Six-time NBA champion Scottie Pippen says he thinks the Celtics could beat the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
“I like the fact that Boston is playing with so much confidence,” he said on ESPN’s “The Jump” Tuesday. “Their young players are stepping up and showing their leadership. [Jayson] Tatum, I think will be a great matchup for LeBron. I think [Terry] Rozier is playing out of his mind right now. His confidence is off the chart.”
“They got guys that are committed to winning and are working hard at it,” Pippen continued. “That’s what you like, in terms of watching playoff basketball, you like to see a team giving their best effort and that’s what the Celtics have been doing.
