It will be interesting. Boston is a better road team than home team and they have played better in all 3 road games than their two home games in the series which makes no sense. But they won more road games than home in the regular season too. Even in their win at home they didn't perform all that well outside rondo, Cleveland just out-badded them. It's hard for me to have too much confidence though in a team that lost two consecutive home playoff games by 50 points. Something very ugly appears to be going on with them.

I can't remember being this excited for a basketball game in the past, and this includes the '08 Finals. Makes little sense, I know.

Does lebron come through?

I think he does. I think he does something superhuman tonight and the cavs bring it back home for game seven.

Regardless, before you throw tomatoes at me, I was totally dead wrong about this series. Boston is much better than I thought they would be.

Serious matchup problems. If Cleveland goes with starters, they can't defend the celtics when they spread the court. When they go small, they can't score and lebron has to do everything.

I know he takes a lot of heat but Doc did a pretty darn good job this series. Or maybe he just did an Okay job and Brown is just that bad.

Nope, Doc is still a moron. We have as high as a 10-point lead and he waits until the Cavs are on an 8-0 run to pull within one to rest Rondo. Good time to go without the best player in the series Doc.

Very few moments in sports have been as satisfying as this......

Celts didn't beat Cleveland. They destroyed their soul. LeBron is the king of the regular season. Too bad championships are not won in the regular season.
