This series is one that could be amazing to watch, but so far shows us a totally different game each time.
Game 1 - Cavs win by 8
Game 2 - Celtics win by 18
Game 3 - Cavs win by 29
Game 4 - Celtics win by 10
First of all before anyone says that 8 and 10 are not blowouts for a series with such great defensive tools these are big wins. And another important fact no team has won two games in a row so far and in each win the winner has dominated most parts of the game.
I think that the Cavs have the power to change things their way, while the Celtics don't. Other than Rondo which is unreal, the Celtics stars are not playing well, not enough to pass the Cavs. In the other side other than the only road win, the Cavs are playing bad, after playing bad against the Bulls and they are still going to win this series. The problem is they MUST start playing like they can and should or ORL is going to destroy them.
I do think the Cavs is the best team in basketball, the King is the best player in the world, and the tools the Cavs have in the lineup and on the bench or incredible. But they have not played as a team.
The Celtics have an amazing amount of turnovers even when they won, that's a problem they had all year long. And the Cavs simply didn't take advantage of that when they lose, they simply took bad shots and didn't control the paint like they can and should.
Turnover so far.
Game 1 - Boston 16 Cavs 10
Game 2 - Boston 18 Cavs 15
Game 3 - Boston 7 Cavs 12
Game 4 - Boston 12 Cavs 17
For Boston its something they are used to, all season long, like they are used to losing DD leads, but the Cavs are a stable team that didn't turn the ball over much this season and hardly ever lost a lead. But since the King started getting his rest, the Cavs started playing bad.
Today the King will guard Rondo, the Cavs will allow Parker to control the game and I hope Hickson will get more minutes because I think he is vital for this team. And don't forget MO one of the best players in the NBA that is playing simply bad basketball all series long, that must turn around and when that will, the Cavs will destroy again.
The bottom line is, the Cavs will win for sure today, and if the trend keeps going, they will cover.
Cleveland Cavaliers - 7.5
