After the Cavaliers’ victory in Game 7 against the Magic, we know the full field for the conference semi-finals. Cleveland will face Boston, the best team in the regular season.
Cavaliers vs Celtics, this is a poster that will bring back some memories.
Fifteen years after the clashes between the Cavs of LeBron James and the Big Three Paul Pierce – Kevin Garnett – Ray Allen, and six years after their last confrontation in the Eastern Conference Finals, the two franchises find themselves in the first round of the 2024 Playoffs.

This time, no LeBron obviously, but a Cleveland team guided by Donovan Mitchell who will try to look the best team in the regular season straight in the eye. The Celtics of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Co. have won 64 games and will be very much favorites in this series, despite the absence of Kristaps Porzingis. On the Cleveland side, we will monitor the state of health of pivot Jarrett Allen, who missed the last matches against Orlando.
Having passed without convincing against the Magic (4-3), JB Bickerstaff’s men will clearly have to raise their level of play if they want to have a chance of surviving against the Boston steamroller. The first match is scheduled for the night of Tuesday to Wednesday (1 a.m.) at TD Garden, it remains to be seen if there will be more than four.
