me Cavs in 5, my gut is telling me it’s a sweep." 

These two teams don't look the way they anticipated to when many predicted Boston and Cleveland to be here before the season, but here they are anyway and the two fanbases will meet head-on as they always do. Brad Stevens is 1-8 vs. Cleveland in the playoffs, but now has a chance to reach his first NBA Finals if he can overcome the hump. 

We discuss the Cavs' read-and-react approach that will challenge the Celts' elite defense, Marcus Morris' past success against LeBron, Justin comparing Jayson Tatum to Tobias Harris preseason and which Tristan Thompson we'll see in this series.

Plus, Justin asks how vital it is for Stevens to actually compete in this series and prove his prediction wrong?
