    Celtics Vs Cavs - Game 6 - The season is on the line (Detailed opinion)!
    Yesterday was one of the most embarrassing sport moments I have ever witnessed in my life as a sports fan from the last 15 years. We all saw one of the best athlete's on the planet playing worst than an average street ball player while his teammates didn't step it up when he needed them the most, his coach didn't do a single strong move when he needed them the most and the fans couldn't stop their emotions and booed louder than I probably ever heard in what might have been the last home game of their best player ever.

    Game 6 tomorrow, is going to be one of the most important sporting events of our time in my opinion. If you like it or not, what LeBron did in his 7 year career is something that only a few have done in any sport when you look at numbers. Yes the Cavs played pathetically, the Cavs should have been down 4-0 and out the way they have played this series, but what LeBron did and the skill he has is something that no one probably ever had in the game. One thing he didn't show yesterday is a killer look. I could never imagine Jordan or Kobe letting their team get destroyed yesterday like that, yes they lost by big numbers, but they never looked like they don't want to be there like LeBron, and as a LeBron fan, I can't explain what the hell happened.
    So why is this game so important? well ... a lose will end the Cavs season which were the #1 team until yesterday in everyone's mind, and going out at the semi-final against a team that many didn't even think will pass Miami or that easily at least, with the best player on the planet, if you like it or not. A loss tomorrow will take LeBron's claim, or the publics claim that he is the new Jordan, 5 years back and he will need to do so much more to even be considered again when only 2 weeks back it was an obvious thing to everyone.

    LeBron's real problem is - his team
    . Players like: Mo, Shaq, Jamison, Parker, Big Z, Varejao, Hickson and other's is a team that should steamroll a team like the Celtics when the King plays 60% of his true skill. But those players didn't play well two games in a row since the playoffs started, and I think they are the real story. If they loose game 6, most of these players are done, they will stay at the Cavs or get low contracts in weak teams. It seems they don't understand the opportunity they have. They can win a title and change their career or make their career better and who knows maybe make the King stay on their team. Yes Shaq is a hall of famer no matter what happens he doesn't need this title or LeBron for that, but I'm sure he is the first one to say that the TEAM needs to wake up.

    I can promise you all LeBron is going to come ON FIRE game 6, but without his team he is done. The Celtics in my opinion are not the better team, but they are playing right, DOC is doing an amazing coaching job, the big three played very stable and correct and even with Rondo as a no-show they destroyed the Cavs because they are a TEAM, the Cavs are not.

    This may be too late for the Cavs to wake up, but don't count the Cavs out yet, this game is HUGE for them and if I could guess what is going to happen before the game at the locker room, I would guess Shaq and LeBron going crazy to wake up their players, because really Brown has no power of doing so, one of his biggest downfalls as a coach.

    I will make a bold (or dumb) prediction which can look stupid after game 5. Cavs win series in 7. I just think LeBron is so much better than any player on these teams and he wants it so badly that I think game 6 will be a turning point, because tomorrow is the most important game in Cavs history!!!

      Boston is 31-1 when leading 3-2! LBJ is one player, the others are crap

      Boston wins Game 6, Magic win Finals, Magic v Lakers for the big one

          I really think that if LeBron bring his A game, BOS has no chance.
          Game 6 - King 46 Points Cavs win by 7.
          Game 7 - King 32 Points Cavs win by 11.

          Maybe I sound like a dumb LeBron fan that doesnt want to let go, but I know what this team can do.

            Wisegrumpy, think the problem is ... you are a Lebron fan, and you hope Lebron and his team win this ....

            Lebron is maybe the best player and got his worst game of this year, maybe his career ... but basketball is a teamsport and the celtics have a real good balanced team. Even when he plays very good, I still think the celtics will win. The are one win away of the finals, they have their home crowd, etc ..

            I am on the Celtics ML tomorrow. I agree CLE still have a chance, but I think this chance to win is less then 40%.

            If the celtics lose tomorrow, they lose the series, so they HAVE to win and they have the experience in their team and will win.

            So I am on the celtics

            Good luck, may the best team win

            15 - 1 (93.75%)

              The problem is not Lebron's team. They didn't get #1 ranking for nothing. The problem is Lebron himself. When he leads, they all play well. But for some unknown reasons, he didn't lead in critical game 5, not to mention other games. So how do we know if he wants (or can) to lead in game 6 or not?

                First of all yes I'm a LeBron fan, how can you not be?! But as a professional gambler I don't choose my bets that way. I made a lot of money betting against my team (I'm a Houston native) so that is not the reason I write what I write.
                As I mentioned and you have, the problem is the team, not LeBron, they are playing terrible ball. In the other hand, this TEAM is the best TEAM for the last two years (regular season) and that is not thnx only to the best player on the planet.

                Boston is very balanced and has 3 of the best players of all time, maybe 4, but don't forget they are the #1 team this season of losing a DD lead, they don't have a good home record, and they have a BAD bench, that is why I think the Cavs are playing bad, it's not the Celtics playing extremely well ...

                This is a MUST win for both teams. This is the last chance for the Cavs to win a title in the next 20 years at least, and after this season I don't see the Celtics doing much next year unless they get a fresh new star to play with Rondo, so it should be a true WAR something we havn't seen once this series.

                First of all he wants to win more than anyone so to say he doesn't want to win is simply unfair. And the team to play well only when LeBron plays well is WRONG, they have elite players like Shaq and MO for god sake they must wake up and fast!

                I'm sure 100% the King will have a great game tomorrow, Brown must wake up and control his team, MO must control the game, and the Cavs will go to the Finals.

