Celtics + NBA Round 2 Preview / May 6 / 2024 Playoffs

The Celtics finally have a round 2 opponent! Boston will take on the 4th-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round, starting Tuesday night. The Celtics are expecting to be without Kristaps Porzingis for this series, but they should have plenty of options to throw at the Cavs star guards, Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. Cleveland has injury concerns of their own with Jarrett Allen and Celtics-killer Dean Wade. Chuddy and Doug break down the matchup and make their predictions plus take a look around the NBA with a look at every other series going on in the NBA playoffs.  Follow the show on Twitter/X: @ChuddysCorner @KingChuddy @Doug_Outs @_nickpiraino  Check out the show blog at ChuddysCorner.com and leave us a voicemail with your questions and comments about the Celtics, the NBA, or life in general!
