Game 6...your feeling and your prediction

[celticinorlando]

-I think Cavs come out and try to knock the Cs out in the first quarter. LBJ will revert back to a volume shooter.

-If Boston can survive the first quarter...be up or be within 3-5 points...they will be in great shape. They have to make the lay ups and bunnies. Defend and you win.

-I think by late 3rd quarter Boston gets the lead and keep it.

-C's win by 6-8 points. Boston is too good not to win in Cleveland and the Cavs look mentally fragile.

-Now the wildcard is the refs. If Brothers is assigned this game, we will face an uphill battle. He is not calling the game tonight in the West so he might be an option.

-The NBA LOVES games 7 and this in in Boston featuring James would draw massive rating on a Sunday. That might be too much to pass up for the refs to call it fair.

Similar to Milwaukee in Game 6, I think we play better and give ourselves the chance to win late in the game. We seem to gradually get better playing on the road throughout a series, so I expect a better effort from us.

Plus, I think only having one day off is also a major advantage for us, as Cleveland is much older and Lebron is showing some fatigue.

Series seems destined for game 7 to me.

LeBron misses the walk off. Celtics by 1.

Unless Game 6 is the Tony Brothers game... then it's Cavs by 30.

I'm expecting a Lebron love fest from the refs in what could be his last game in Cleveland. 

I'm figuring a close game -- C's play their best road game this series and Cleveland has stamina/performance issues in the second half.  it'll be close -- decided by  3 points or less.  Sadly predicting Cleveland win but hoping to be completely wrong and enjoy a Boston blowout.

Celtics by 4

Unless Tony Brothers is the referee, in which case Cavs by 8.

[Moranis]

I think James has an epic game and the Cavs hold on for a close win at the end, but frankly wouldn't be surprised at any outcome (i.e. Cavs blowout, Cavs close, Celtics blowout, Celtics close).

Plus, I think only having one day off is also a major advantage for us, as Cleveland is much older and Lebron is showing some fatigue.

I also think he clearly had a concussion in Game 2, and I wonder whether he's fully recovered. Those things may linger.

LeBron misses the walk off. Celtics by 1.

Unless Game 6 is the Tony Brothers game... then it's Cavs by 30.

I think ref #1 is Marc Davis, in his game home teams are 4-1 SU and favorites are 4-0 in the 2nd round and conference finals.  So if you're a believer in the refs, let's hope it's not Brothers or Davis.

Celtics win 101-93

Last night's game they let them play...Cs had several drives to the rim (Tatum) that were not called but overall it was not bad.

I prefer that kind of game than the ticky tack fouls like in Game 4 vs Philly

[seancally]

Celtics win by 6-12 points in a game that opens up early and the Cavs fight but never quite get within reach.

Or a blowout loss.

Or a James buzzer-beater walkoff.

Or a blowout win.

[wiley]

Close game all the way until about 5 minutes left in the game, then Cavs start to melt down and play poorly...

Lebron's ego may want to keep up his consecutive finals appearances streak......but his subconscious wants no part of Houston or Golden State. 

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

fully expect a loss. never expected to win there. we just seem to have so many hurdles to overcome on the road. let us see if they prove me wrong. sure hope so.

i do expect lebron to come at us and try to take over from the onset. we have to hold him in check, guard others and keep attacking on our end. pound him on O and D. wear him out. exactly whay worked in our wins. wash, rinse repeat except with a better shot % this time.

[angryguy77]

I believe they have the better chance going into this game than they did game 3 and 4.

Game 4 we gave it to them. They shoot like they're capable of and handle screens well in game 6, then they should win.

Boston is the better team and I really think they were very close to cracking the cavs in game 4.

Cleveland doesn't have any more wrinkles to throw, so they're shouldn't be any surprises.

Now if boston shoots another anemic FG%, they'll get creamed, but that can't happen again......can it?
