The Cleveland Cavaliers will be in for a fight against a scrappy Boston Celtics team, and we brought the King James Gospel team together to discuss it.

The Cleveland Cavaliers won the season series against the Boston Celtics 3-1, and they are set to crush this Eastern Conference Finals after sweeping their first two opponents. Game 1 is set for tonight in Boston since they are technically the top seed.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are coming off tens days of rest while the Celtics just finished Game 7 on Monday night, so fatigue might be an issue to start for the C’s. Add that to the red-hot Cavaliers and it is virtually impossible to see the Celtics winning this series.

Last year, the Cavaliers proved that impossible can be done, and it seems ignorant to discount a team before the series even begins. As tip is just under 12 hours away, we took our Game 1 preview and turned it into a roundtable which includes several of our talented writes from our incredible King James Gospel staff.

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at how each of them predicted this series playing out and who the X-factors will be. From an editors perspective, these contributors did a fantastic job chipping in and giving diverse and quality opinions.
