The Finals will come down to whether we can get our first 2 home games. If we can win BOTH of those games we have a shot against LA.
Have a shot? If the Cavs win their first two home games in either of the next two series, then it's going to be next to impossible for another team to beat them four out of the next five games. I just can't see LBJ dropping four of five to anyone.
But even if the Cavs went 1-1 in their first two games of the NBA Finals, all they'd have to do is win one of the next three games on the road to bring the series back to a building in which they lost only two out of 41 games this season. Not to mention, I don't think the home team wins all of the middle three games of the 2-3-2 Finals format very often.
The first two games of either of these next two series are very key. I'd say a 2-0 start gives us at least a 90% chance of knocking out the other team...

Re: Wake Me Up When..
Obviously you'll be favourites to advance into the finals. As a fan I'll be glad just to get into the ECF. But as I know the Celtics, they won't go down without a fight even though they are outmatched. This is a tough team.

Re: Wake Me Up When..
Yup... Celtics screw us over again...
Anyway, my theory for what happened last night was that we just haven't faced any tough teams in more than a month. We came out rolling because were so pumped to play, but then we really didn't know how to handle the Magic once the game went on because we haven't faced any challenges in so long.
I predict we win game 2, split games 3 and 4, and then win it in 7. Should be interesting.
