<h2>
Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The talk of the town is the reckless abandon that the Boston Celtics have played with in this series. Very simply, they don’t seem to acknowledge the fact they are up against the three-time defending Eastern Conference Champion but then again, this team wasn’t given much of a chance in the playoffs all season long. The work of Terry Rozier, Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum, Marcus Morris, and Al Horford continues to leave memorable impressions on all who watch.

Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction 05/19/2018

We saw Boston in this position in their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal match-up against the Milwaukee Bucks. Boston jumped out to a 2-0 lead and Milwaukee came in as a mid-range favorite when they were curating hosting duties in Game Three. The Bucks would thrash the Celtics despite the fact they looked dead in the water in Beantown the game before. History has a funny way of repeating itself. Boston plays at a much lower level on the road, and you can expect King James to take full advantage of that. Swallow the points.
