The season is gradually coming to a close as all 4 teams from the Eastern Conference have progressed to Round 2 of the Playoffs. Here are predictions for Thursday’s sole match.
On that day, the Toronto Raptors would face the Boston Celtics for the third time in the Round 2 series. The Celtics have made it clear that they are aiming as high as they can this season.
They qualified for Round 2 as far back as August 23, Week 25, after defeating the Philadelphia 76ers in a flawless round and it seems they are going to do the same against the Raptors. But the Raptors are also fighters as they also finished Round 1 early and flawless too, on the same day as the Celtics, as they sent the Brooklyn Nets home.
Round 2 would show us the better team between the two and the Celtics already seem to claim that position. They had beaten the Raptors earlier in August and beaten them in Game 1 of the Round 2 series. They have a stronger team with better drive and determination.
Sadly, that means last year’s champions may not be able to defend their title this year. But the Raptors might pull up a surprise in Thursday’s game, but the chances of that happening are very low, given the fact that the scoreline between the two has not been anywhere near close, with Celtics leading with over 20 points the two times they have met this season.
