Charles Barkley is confident that the Celtics will handle their business and keep their second-round series against the Cavaliers short.
Barkley’s prediction is a “gentleman’s sweep” in favor of the Celtics. Boston is simply the more complete team, Barkley said during TNT’s “Inside the NBA”.
“It’s going to be a series, it’s going to be quick and painless,” Barkley said. “With or without Jarrett Allen, the Celtics are a better team. I think it’s going to be a gentleman’s sweep. This Celtics team, they’re on a mission. They’re tired of going deep in the playoffs or losing in the Finals.
