Cleveland Cavaliers @ Boston Celtics

I know what you’re thinking: the Atlanta Hawks can play with the Boston Celtics so inherently, the Cleveland Cavaliers can do the same.

I’d be careful with that line of reasoning. The Atlanta Hawks are a very athletic team that is on the rise in the NBA. Granted, their 37-45 record makes you think otherwise, but their length, speed and athleticism gave the Celtics a lot of problems.

Outside of LeBron James, the Cavs don’t have the same type of athleticism.

One thing that concerns Celtics backers is the fact that they were unable to win on the road in the first round. That is a bit misleading. They blew a 10-point lead in Game 4 and got a rough call when Paul Pierce fouled out in Game 6.
