  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.
If Bradley and Thomas have great games in a Game 7 we could win it at home. LBJ has demons at the Fleet Center and that could hellp.

Toronto still scares me if they get Lowry back healthy.

That's why we need to finish 1st, since Toronto is going to wind up 3rd.

We have a great team and a very good coach. I wonder what Kevin Durant is thinking now. He could have been King here, and won here. I know I know he is winning in GSW, but this would have been his team.

Not writen in stone, my friend.

'he is winning' present tense, Clench. I did not mean there is a guarantee that he is going to win the championship for sure.

KD isn't an alpha dog that's why he ran to GSW. He was the man in OKC and ran from that. He could've owned the East but he can't beat LeBron.

I agree that we can play with the cavs they can't defend anyone and being at home would be huge help some of the bench guys play with confidence. I don't know that lebron has demons playing at the garden though, last playoff series against us he swept us, and the last big home playoff game we had against lebron he had an all time performance (game 6, 2012).

Lebron has had a couple bad showings in his career but he usually rises to the occasion and I expect him to do it this playoffs as well no matter where the game is played. I do however think that the Celtics are good enough to overcome Lebron playing well as long  as the cavs defense doesn't pick up.

He has a Smart plan: He's gonna make Marcus shoot 20 times a game. Surefire way to beat Boston. ;D

Why are we so down on our team and feel so high of the Cavs...

Firstly, forget we lost some bad games to them early on the season because we were basically a newly formed squad with some injury issues and the Cavs where healthy and clickin on all cylinders..

Fast forward to today and the Cavs are worn out and buying everyone they can think of to help GM lebron who has to play 40 min just to stay competitive. Our situation has changed significantly,  peaking at just the right moment and with AB andMS healthy we have the right players to contain the likes of Kyrie.
Beleive it or not IT is also an otherworldly talent right now..he can go toe to toe with Lebron offensively so our offense shouldn't be an issue in the playoffs...bring in our A1 Defense and its a recipe for a series win against the Cavs. Yes believe bebecause this team can beat the Cavs.

IT can't go toe to toe offensively against Lebron if when it really matters he will have Lebron covering him. Lebron LOVES to chase small guys from behind to block them and is as clutch defensively as Smart.
