    So does Cleveland even try in game 3?

    Line will prob be -6 or so. I don't know how anyone can lay points with this team, even at home. Just gutless and so easily defeated after every little thing that goes wrong during the game.

    They cant win at Boston, LeBron knows that.

    What is their motivation at this point? They know if by some miracle they win this series then they get eviscerated in 4 versus GS.

    They know they're not good enough so why even give a max effort at this point? It wouldn't exactly be unfathomable to for them to pack it in even at home.

    Boston not good on the road but Cleveland just not good at all. LeBron has all the chips falling where he wants. 40 point triple double and they lose by 13. It's so obvious he has no help and plays with trash, isn't it? He simply can't win there anymore, can't even get to finals anymore. National perception will be in agreement. Free ticket to go wherever he wants next year.

    Smart move would be to lay down and end this Cavs era.

    so just do what he did vs Boston in 2010? he doesn't have help? no... they don't know how to use what they have to play sound team defense and offense. do the little things

    they are only here because Toronto sucks in the playoffs and they had a home game 7 vs Pacers

    That's my point...the narrative will be he doesn't have enough help. So instead of getting to the finals and having to face another defeat by the dubs, why not just bow out in this round? Then it can be his latest excuse. Only this time his help was so bad that they couldn't even get to the finals. And he avoids that 6th finals loss for the time being.

    Bron will come out with a huge effort. in a perfect world Bron wins game 3 for the fans, loses game 4 in a close one

    then celts close them out game 5


    but i agree that is cavs make the finals it will be real ugly. 130-85 every game

    Celtics have only won one game on the road in these playoffs and that was the game where the Sixers had those terrible turnovers at the end of the game. Bucks won all 3 games at home against the Celtics.

    That's a big call to even question if he won't try. He's playing for pride and his legacy. He'll always try.

    Bucks probably a better team than what you witnessed game 1 and 2. I think Celtics can cover 6 when JR Smith is shooting 0% and Lebum/Love combine for 80% of their team points.

    Home teams will win first 6 games, then James wins game 7 in Boston.

    Young teams struggle to win playoff road games - bet accordingly- Boston could easily be 0-5 on the road

    This is so easy to see whats going on. LEBRON DOES NOT WANT TO GET EMBARRASSED AGAINST GS. No super star should have a -32 after a game. NEVER!!

    I think Cavs win easily, Boston hasn't shown all that well on the road in these playoffs.

    I have reliable inside information from a guy close to the organization who lives in Cleveland and is occasionally issued a press pass. We had a long phone conversation this morning at the end of which I can honestly say I believe they will try in game three.

    If your bookie offers a binary proposition bet on the "try" factor for the Cavs tonight, with no regard to who wins/loses, do yourself a favor and go all-in on "yes." I am so confident it will hit that I may even start my own thread and promise to never post on SBR again if it loses.

    Cavs win and probably cover at home.. Celtics won't play as well on the road.. Cavs will try desperately to hold home court with a wild crowd cheering them on at home now, especially in the next must win game..

    Series is over if the Cavs lose at home in the next game.. Don't see it happening...

    Funny how heritage has them +165 for the series. They have to hold serve at home and steal one on the road.That line tells me cavs will win by double digits.Going by the remarks of this group brady should of never came out in the 2nd half against the falcons.Just need to get lakerboy to quit air betting them
