Prediction 

This is a tough series to make a prediction for. Both teams are evenly matched in my opinion. The Celtics might be slightly better on defense than Miami, but there’s a reason why the Heat are in this position. My gut feeling says that the Celtics will win this series in 6 or 7 games.

This year’s Eastern Conference Finals are going to be eclectic for sure. A lot is on the line for both teams. Miami wants to get back to the Finals for another chance at a title, and Boston is ready to get over the hump of losing three straight ECFs.

Who do you think wins this series, and do you think they can win it all?

Celtics is 6 or 7 games
