Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[Sportsguy9695]

Any predictions for LeBron's line tonight?

I am going truly epic:

53 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists

I think your right. He will put up a great state line but I still see Boston winning especially with love out

 

[Shanemansj13]

Refs for tonight: Marc Davis, James Capers, Zach Zarba

I assumed that’s how it always was. Home teams always gets the calls for the most part.

 

[Heatles84]

Jeff Green getting the start.

If James comes out in assist mode mindset, Cavs are gonna get jumped.

I think you're going to see Lebron get out on a scoring fury early. My prediction for his stat line:

44 points
12 rebounds
11 assists
5 TO
45 minute played.

Cavs win a close one tonight.

 

[Heatles84]

Unfortunately this isn't a reliable stat to go off of. Love will be missed in some fashion and the only game he's missed was game 6 where he got knocked out early.

5 more hours

instead of all the he sucks and is overrated posts, I hope we’re talking about how insane it is in this era to have made it 7x in a row.

Or we could talk about how James Jones carried him to all of those finals appearances.

Jones retires, Lebron misses the finals.

Coincidence?

We have similar thoughts.

I said more points and fewer assists because I don't trust the role players.

Also, not sure even a line that mine will be enough. If he posts 40+ with 10+ assists though, it is an indicator that they made a few shots and the Cavs probably win.

Ill bet he’s wishing he had a one shoe’d Mike Miller out there with him tonight.

Cavs need

both Nance and Hill to play great tonight

to have a chance to win.

 

[Montalban]

This will be a fun game to watch tonight. I hope the Celtics can pull it out. I would think they have the advantage being at home and no Kevin Love for the Cavs.

@bksballer89 .....

Who am I betting on today?

 

[Gman]

The Celtics are invincible at home.

I haven't checked who would have home court in the Finals... but if it's the C's, these playoffs are already over and Boston has won.

They are almost invincible against their East opponents. Don't think it will play out that way if they face GS. And they do not have home court against either.

If Celts win tonight it will change the dynamics of the EC for years and prob lead to

Invincible indeed.

Bron been to 8 straight finals, Boston's been "invincible" at home...

ONE of those things ends today...

 

[msgkings322]

Of course the LeBron storyline is huge but another story is Brad Stevens. I don’t think Doc Rivers could do this with this team.

Very few other coaches would have this team a game away from the Finals (and favored to get there)

Sure but I am completely vbroke. All I can do is avi bet.

 

[msgkings322]

I'll be pretty surprised if he puts up 50 on the road.

Against a great defense
