I would not conclude early because Boston also have weakness, but I feel the cavaliers are more deserving to face them as they have big lineup to give Boston some problem in the paint. Mitchell has been carrying a heavy load but just one game, win it and they'll get to the next level. So far in this series, either teams win their home teams so I would not deviate on that trend, instead I will just follow where the money is.
Boston only weakness is their choke potential when facing strong contender. Right now, No team in the east can give them that much pressure since all of the team that has a solid roster like Bucks and 76ers are already eliminated due to the absence of star players.
Current Boston with Porzingis as center feels like hell to beat by team like Cavs that only relying to Mitchell. I doubt that he can keep up against the pressure which the Boston players can give against them.
Boston may choke again in the NBA finals but not on any matches within EC.
True. Miami without Butler, Bucks without Giannis and Philly are all eliminated in the first round. The current remaining teams are a little inexperienced and Boston should be able to handle them. I expect Boston to win 4-0 or 4-1 against the Cavs.
I can smell Boston heading back to the finals once again. For now, I am rooting for Denver because the team has the championship experience and has a great line up. But if Denver lose to Minnesota then I think Boston gets their long awaited title this season.
