NBA Playoffs 2015, Cavaliers vs Celtics Game 2 full video highlights
By Josh Hill
The NBA Playoffs continued on Tuesday night with Cavaliers vs Celtics Game 2 featuring plenty of high flying action from LeBron James.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are favorites to win the NBA Finals this year, but they’re running into a tough team to beat in the Boston Celtics. Many believe that the Celtics lucked their way into the postseason thanks to some easy games at the end of the season — two if which featured games against the Cavaliers.
But Brad Stevens has coached up a young team to the point where they’re a threat to the Cavaliers — at least in the sense that they won’t sweep. It’s pretty unfathomable that the Cavaliers are going to somehow lose to the Celtics, but they may not sweep the series the way they’re predicted to.
We saw hints of that in Game 2, as the Celtics managed to pull within one possession of the Cavaliers with six-minutes left to go in the game.

Boston is not a team to sleep on, especially moving forward. They’re in the postseason this year, gaining experience and becoming a tighter unit. Add to that the fact that they have multiple first round picks for the next six seasons and you begin to see how Danny Ainge will quickly rebuild his franchise into a potential dynasty.
That dynasty is in the future though, a the Cavaliers aren’t going to budge in this series. They may not sweep, but Game 2 was proof that the Cavaliers are going places in the playoffs this year.
