7 Roadies to go, potentially
Man, I guess I'm the resident Celts apologist, somehow!
I simply do not believe Boston will be beat at home by Cleveland.
It's a different year - Home Teams have dominated even MORE than usual.
Bosox won WS after being down to NYY 0-3
It a much more feasible for an NBA Team to go thru the Playoffs without winning a Road Game and win the Title...unlikely, but, stranger things have happened.
I thought Boston's LARGE, significant weaknesses were brought to light by Atlanta - and this Cleveland series is even MORE enlightening to these issues when teams go small - Boston cannot counter with any 3Gaurd lineups that will match up with 2 ONE'S or three younger G's....
Boston is BIG, OLD, SLOW and have ZERO PG Depth....since Casselll is just can't keep up with EITHER of the Guards he would face in Eastern Finals, and Paul / Parker / Williams would run circles arounf him in Finals....only match-up Boston may be well served by is LAL!....
Rondo cannot play all min of every game...
Starting to really wonder HOW on earth Boston went 25-5 vs WEST!
ALL THAT SAID - I still conceder them the FAV until someone can go into Garden and win ONE game.
