And the picks are in...


The ESPN "Expert" picks are in for the Celtics second round series with Philadelphia.   In spite of multiple injuries on the Celtics and none listed for the Sixers, fourteen out of fourteen "experts" pick the Celtics.   Even Chad Ford picks the Celtics to win in 5 and he hardly ever picks the Celtics.   He picked the Hawks in the first round.   None expect a sweep, but 4 of them expect the Sixers to win one game out of the first 4 and then for the Celtics to close it out at home in 5.    Two expect the series to go the distance.    The fan poll on the page shows 70% feel the Celtics will win while 30% pick the Sixers.
