Ray Allen is amost struggling more than LeBron

If we feel like this series is over, you win. If we learned from our three losses in Atlanta, we do.

Yeah, except that he dropped 11 points in the third quarter in Game 2.

I think Cleveland might have this one. The C's have been horrible on the road in the playoffs. But who knows I guess we'll have to wait in see whether Jekyll or Hyde shows up.

Have a good one guys

If the Cavs dont come out fired up with the home crowd and get out to a big lead we might as well get swept. With that said you know LeBron is in for a monster game, and the role players should hit their shots at home.

Hey Exile why do you have Devin Brown in the starting SG spot?

Honestly, we don't know it yet. It didn't work out very well in the Finals, not sure if we can say with certainty it won't happen again, Boston's defense is more than capable.

It's now or never, we better hit the open shots at home or its gone fishin time. M Brown wants Lebron to shoot jumpers it said in the paper here, that may what is written on his tombstone (career wise anyway) if that leads to another loss today.

I don't know, but the only time this season I can remember than we were down by much was in Orlando, when we trailed at the half by 20. Eventually, we lost that game by 2. I doubt, however, that the Cavs can get a big lead.

He was already in for it in Game 2.

A big lead in the playoffs is not 20 points.... at least not normally. This year's playoffs have been very strange in that there have been a ton of blowouts. That is not at all typical of playoff basketball, where most of the time games go down to the wire. A 10 point win in the playoffs is a rather resounding win... thats the kind of lead I look for us to get.

Also if it werent for your absolutely hilarious posts on our board during the Celtics/Hawks series I would probably be more annoyed by your posts. The fact that you provided me humor during that series and already made yourself look so bad, makes your current posts bearable for the time being.

Cavs giving 2 in this game. Bet the under (178 pts).

Lebron gets assertive at home and pours in 35, Gibson and Z hit their shots, but the Cs stifle everyone else and win by 5. If a few of West/Wally/Boobie/Sasha get hot the Cavs will win, simple as that.

Let's let the on-court performance do the talking.

Yeah, I did. I just edited it. Thanks.

As for the game, I feel that we have a decent chance to take this one away. Just some things we need to improve on.. LeBron needs to step out of his slump.. I've never seen him shoot this miserably in his 5 years in the NBA. Mike Brown needs to call timeouts to stop the other team's momentum.. Since Wallace is gone, Big Z or Varejao will need to take man up on KG.

The Cavs start off playing pretty well (14-4). Now lets see if they can keep it going.

32-13 wow what a quarter

omg 43-17 wow

Post #17 » by **TheOUTLAW** » Sun May 11, 2008 12:58 am

It just amuses me that people don't think LeBron gets fouled.

Cavs appear to be running away with the game. They need to keep playing at a high level though.

slanno_23 · Post #18 » by **slanno_23** » Sun May 11, 2008 1:07 am

Celtics will start to make a run here soon....
lets just hop we can stop it before they close the gap

Post #19 » by **TheOUTLAW** » Sun May 11, 2008 1:12 am

Cavs take out LeBron and the Celtics immediately shave 10 points off the lead.

Charge on LeBron, but I think it was questionable at best.

Gotta love how the announcers have basically been calling LeBron a flopper when the Celtics have been flopping all over the place lately and they've made no comments at all.
