I'm confident that Mike Brown and his staff have made some adjustments offensively after the first two games. I have been critical of the poor job the coaching staff has done with adjustments so far, but I think we'll see crisper ball and player movement in this game.
Basically, like always, it is going to come down to making shots. The players and coaches can lament how they didn't get loose balls, or crash the boards in the first two games, but the main reason the Cavs lost is that they didn't make shots. In games 1 and 2, when the shots weren't falling, I don't think that the Cavs changed things up enough on offensive to maybe get some different looks. If the shots aren't falling tonight, I hope they are willing to go some different directions (small lineups, use Devin Brown or Damon Jones, etc.) to try and get out of the funk. I'm not saying that those tactics will work, but you got to pull out some more stops if you are on the verge of going down 0-3.
I think that Boston will win 1 of the 2 games here in Cleveland, but will it be tonight? I'm going to say that the offense can't continue to be this bad, and that the Cavs will feed off of the home crowd, and bring home a victory, somewhere in the 8-12 point range.
