I went with Clev over 51 1st half and over 103.5 for game.

Got celts +7 and I think there is a good chance they get it done tonight. They've now suffocated the Cavs defensively for the last 7.5 quarters they've played.

The home/road stuff is relevant but the analysis about it has gone a little too far IMO.

Go Celts. 1-6 on the Playoff road. Uncharacteristic. They were the third best rd team in the NBA behind Houston and Golden State. They got their confidence back in Boston. I think they close this series out tonight.

Good luck all.

There definitely is a big disparity in their play but 1-6 is a little deceiving. Both games 3 and 4 in Milwaukee they didn't have Smart and it was Tatum/Rozier/Brown 1st playoff starts. They got a split in Philly. They got crushed in Cleveland game 3 but up 2-0 a lot of teams get killed in that spot. Game 4 they played really well after the 1st quarter I thought, LeBron just had 1 of his best games ever and they couldn't quite get over the hump.

Agree. Good luck to us, PF.

Dunno why Baynes was in so much, he is more of a matchup for Thompson. If Cavs are gonna go small then Celts should've too.

If Love can't comeback because Tatum's ironhead took him out then I'd like to see the Celts play Baynes less and Morris/Smart more. Even Ojeleye.

You just don't really need him eating space if the Cavs have a smaller lineup in and LeBron is hunting him on D. And Celts need all the spacing/scoring they can get on the road.

Though I suppose keeping him in makes it tougher for the Cavs to put TT on Horford who has long been his kryptonite.

Smart is a better 3 pt threat than Baynes. They need to keep him in.

Celts took Big Baynes out but not until 3 mins pass and Cavs extend lead to 16. Not really his fault the lead stretched to that but with Green in over Love Cavs can just play a lot quicker on D without the Celts being able to penalize them for it with Baynes. Makes it tough to score.

I don't know why Monroe is in either, just play smaller/quicker. That Korver 3 was because he needed help on the drive. Turns it over on a drive, LeBron just splits the D easily on him.

He is absolutely murdering the Celts right now.

Finally he is out. If I had to watch another minute of him, I would windup like Lamar Odom.
