    Default Celtics first road team to win in round 2?

    Any thoughts on this, Cavs have looked awful to this point and Celts can be overwhelming, especially when they have one player to focus on.

    How ironic this will be if it happens? NBA sucks.

    Why is Cleveland favored by 2? Can someone explain this to me? This Cleveland team has no one that can create their own shot besides Lebron. If Lebron isn't hitting his shots, and he isn't so far, the Celtics will keep daring him to beat them from the outside, and in my opinion, that is something he cannot consistently do yet. Ben Wallace is doubtful for the game as well, and if he's out, Cleveland loses a big part of their interior defense and defensive rebounding. Celtics had their will in Game 2 getting to the basket and they had no problems driving to the lane and getting to the charity stripe. Without Big Ben playing, the Cavs D is obviously more vulnerable. Celtics will rip them apart on offense and will put the locks down on Queen James again. I'm well aware that just about every home team in Game 3 has covered the spread, except the Nuggets, but I'm very puzzled that Cleveland is favored in this game.

    The Celtics can double up on James all night long, without fear of anyone else picking up any slack. The Cavs are too slow, in my opinion, to do that with Garnett, without Pierce, Allen, or Rondo nailing daggers. The first round losses in Atlanta are what worry me on this game. Was that more a result of the Celtics resting players down the stretch, or was it matchup problems?

    Celtics had trouble with Atlanta because they were more athletic. No one on Cleveland can create their own shot. Atlanta had multiple players that could get in the lane and get to the hoop.

    Coach Brown is a decent defensive coach, but this team isnt as good as they were last year. I cant see anyone stepping up for this team right now.

    I wish they would just end this series one way or another. Hate both teams. LeBron the baby and the Big 3 Losers.

    Cavs have been far from convincing. The Celts will grab game 3 and gift game 4 to Cavs before ending the series at home in game 5.
