Breaking news:Ex-Laker, NBA Champion Says Celtics’ Playoff Road Will Be ‘Cake Walk
The Boston Celtics have advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Teams that would normally join them, such as the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat, will not. Former Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young believes the Celtics will have an easy path to the NBA Finals. On May 2, Young wrote on his X account that Boston will have a “cake walk” to the NBA Finals.
The Celtics’ next opponent will either be the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Orlando Magic. The Cavaliers have not won a playoff series since their last year with LeBron James in 2018, and the Magic have not won a playoff series since their days with Dwight Howard back in 2010. Needless to say, neither team is that experienced.
If they beat either of those teams, their next opponent would either be the Indiana Pacers, who just won their first series since 2014, or the New York Knicks, who haven’t been to the Eastern Conference Finals since 1999.
