    Boston will be at full health and this matchup I think won't even be close. AI is going to need some help to even win a game out of this series.

    Who do you guys think will win the series?

    Considering w/ only Pierce 1/2assing they managed to win IN PHILY, in a game that mattered a lot more to Phily. Yea this is going to be a sweep, and I'm talking about 10+ points in each game.

    Celtics are obviously going to win, but I think Philly might make a few games go down to the wire.

    Overall Celts in 5 or less.

    This match-up isn't decided yet, it can still become Bulls-Celtics ... but if this is the match-up: Celtics win (4-2).

    Crap, I didn't see this....

    But the 76ers have a slim-to-none chance to win in a place where Cleveland is 39-1.

    There is 1/100 chance the Cavs lose to the Sixers AND the Bulls lose to the Raptors. You are safe because it just ain't gonna happen.

    Uh oh! The Cavs will be resting LeBron, Mo Williams, Big Z, Joe Smith and Ben Wallace. The Sixers will win this game if they want it bad enough. Should be a blowout. But I still don't see the Bulls losing to the Raptors.

    People are sleeping on the Celtics because of the KG injury.

    I got the Celtics in 5.

    Aren't the Cav's trying to set the all time record for home wins? Might be a trivial record in the end but an opportunity to set a record like that doesnt come around all the time. Also 4 days till next game (Cav's highly likely to play Sunday) is a lot of rest between games.

    Celtics in 5 or 6 pretty easily. They should be able to dominate this series with a fully healthy team (or a 80-90% KG). The Celtics have great depth, and the Sixers are just too young to win this series.

    Except that Cleveland has publicly stated that the following players will not be playing: LeBron James, Mo Williams, Joe Smith, Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

    Do you still think Philly can't beat the Cleveland back-ups while motivated for that 6th spot?

    Admins, can the thread and the poll be changed to the Bulls instead of the 76ers? Damn the Cavs for resting their starters. :mad:
