Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2201807, member: 1026"] Celtics have beat the Cavs a few times over the past two years, but I'm not contending they are in this series or the Cavs overall stratosphere. Celts can match LeBron as well as anyone (not well, but Crowder is strong enough and now JaylenB quick enough) and Avery Bradley can hang with Kyrie especially when you sprinkle in MSmart to wear Kyrie down. And Love isn't a bad matchup for Horford. So really the only problem is a big one - literally with Tristan Thompson and figuratively that any of the Cavs big 3 would be at least the 2nd best player on the Celtics. I'm expecting a competitive game tonight and think the Celtics will have a chance late if they execute near perfect down the stretch. But realistically at this point I think we should all root for 4 games sweeps in both conferences to force the NBA to move-up the inevitable Cavs-Warriors III. [/QUOTE]
