We will either win game 3 and sweep the series or win game 4 and win it in 5...bank on it.

I think the C's win this one 92-81. A tight game they put away at the end.

We need to take Game 3 with a sense of urgency. We need to go out there with a do-or-die mentality and not forget what happened in Atlanta. They are going to be fired up in front of their home crowd.

Well, every team that won the first two games in the East Semis lost Game 3. I hope we can be the only one to win three in a row after that horrible Atlanta series.

I have a bad feeling about this game, but hopefully I'm wrong. C's have to stop their road woes eventually.

i think lebron will score a lot but also take a lot of shots. at the same time, the celtics defense will shut down his supporting cast so the c's will get their first road win in this year's playoffs..

It is time for us to play the best game of the playoffs! We need to kill their spirit and their belief that they can win against us! It is time for our first road win!

Go, C`s!!!

I agree with you here.

LaBron had a couple of very bad games (yes, the defense was more than excellent) and now people are dumping all over him as if he was some hollow product of media hype.

The fellow is going to be dangerous tonight.

Playoff blow outs often are often not good things. The winner relaxes a little and the loser gets fired up.

In game 1 of the 1985 finals the Celtics destroyed the Lakers 148-114 in the Memorial Day Massacre.

The Lakers were humiliated and Celts lost the home court advantage the next game. They never caught up. In the end, the Lakers defeated Boston in the playoffs for the first time.

This situation is obviously different since the Celts have held serve but I will be surprised if we do not see a very different LaBron tonight.

I think James will obviously do better. He has missed some pretty easy shots, but I think the Cs have something to prove as well. Yes, some idiots say James is a product of the media, but they are idiots for a reason. No one with a brain thinks LeBron isn't good, or as good as advertised. The Cs however, have been hearing the "they can't win a championship unless they win on the road, which they haven't done yet. They will want to end that chatter ASAP. When is the last time the Cs lost 4 in a row on the road? So, it will be a battle for sure with both teams looking to prove something, which should make for a great game.

doubt we can sweep, but if we win tonight, even if they win 3 straight after, we probably win the series

I don't expect a win. Why?

Lebron will not play that bad again.

So far every home team has won game 3. I believe when a team goes down 0-2 it is very difficult to beat them 3 times in a row.

Celtics have yet to prove themselves on this road thus far.
