I'm happy the Celtics got both games in Boston. But LeBron's a freak & it wouldn't surprise me if the series is tied up after 4 games. I just hope the Celtics can get 1 of the next 2. I don't want the series to be tied up when they return to the Garden.



Home court does wonders. Plus the Celtics arent great on the road

I'd complain there was too much of a break between game 2 and game 3, but to be honest so far the NBA playoff schedule this year has been 10x better than previous years. I felt like the scheduling for these conference finals was the type of scheduling we'd get in previous years in every round.

Keys to victory for both teams.

Cavs:
Pretend like its 0-0.
Expect your role players to be better at home.
Don’t force LeBron to dominate early.
Try to blitz Celts early.
If they can build an early double digit lead like in game 2, chances are they won’t blow it.


Celts:
Weather the early storm.
Don’t assume J.R. will suck.
Make LeBron work for everything he gets, but live with what he gets because he can’t beat you alone.
Make Love defend. Chances are you can get him in foul trouble.
Don’t let Korver or J.R. get into a rhythm. Both have proven they can keep it up.
Live with any other Cav besides the 4 I mentioned taking and making shots.

Sick of LeExcuses.


FFS.. He plays with HOFer still in his prime in Kevin Love and has a bunch of 3 point sharpshooters. Why should be lose to a team of rookies/sophomores/role players missing their 2 best players

. You will see how EASILY this Celtics team gets disposed of in the finals.


This loss would be on LeBron PERIOD. Not being a leader. Being a Beta-bitch that will, once again QUIT on Cleveland.

Funny how he's the "King" when his team is doing well.. Then its everyone else fault when they underperform and play with no sense of pride and urgency. Leader lead. And LeFraud aint no leader (not unless he has a dream team)

Cavs should have more than enough to dispose of the Boston Role Players. Irving/Heyward aint around. The difference is LeBeta and his team of lazy bitches only play hard for maybe a half, the Celtics play hard the entire game. This is Effort. Lack of effort is on the leader not rallying his troops PERIOD.


This is a MASSIVE fucking LeChokeJob. He's dropping out of the top 10-12 if loses this shit. Probably to top 15 all time thereabouts. Sorry but you don't LOSE to teams missing their two best players. Not if you got two HOFers (and ones an all time great.. Well "supposedly"). He's got some work to do to PROVE he belong with the elite. Right now he's showing he doesn't. Elites don't lose to a team of Role Playing 20 year olds a couple of decent players missing their TWO BEST PLAYERS. Not when they are in their primes.

I think if you say this about 50 more times it will sink in. Doesn't matter if it's moronic, just keep posting the same thing over and over and over and over and your reputation as an astute sports commenter will only skyrocket.

I do expect the Cavs to win tonight but can you put your special 3 page spin on exactly why LeBron will carry your team to victory? We all need the extra reasons.

dude i just have no clue

I think LEBron and Love and Korver will play well. I think Thompson will be solid and hustle and do some nice things

As for the rest- JR, Clarkson, Hill--- they need more out of all 3 of those guys. Those guys are certainly capable of doing more than they have done.

Ill guess the CAvs are going to win but i haven o clue i have to be honest. I THINK they will win- but we shall see.

JOKER! JOKER! JOKER!

Anyone else watch the Jokers Wild?

I've never toked up w/ Snoop but I have smoked his signature strain (snoopdogg) before. It's a heavy hitter.

You're ruining my buzz. Say something silly so I can argue w/ you.:heh:

As far as tonight I fully expect the role players to start hitting open shots. Nothing like being back @ home where they'll be more comfortable.
