Say what you want, but Cleveland is going to be a huge challenge for Boston. Boston has been playing like ass the past weeks (losing 6 of 8) but tonight I am completely confident. I think the Celtics needed to go through some adversity to go regain their composure and drive. The Celtics are going against their rival in the Eastern conference and a win tonight would show the Celtics dominance at the top of the eastern conference.
This game really hinges on two players. Paul Pierce and LeBron James. These two have had some incredible battles in the past and I expect the same thing tonight. The key for Pierce is to make LeBron James really work on defense and tire him out so he isn't going 100 miles an hour on offense. If Pierce can do that, I feel this game will be won by the Celtics.
Another key is our bench play. Our bench has been highly ineffective during our recent slide and they need to regain their confidence. I still feel that we have one of the best benches in the NBA and I believe they will prove it tonight.
Celtics 100-96
Tommy Award: Paul Pierce
