2025 2nd Round Playoffs Predictions.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers

The longer the the Starseries goes, the more I like Indiana's chances. I will pick Cleveland to win, but if it goes 7 then I think Indiana wins. Cleveland's 3 point defense isn't good. I will take them for their overall defense.

Cavs in 5 (1, 2, 3, 5)

Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks

New York can't keep up with Boston's 3s.

Celtics in 4

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Denver Nuggets

I don't like a Thunder team with one offensive All Star. However, Hartenstein might be the 2nd most important player in the series. I will take the Thunder but the longer it goes, the better chance Denver has. I think Jokic is the best player in the series. I don't know what to expect from Murray, Braun, Porter Jr. Maybe Murray gets in foul trouble.

Thunder in 6 (1, 3, 4, 6)

I meant Hartenstein 2nd most important for the Thunder.

Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks

New York can't keep up with Boston's 3s.

Celtics in 4

I don’t pay as much attention to other teams as I could, I don’t predict often, and I do think Boston wins, but I’d say it’s not a sweep. It would not overly surprise me if it is a sweep, but I usually presume one win for every Devon rounder. Yes, I know sweeps exist.
