Would be nice if we can finish this series up in the next two games and wcs goes 7. Must win game tonight if we're trying to accomplish that . . .
I think the Cavs just proved at the beginning of this series that a very long lay-off is not good for them and they come out rusty. 3 days off I believe is probably the best for them.Would be nice if we can finish this series up in the next two games and wcs goes 7.

The Cavs have to come out being aggressive and not act defensive ..because Boston will come trying to deliver a knockout punch.This will be a tough game: Boston is just so different at home. Refs let them get away with a lot more stuff and guys like Smart feed off the crowd.
We have a good shot though and that's all you can ask for: We've pretty much outplayed them for the last 3 years games except post Lebron head injury. I predict Baynes/Horford at some point and hopefully Lue has something up his sleeve for that.

Agreed. With their young team, they are going to be doubting themselves. If we take an early lead we can keep that doubt in their minds all game.
I feel like game 2 got away and was actually very close. The Cavs stopped executing the game plan and Lebron got shaken up. To me it looked like the Cavs had been in control of most of the last 3 games. Celtics will ave to have super hot shooting or the Cavs will have to turn it over a bunch to lose.
Plus refsWe also had 10 more turnovers than them in game 5, which is what made it seem a lot close than it was.
I totally agree. A couple of things really changed that game IMO.
One was obviously when LeBron took the hit in the jaw. He was totally not the same after that. And it would also not be hard for me to believe that other guys on our team seeing/knowing he's kind of messed up how that would kind of weigh on them and at the same time spur the other team on.
Two was the 11 point lead that turned into a 7 point lead right before the half, it just totally game them the momentum going into the locker room especially with the way most of our 3rd quarters go.
I am just really hoping that we can limit the turnovers tonight. I feel like the team has found ways to limit some of the things that Boston does well (mainly Horford), and we have found ways to pick on them defensively. If we can just clean up the play a little bit I think we will have a great shot to win tonight.
Yep. Turnovers are really going to be key. Cavs got away with it in game 4 at home, but they won't have that margin of error in the garden.
