In the last article, I wrote about my predictions for the seeding of the Eastern Conference Playoffs next season. This time, I will be predicting what I believe the result of each of the first round match-ups will be.
Will the Charlotte Hornets be able to win their first playoff series since 2002? Will a lower seeded team be able to upset one of the Eastern Conference elites? Here’s how I think it will all fold out.
#8 Philadelphia 76ers vs. #1 Boston Celtics
Analysis:
Last year’s first round wasn’t exactly smooth sailing for the Celtics.
