The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics NEED to collide in the playoffs

Taking down the Cs could announce the Cavs as championship contenders

While they’ve proven to be a really good team, the Cavaliers haven’t yet proven to be a great or even an elite team like the Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, or Celtics. If Cleveland faces Boston during the 2023 Playoffs and takes them down, the Cavs would close the gap between themselves and the “Big 3” contenders in the East, and announce themselves as title contenders.

Although the history books will say that the Cavaliers won the regular season series against the Celtics 3-1, which might indicate total domination by the Cavs, it felt like the series ended in a 2-2 tie because each game came down to the final seconds. Even though it was a regular season series rather than the playoffs, it almost feels like the two teams need to meet for a Game 5

I was in attendance for Round 4 at RMFH on March 6. It was one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever experienced. As the game wore on, the pressure and energy inside the FieldHouse kept increasing until it felt like I was inside a pressure cooker that was ready to explode. As the game got tighter and tighter, I could feel my blood pressure going up and up.

Based on the energy the two teams brought to the regular season series, a playoff meeting would generate fireworks. Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell going head-to-head with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown over seven games would be must watch entertainment.

The two teams would find a way to push each game in the series down to the very last second.
