Celtics on CLNS

Everyone gets what they desire with the Celtics-Wizards best of 7 series scheduled to begin on Sunday.

Scuffles, pettiness, and hard fouls aside, the talent on each side suggests this will be an ultra-competitive series, as the Celtics and Wizards split their head-to-head season series at two games apiece.

Plus, after flying to Washington after Friday's Celtics victory to attend his sister Chyna's funeral, Isaiah Thomas appears ready for action in Game 1 against the Wizards.

The Boston Celtics season was on the brink after going down 0-2, but Isaiah Thomas and company completed an epic comeback to seal their first playoff series win of the Brad Stevens era. With the Washington Wizards defeating the Atlanta Hawks, the second round is set to begin on Sunday in what should be a fascinating series.

IN this ROUNDTABLE preview, Jonathan Levy, Lucky's Pipe (Tom),  and Matt and Jon Ignal discuss some keys to the upcoming series between the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards.

The Boston Celtics embarrassed the Bulls in Chicago in Game 6. The win puts Boston in the second round for the first time under head coach Brad Stevens. They will play the Washington Wizards in Round 2 starting Sunday.

The Boston Celtics have the opportunity to advance in the playoffs for the first time since 2012 with Game 6 tonight in Chicago. 

Although Rajon Rondo remains out, and Jimmy Butler is reportedly playing through pain, Brad Stevens understands that the Celtics have to fully focus on the task at hand.

Plus, Larry Bird steps down from his role as President of the Indiana Pacers.

Given the previous - and future - trade speculation surrounding Paul George, does this increase his likelihood of getting dealt, and are the Celtics still a candidate?
