The Celtics battled through a six-game series in the first round and a seven-game series in the second round, while the Cavaliers cruised through their first two series with two sweeps. In the end, they're both in the same place: the Eastern Conference finals.
Boston, fresh off winning the NBA Draft Lottery and the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, will try to become the first team since the 2010 Celtics -- a team that featured Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen -- to beat a LeBron-lead team in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Can they do it? Our experts say no, but they'll have a chance to prove them wrong starting Wednesday night with Game 1.
