Default Round 2: Cavaliers at Boston

Game 1 is Tuesday night at 8 PM. Here's to a good series and hopefully the good guys can come out on top.

Thoughts on this series?

I agree, the Cavs need to win one of the first two in Boston and can't give up any home losses. I'd be surprised if this series didn't go to seven games.

These are 2 great at home & terrible on the road teams. Hopefully we can win one of the first 2 & get a leg up.

Everybody seemed to have put Boston in the NBA finals when the playoffs got started. Then, the Hawks took them to the wire. I think Boston is a much better team than the one that showed up for the opening series. Do you see what the Celtics did to the Hawks in game 7? That was ugly.

Seems like every game the Celtics won against the Hawks was a blowout. They're definitely a team that if the Cavs can keep it close and play tight defense, they can beat. The Cavs also need to score a lot of points because the Celtics seem to score 90-100 points every game.

Can't wait for the game to start tonight. We need to win one of the first two games. I think as long as we stay out of foul trouble and limit andy and sashas minutes we have a great chance to win. Come on cavs.

The Cavs may have lost, but Lebron had one of his worst nights ever. I like our chances in game 2 when Lebron steps it up.

I've never seen Lebron play like that before. He just couldn't sink a shot to save his life. This does show that the rest of the Cavs are a much better team than they were a year ago. A game without Lebron scoring before would have been a blowout.

It's impressive that the cavs were able to keep this as close as it was and possibly win it when Lebron had a very bad game. Hopefully the cavs defense continues to play well in game 2 because they will need it.
