Pick #1:  Boston Celtics Moneyline(-140)


The Celtics have not been to the NBA finals since 2010.  I believe this team is primed to get there and this is the game where the players can start to feel it.  

In my honest opinion I believe the Celtics are better at every position other than the 5.  But Robert Williams is so elite defensively that even that doesn't matter.  Smart, the defensive player of the year, is better than Lowry.  Jaylen Brown an all star snub, has that sauce.  He's better than Strus.  Tatum over Butler.  Al over pj because he is more versatile offensively.  I really like this Celtics team and you can tell just by watching that the Celtics got more ballers then the Heat do.  

Not to mention all of the injury concern with the Heat, you don't even know who will play.  Herro missed last game, Jimmy has a knee issue that could take him off the court at any point, and Lowry is coming back from an injury so who knows if he can hold up.  We just need Udoka to not give Derrick White 41 minutes!

Celtics in 6!
