2010 NBA Playoffs Expert Picks: Round 3
The Celtics are on a very improbable mission to win a title. They managed to steal home-court advantage from the Cavs twice en route to eliminating them, and now must deal with the Magic. Five of our experts still think the Celtics can’t summon any magic of their own, though three think they’ll push the series to seven games.
Out west, the Lakers are favored by the same 5/7 ratio, but nobody thinks the series will go beyond six games. With an NBA Finals rematch likely, only Andrew is desperate enough for points to go for the Celtics and Suns. And only Erikk is hoping to beat L.A. again.
As usual, correct series winners earn two points while correct series lengths earn one point. But it’s not over yet. With only one series to guess in the final round, a special surprise is in store for everyone. Before then, check below to see how everyone thinks the 3rd Round will pan out:
