Celtics earn the praise of the vanquished Cavaliers: ‘Man, they’ve got some dogs’

The Celtics had little trouble dispatching the Heat and the Cavaliers en route to their sixth Eastern Conference finals appearance in eight years.

Each series featured a scare with a loss in Game 2, but the Celtics made the necessary adjustments both times and closed out each series with wins in the final three games.

All of their wins this postseason except for Game 4 of the Cleveland series have been by 10 points or more. They’ve won by an average of 18.5 points.

Now that the series is over, Cleveland’s Marcus Morris, a former Celtic, said he believes they are poised for a deep run.