                  If he keeps moving without ball and drives to basket to create opportunities, even he missed many shots, it is okay, he leads by example, his team will respond. I am sure there were a few regular season games that he just stood back and watched his teammates to win. But this is playoff, against a good team like BOS, there is no excuse for not leading, unless his injury was serious.

                      as long as james guard rondo, they will lose. no one else on the team can come close to pierce cept james considering the skills, exp, and advantages pierce has on almost all of the players on cavs. but if james dont hold down rondo then rondo will have a good game. cavs is not a better team then boston, mayb better player as lebron individual. boston is a whole different team in the playoffs every year comparing to regular season. boston win this imo. and another thing, lebron played bad yesterday cus he SUCKED. hiss team was contributing more then he ever did in that 48 mins. mayb u didnt watch the game but he played like a girl. def not MVP status. he should be ashamed he is even named the MVP. no one to blame cept him in the past 2 games. stop making excuses for him.

                        I would be happier to comment on a post that doesn't try to bash LeBron with no good reasons or a post that doesn't try to show me as a LeBron fan with no opinion.
                        So I will just say that I have watched the game from the first tip to the final play like every game, and yes it was the worst game LeBron ever played, but no the team didn't play well and Brown didn't do the right moves.
                        And to say he is not the MVP because of one bad game?! that's just WRONG.
                        Finally I'm sure that a main reason is his injury, a player like him doesn't just go no show like last night.
                        Tomorrow will be different unless his arm comes out.

                          For me, the only problem is that everybody who says that Cavaliers is going to win use the same argument "Lebron is better than any other player" but you need to see the whole team, not only one player... this is a team sport not a individual one...

                            CLE = the best team during the season, but now in the play offs they have to be the best team and they are not. I hope we get a real good game tomorrow and not a game with 10 or more points difference. Let's have a good game !!

                              I totaly agree and since I came to this forum I always talked about the TEAM.
                              And I mentioned in this topic as well, this TEAM had the best record for two years, and they couldn't do it just because LeBron is one of the best of all time. They didn't play even 50% of what they could, and I really hope they will have a chance to do so, I hope tomorrow when I'm going to bet on the Cavs again.

                                Why is this game huge for the Cavs, but not huge for the Celtics?

                                Every argument I see for the Cavs winning Game 6 (including this one) talks about how motivated the Cavs will be to win and how everyone will step up. Lebron will have a huge game, etc, etc... But what about Boston?

                                This is likely their last chance at winning with their current team as their has really started to show this season. But they've played hard in the last few weeks, and their experience and solid team dynamic has been apparent as big contributions are not only coming from their star (Rondo), but from the entire team both on the offensive and defensive ends. That highly motivated team effort has resulted in two beatdowns of the Cavs on their home court.

                                IMO, this series is over. The odds are stacked heavily against the Cavs in Game 6, and I just don't think they have the resolve to beat Boston two games in a row in this spot.

                                  A little unfair you ask what about Boston when I clearly mentioned that.
                                  I'll quote myself:
                                  "This is a MUST win for both teams. This is the last chance for the Cavs to win a title in the next 20 years at least, and after this season I don't see the Celtics doing much next year unless they get a fresh new star to play with Rondo, so it should be a true WAR something we haven't seen once this series."

                                  So yes I understand fully how important this game is for BOTH teams, but as I said, this is the BEST TEAM for the last two regular seasons against a team that struggled most of the second end of the season and that should have be finished it 4-1 already, but the fact they haven't in my opinion shows that if the Cavs step in up, it's game over for the Celtics.

                                      You're saying the Celts should have finished it? Or the Cavs?

                                        Celtics no doubt. The Cavs played four terrible games and one game that to be honest the Celtics were just terrible, not the Cavs great.

                                          The shows over for Lebron and the cavs on Thursday.Last nights game reminded me of when the cavs lost to the magic, Lebron realized that his team just wasnt good enough to win a championship.The celtics have found their mojo and know the importance of putting the cavs away in game 6. Boston -1 is a gift, theyve outplayed the cavs for most of the series, and the line should be at least -5.

                                            As I mentioned and you have, the problem is the team, not LeBron, they are playing terrible ball. In the other hand, this TEAM is the best TEAM for the last two years (regular season) and that is not thnx only to the best player on the planet.

                                            Boston is very balanced and has 3 of the best players of all time, maybe 4, but don't forget they are the #1 team this season of losing a DD lead, they don't have a good home record, and they have a BAD bench, that is why I think the Cavs are playing bad, it's not the Celtics playing extremely well ...

                                            This is a MUST win for both teams. This is the last chance for the Cavs to win a title in the next 20 years at least, and after this season I don't see the Celtics doing much next year unless they get a fresh new star to play with Rondo, so it should be a true WAR something we havn't seen once this series.



                                            First of all he wants to win more than anyone so to say he doesn't want to win is simply unfair. And the team to play well only when LeBron plays well is WRONG, they have elite players like Shaq and MO for god sake they must wake up and fast!

                                            I'm sure 100% the King will have a great game tomorrow, Brown must wake up and control his team, MO must control the game, and the Cavs will go to the Finals.




                                            Please brother. You ain't no professional gambler. There ain't no professional gamblers giving long winded write up's that are clouded by there homerism to a forum filled with degenerates. Besides as a professional this would not be a main event type game in your mind like it is. A professional would be looking to derive value specifically here not emotionally. You are looking at all the emotional factors rather than the pure cold hearted truth here. You are winging it on a prayer. With all odds stacked against you to choose Cleveland is a poor choice imo..Not impossible choice, but a poor choice.

                                              agreed--kobe or nash would have never detached themselves from a critical game like this-bad shooting or not.
