Game 77 | Cavaliers @ Celtics | April 4th, 2010 | 1:00 PM (EST)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Don't underestimate Charlotte if they end up at the 8th.

(If any other team does then go ahead and underestimate)

If we lose to any team other than Orlando or the WC Champs, we have all been duped. This team has proven so far this season that even without Shaq we are better than basically anyone. If we don't make it to the ECF I... I don't know where to begin.

FTR, I'm not saying we should underestimate an opponent when we face them. But looking at the big picture, it's obvious.

I don't remember where we proved we were better than Charlotte.Yes you can look at records and state the obvious about the two but head to head its been a different story this season.

I'm not saying we'd lose, but it won't be a relaxing series to say the least. I'd love to be eating crow on this subject come playoff time.

First off, I love the preview Stereo. It's so well graphical and built to perfection, I should take note of giving some photoshop elements WITH the Flash, animation is still my style... but your side of a preview values importance in graphical perfection.

Second off, the only team I'd be remotely worried about first round is Charlotte. Toronto is a threat due to style and size, but they've fallen off a lot. I trust we can finish them off like we did with Detroit and Atlanta last year. Chicago is tough too, but they just don't have the guts to get us. And even Charlotte isn't close to really beating us, just extending the series to seven games. I expect LeBron to stomp 'em when it matters (Shaq and Tawn aren't pushovers you know).

Boston is a team that we should focus on. Beat them. It's a one game focus, remember. How do you think we managed to do so well, anyways? I don't know... ONE GAME/PRACTICE/WORKOUT AT A TIME??!!

Besides, we beat them, we get the full homecourt advantage and the rest of the games can be relaxed in preparation for the REAL EVENT, which I assume most of you are thinking of. But first, THIS GAME!

Boston is still tough, they aren't somebody who will die easily. But let's crush 'em. Beat them, maybe we'll get our true revenge in the semi-finals and finally end their reign like we did with the Pistons and Wizards. Break their spirits.

Shaq still won't play, but we can do this. Andy won't play, but look how tough J.J. becomes in these big games? Z is good to have back for moral support. Antawn should be good to go, then rest him so he gets his health back with neck and arm. LeBron can carry it if necessary.

Anyways, enough babbling on my part. I'm ready for 1 PM. It's time, to KILL!!!!
 
It wouldnt be that bad if we lost this. I want bos to get the 3rd seed anyways.

of course i still want the win. hopefully LeBron explodes.
 
but head to head its been a different story this season.

Yep, because head to head records in the regular season mean everything.

Your 2006-2007 Cleveland Cavaliers.
 
Great stuff, as always, Stereo!

Here is your NumbersDon't preview:

Game Preview – Sunday April 4, 2010 – Cleveland Cavaliers @ Boston Celtics

The Cavaliers got their 3rd straight victory over the Hawks at the Q, 93-88 on Friday night, a game in which they won or tied every quarter, and outrebounded them by 19, led by J.J Hickson’s career high 16 boards to go along with 8 points & 2 blocks. LeBron James went 11-20 from the floor for his 27 points, as he delivered 13 rebounds, 6 assists, & 2 steals, while Mo Williams had his 2nd straight 20 point game (first time he’s done that since 12/27 & 12/29), with 24 points, 4 rebounds, & 4 blocks with 3 triple hits. Antawn Jamison added 12 points & 7 boards in 35 minutes, while Delonte West added 9 points & Z 10 rebounds, off the bench.

Boston is coming off of a 119-114 OT home loss to the Rockets, who were without Kevin Martin and Trevor Ariza. Paul Pierce led the way with 27 points on 9-14 shooting, while Rajon Rondo went 10-18 for his 23 points to go with 5 rebounds, 10 assists, & 5 steals. Kendrick Perkins shot 7-10 from the field for 15 points, as Kevin Garnett went just 4-12 for his 12 points. Rasheed Wallace & Tony Allen combined for 23 points (11 & 12 respectively) & 13 rebounds (8, 5) off the bench, with Allen adding 5 steals & 4-8 shooting.​

View it in its entirety.

Spread the word! These posts definitely deserve to be viewed. Much like with Arenas's fiancee, nobody will leave disappointed! :thumbup:

Don't forget to leave some love too. There's some great stuff on there that doesn't have many comments, and that's a shame!

Cam has a new post up, where he looks at Boston's struggles this season at home.

While I posted what may have become the most controversial piece thus far :chuckles:, where I look at Mike Brown's tenure with the Cavaliers.

And, in the latest Wednesday Q&A, Cam looks at how we stack up with the different centers in & out of the lineup.

Indeed, because it didn't mean anything for us last season either.

Signed,

Your 08-09 Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cavs need to maintain.

Don't anyone get hurt and lets get ready for the playoffs

If there's any game Boston wants to use as a measuring stick and see if they are REALLY ready for the postseason, this is it. They are gonna BRING it. Lets see how the Cavs respond.
 
Well, it's gametime.

Hubie Brown once again. ESPN/ABC is stepping their game up.
 
I hope we take it easy this game and try not to get hurt or anything. I really don't care about the outcome.
 
Despite the 8-1 run to start, the celtics legs are dead. they're giving up that spread, because they clank off the front of the rim.
 
LeBron uncharacteristically jacking up jumpers in the first.
 
LeBron's body language is good, shot selection not so much.
