Is it homecourt or is it matchup?

[Cyclical]

Is the reason we just lost 2 in a row lack of homecourt support, or is it simply that Cleveland matches up exremely well against us?

I think the latter.

The Cavs almost beat us in game 1 despite a great defensive effort. This series could have easily been 3-1 Cavs right now. Fact is, we are not handling their defensive pressure and with the exception of game 2, have no answers on offense. Homecourt or not, if the Celts don't figure any new solutions today they lose the series the way Detroit did last year.

Throughout the season most of our losses came when the 4th quarter was close, and since we are most likely not going to blow out the Cavs this is a concern in every single game - home or away. I'm usually an optimistic guy but this group is giving me tons of reasons to be afaraid... KG better get agressive in the fourth; Sam better find his shot; Ray better find his shot; Perk better stay with Z and crash the boards; Rajon better keep move the ball moving around; PP better be commited to take it to the basket and get them over the limit early if we want this thing to go 7.

It's not about home or away anymore.

Go Green.

I'm less disturbed that we are 2-2 and more disturbed that the away games weren't really that close. We barely lost any games by 5 points all year and now all the sudden we lose 2 and can't score at all.
