After a bit of well-earned rest in the wake of their first round dismantling of the Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics know their second round opponent: the Cleveland Cavaliers, fresh off their first playoff series win since LeBron James left town for the second time. With a record of 48-34, the Cavaliers earned the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference and battled their way through an ugly seven-round series against the Orlando Magic. Now they get their crack at the league’s best team.
It’s not a matchup that necessarily forecasts a lot of drama.
