NBA playoffs is no longer a bunch of uber-paid players and coaches figting for rings and bragging rights. As the recent home-victories have shown, it has become a fight between fans. I don't know if our celtic team is championship-caliber. It doesn't matter. Our celtics team has worked hard all year to bring us home-court advantage. We as fans have been given an opportunity to make a difference and win this championship for Boston. If we raise the banner without winning on the road, so be it. We will take the credit and give credit to our team for giving us an opportunity.
The ball is in our court, literally and let us will this team to victory tonight and every night until the banner is raised!

I think we have a shot to win.  The owners are definitely getting their money's worth... but LeBron is just too good.

Hey, wait a minute, they get all the money and we have do all the work (and pay exorbitant amounts for the pleasure of doing so).

Sounds like a good deal for the NBA ;)

We're winning this game.  The gap between Boston and Cleveland is wide enough at home to make up for our coaching handicap.

To put a gambling spin on things, we are favored to win by 8.  ESPN.com has 60% of people thinking the Celtics to win outright.  Of course this doesn't factor in the 8 point spread, so it will be interesting to see how the line shifts between now and tip off.  Either way, most of the money has got to be on the Celtics.

Given the questionable officiating as of late, in addition to the home domination in the 2nd round (with 2 road wins all round - DET@ORL and LAL@UTH), plus the fact that the Spurs are going to win outright on the road Monday night, if I were a betting man, I'd say Boston wins but doesn't cover.

The odds favour us so they'll let the Cavs win and pick up a huge payday. :)

Celtics should win this. 


The NBA doesn't have 'away officials'. 



The Celtics have shown they actually play better because someone is motivating them (crowd)

Too bad I didn't take my own advice  ;)

The Celtics have the talent to win it all. It’s Boston's crowd coaching this team in the playoffs.
