Best of 3 Series w/ 2 at home...

I know I am not saying anything new, and there already threads for positive fans, but do all these gloom and doom posters really not like our chances in a best of 3 with two games at home?

I was disappointed, frusterated, the whole bit by the 2 CLE games...but why moan and complain about a poorly played game that's over?

The worst thing about these dozens of reactionary gloom and doom posts is that all the rational thoughtful posters use all their posting/energy just to calm everybody else down instead of discussing relevant topics like: the game plan going forward, how to involve Pierce and Ray more, what to do when Rondo's man cheats off of him when the ball isnt in his hands...etc.

Look that game last night was brutal to watch, but we cant all go into panic mode. We were the best regular season team, we havent lost yet at home in the playoffs, and we just need to win 2 out of 3 games with 2 at home to hit the restart button again and start a new series.

If you are paniced and despressed...fine...but keep it all in the same paranoid threads so there actually be basketball discussion going on here. Instead of 'oh my god we suck' and 'well actually we dont suck becuase of...'

Thats all there is on the board right now...

What I really wanna know is what people mean when they say we are "closer to losing at home than winning on the road" ... What? How does that make sense? Last time I checked in this series each team has one blowout and one close game at home. So both teams could lose at home. It's not like the Cavs have won here, all year for that matter. Plus with the exception of game 3, all the games away in the entire playoffs we have at least been competitive in. I just want someone who hates this team now suddenly to explain that statement to me.

It's really not that hard to understand. The chances of this team winning on the road is almost 0%. The way be have been playing on the road, it doesn't look too good. It will take a miracle for this team to win 1 game of the road now.

We almost lost game 1 at home. So the possibility on Lebron finally going off and stealing a road game is more likely to happen, especially when he went 2-18 in game 1 and they still almost won.

0% chance of winning on the road. People should be banned for saying stuff like that.

They should...thats ridiculous.

We've obviously had a terrible start on the road in the playoffs but we were the BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE on the road on the regular season.

How can people think we have no chance of winning on the road...we had more then a 0% chance with a few minutes left in the game last night...much higher...

What is frustration people is that this team was great on the road and when it matter they cannot get the job done. No one can understand this and it has been analyzed from top to bottom.

At this point I do not think this team can in on the road either but I feel that James can steal one from the celtics in Boston. Make no mistakes if the celtics lose tomorrow there is a very good chance the cavs win game six and end the series.

So, considering your reasoning, I assume that the chances of this team losing at home are measurable in negative numbers only.

The facts:
6 wins at home: 20.2 point differential
5 losses on the road: 10.4 point differential

This board has been invaded by wimps. The only other time that I have seen so many living beings running around in such terror was at my uncle's farm when he was choosing chickens to behead.

hahaha, so true. People are being crazy. If we are just as unbeatbale at home as we are un-winnable (bad term) away, we'd winthe championship...

...not saying it'll happen that way, but everyone needs to take a deep breath.
