Charles Barkley reveals who Celtics should want to play in 2nd round of NBA playoffs

After taking care of the Miami Heat in five games during the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Boston Celtics are currently playing the waiting game.

Boston will play either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Orlando Magic in the next round, but both teams are still locked in their first-round matchup — with the Cavs holding a 3-2 series edge going into Game 6 in Orlando on Friday night.

Even with Kristaps Porzingis on the mend due to a calf injury, the Celtics should be tabbed as the favorites against either Cleveland or Orlando in the next round.
