LBJ >>>> Celtics >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Doc Rivers

We's gonna roll deez fools like a joint.....

Isn't it funny that the one guy wearing white is better than all three of those green guys ??? :nod:

But in all seriousness, I hope it's a great game, and nobody gets injured...

And if we win, I want my Tommy Point....

Really, Ray + PP > LBJ. If both Ray and Pierce go off for 26 points apiece like in the last game, I doubt LeBron scores more than 52 in the same game.

But you will likely kill us in the paint, as our biggest player beside Perkins is 6'8". Pollard is out, too. We somehow managed to keep Dwight Howard cool with our big men (Big Baby, Powe & Scal). But I guess Doc puts Posey at PF again.

Equation does not compute.

They have to prove it for it to be true to me. LeBron has already proven this year that he > KG + Allen + Pierce.

It's not about the points when it comes to THE KING...

Pierce and Ray can combine to out score LBJ by 30, but at the end of the day, the impact of LBJ far exceeds the impact of any combination of Boston Celtics...

If we don't play like a team, we have no chance of winning, except if LeBron has a bad night the same game. But if we play like we usually do, we have a chance (we beat Dallas without KG).

And we beat you with KG

Which was two months ago with Ray Allen missing two key free throws. Such things don't happen twice.

I have no real scientific reasoning to back this up...

but...

I think Cleveland is going to win by at-least 10 points.

Yes, Sasha and Anderson is out, and LeBron is still injured, but playing........ yet, I think Cleveland is better than Boston... even when the C's are at 100%.

This is just my personal opinion and I know that many wont agree with me...But I FIRMLY believe that Cleveland and Detroit are still the top-2.... followed by Orlando & Boston (toss-up), and then Toronto.

Cleveland wins

Lebron goes for trip-doub

Hughes scores 16 or more
Gibson and Z score 15 or more

Drew and Devin score 10 or more

Damon makes at-least 2 3-pointers

LeBron,Z,Drew all have at-least a double-double (Bron gets trip)

Cavs out rebound C's 50+ to (under 40)

Can I have a sip of whatever it is your drinking? It must be some very good stuff. :wink:

The East Finals are going to come down to Boston, Detroit & Cleveland. Anyone one of those teams can go to the NBA Finals IMO.

Should be a good game tonight.

Man that third video made me really miss the Sasha of last year. Nice post.

Finally something we agree with Heath.

That video definitely showed why we need Sasha and Varejao to play up to their potential. I think that Varejao has been a bit better this year overall, but we need Sasha to step it up for the playoffs.

We need this win. Orlando just lost to Dallas so we can catch a game on them. We are actually on 1 GB in the loss column of them I believe

I always like facing Lebron. Hate Verjoke. So I'm happy to not have to watch Slideshow Bob.

The best part about facing Lebron is your team can sometimes completly change there defense for this game.

Last time we faced him it looked like a 1-1-3 zone rotating around Lebron's movement. Literally the gameplan was just focused on him and letting other guys get there wide open looks [Gooden,Z] I don't know if you guys recall that game and those events but the Celts have never done that for anyone else this year. It will be intresting if teh same strategy is done.

I think it will be hard for either team to get psyched for tonight's game. boston pretty much has a lock on the Atlantic title, and barring a Detroit collapse, Cleveland is just playing for their playoff seeding.

The team that comes out with the greatest intensity (not easy to come by this time of year), will win the game.
