Tonight means nothing. They will lose tonight, split the season series with the celtics and beat them in ECF to make the finals again.

[SharpAngles]

Lebron already preparing for a loss

"Their crowd is going to be great, and it's a very good team we're going to be playing against tomorrow," James said of the Celtics, who are 8-2 in their past 10 games. "We know that. Taking nothing from them, they've been playing some great ball, but I'm not one to get caught up in the regular season. I'm sorry. I've been to six straight Finals, man. I'm the last person to ask about a regular-season game, dude. Sorry."

Boston a non factor in the playoffs Miami and Washington the only threats.

Both teams are non factors lol Miami will lose to the cavs in the first round and Washington won't get past the 2nd round.

[t-wizzle]

What a stupid thread. You seriously need tonight to determine whether the reigning NBA champs are for real? Good god what a dope you are jj.

Boston is giving alot. Cavs playing so many games lately

[JIBBBY]

Back to back games for the Cavs and no Tristan Thompson either..

In on Boston -4 myself...

Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said he planned to play all his players on the back end of the back-to-back. The Cavaliers are 1-9 on back ends this season.

Lol tonight? So the other two matchups meant nothing? I already told you boston wins tonight and losses in 7 games in the ECF. "Rookies", says the guy who opens up a thread about a regular season game determining a teams' future

Jibs those don't correlate well since Lue sat starters in each of those b2bs. Looks like a trap line to me the whole world knows the Cavs struggles lately.

You watch your mouth when addressing the Saloon Moderator

jj has connections and this new mod power has him wanting to show it off, tread lightly

1-9 is still a trend that is not easy to over look especially since this game is on the road. The Cavs just simply aren't that good in back to backs whether starting players got limited minutes or sat out the night before or not...

Tristan Thompson is also out and he's their enforcer, heart and soul in the middle.. Boston should dominate the boards and handle the Cavs tonight unless Lebron goes off and has the game of his life...

I really like Boston's chances at home in this game.. I think they get up big for this game and win by double digits.. Boston is well rested and they should run them out of the building....

Cavs need an early lead or they will fold like a card table

[Snake24]

no TT.

[Dollars2Donuts]

Not sure why everyone thinks that because TT is out that Boston will become a good rebounding team.

Cavs +4 for me.

ESPECIALLY after LeDonk came out and said that the game means virtually nothing. This from a guy that just played 50 minutes in an OT game against Indiana.

GL all

[jjgold]

If I was betting I would take Cleve

Why would u take Cavs after knowing all that.

[MiDNiTe]

want to take cavs but lebrons words dont inspire me this from a guy who doesnt give alot of shit about reg season games

[paco]

James should never be a dog in the east any game

[Mac4Lyfe]

Cav's opening up a can of whoop ass. They're playing better without no offense TT clogging up the lane. Their defense looks better too not having him in pick n roll.

[Yankfan4life2]

Whatever the boston 2H bet is, pound it. That's easy money. They will win this game.

[jjgold]

They might be for real

[Plaza23]

Looks like you picked the right game to bet on the Cavs. They finally decided to show up. Played nearly a flawless 1st half.

33-19 rebounding edge
Only 2 turnovers

[funnyb25]

Great team

[JIBBBY]

Cavs showed up.

Boston looks so rested up that they cant make shots, defend or rebound. Cavs aren't missing Tristan Thompson at all.. Looking like the defending champs should look in this game so far..

Blow out. Celtics need a miracle to win this game now .... Didn't see this happening...

[MiDNiTe]

damn wanted to take cavs +4 seemed alot but james speech made me sit this one out

[jjgold]

Boston pretenders

[pilebuck13]

Boston buried the over guys cold as ice

Who can score on Boston apart from Thomas? They look like Steven's teams at Butler. Great defense, disciplined but void of offense and flawed at putting the ball in the hoop. For some reason, Horford has never played well against Lebron and the rest of the guys look like they are afraid to take a shot. Thomas can't do it by himself.

I think the Cav's are better without Tristan most of the time. He is horrible on offense, so teams play 5 on 4 defense against them. He's making all that fukking money and he can't make a 3 foot shot. His defense is so fukking overrated it's ridiculous. Teams run pick and roll through him and he gets beat like a drum. He does 1 thing well and that's get offensive rebounds against shitty teams. He rarely shows up against another quality big or against most good teams. I bet the Cav's are going to play their best games of the season these next 2 games with him out.

I guess Mac.. It's very clear to me that the Cavs will be back in the finals this year.. I doubt they will see little resistance from the East in these upcoming playoffs..

A 26 point blowout now and this is embarrassing for the Celtics.. WOW!!!! Celtics look like a college team against these Cavs tonight.. Undersized and out gunned for sure in all positions..

[jjgold]

Boston played bad although can they beat Cleve 4 games?

[MiDNiTe]
