The Celtics are closing in but does it matter? | Cleveland Business
The Celtics are within one game of the Cavs in the standings but does it really matter? LeBron is 4-0 in getting to the Finals as the 2 seed.
Celtics are back within 1 game of Cavs for No. 1 seed in the East. Remember, Cle has 4 sets of back-to-backs left, so rest could factor in.

The set they have on The Jump is ridiculous…

Thank God for Windy for saying it. LeBron might be the Cavs worst defender on a possession by possession basis.
Irving.
