(1) Cavaliers Vs. (4) Celtics

[Andrew]

So long as Paul is healthy through next season, I think he'll firmly reclaim the top spot. Nash is still up there too...even with one eye.

[Andrew]

This is embarrassing for the Cavs, not looking particularly good with a quarter and a half to go. LeBron's having a very quiet night, finally scoring his first field goal on a dunk halfway through the third after starting 0/7. Now would be an excellent time for him to take over if the Cavs want a shot at winning this one.

[Dee.]

Loving every moment of this game.
And seriously,Ray Allen is heavily underrated,he might as well be the second best player on the team after rondo.

[Sauru]

personally i think the cavs should bench lebron for the rest of the series to show him they dont like all the will he leave or wont he talk. yeah thats a good idea

on another semi related topic, this games is making me happy so far

[Andrew]

92-68. Nine minutes is a long time in basketball but...yeah.

[Dee.]

Would love if Celtics could close this in game 6.
I Bet not alot of people expected such blows.

[Lamrock]

What the fuck? I still think Cleveland will win the series (Boston went up 3-2 on a superior team in the conference semis last year). Go Boston though.

[dare]

If the Cavs lose this series they should hire a new coach, Brown sucks as a head coach. Lebron would be better if he had Phil

[Dee.]

They will never have phil tho.
And LeBron exactly needs a coach like Brown,a coach that knows nothing about coaching.
He just lets LeBron do all the shit,he lets do the assistants do his jobs,yet he gets credit.
I get pissed off when some guys from TNT say that Brown does a fantastic job.

[Lamrock]

Cleveland probably wins this series, but I bet Orlando steamrolls them. Conspiracy theorists can say this is an elaborate ploy to get LeBron to the Knicks

[Dee.]

Orlando would probably sweep everyone,both Cavs Or Celtics.

[dare]

If Lebron will be headed to the Knicks he might score 50 a game

[Rip32]

I wonder if LeBron still isn't worried?

I also wonder if Mo WIlliams remembered that he had a playoff series to play?

I love watching this.

[Andrew]

If Lebron will be headed to the Knicks he might score 50 a game

Unlikely. He'd probably continue to average round 30 and the attention he draws combined with his 8 or so assists per game would probably see a few of his teammates boost their scoring averages.

Meanwhile, it's all over in Game 5, final score 120-88. Wretched effort by the Cavs in the second half, outscored 30-19 in the third and 40-25 in the fourth. Not to take anything away from the Celtics, but the Cavs didn't seem interested or capable of putting up a fight in that one.

[Dee.]

Cavs seem to always forget about Ray.

[atlwarrior]

U know screw the Cavs it is definitely time for LeBron to go. Even if they get out of this situation and somehow go to the finals. Is it really worth all of this to win a championship? I means its got to be frustrating for Lebron to see teams like the Lakers put away teams like the Thunder and easily the Jazz which are teams that would be more than a handful to Cleveland if theyre struggling with this Celtics team. But good game by Rondo and Ray Allen but fukk the rest of the guys on their roster. I HATE THE WAY THE CELTICS PLAY ITS SO BORING THE WAY THEY PLAY! THEY ARE OFFICIALLY THE WORST TEAM TO WATCH IN THE NBA!

[Sauru]

people forgot how good the celtics can be. when they all all playing well they are really fucking hard to beat. also this people are over estimating orlando. they played a couple high school teams big deal.

Whoa dont get too ahead of yourself because as much as I hate Orlando they are pretty damn good. They swept the Hawks with ease who the Celtics could even get a win against this season.

[Sauru]

not saying the magic are not good and they are playing damn well but they are getting over hyped. if the celtics some how win it all this year they will have one hell of a road to get there where the road the magic are taking is alot kinder

[Dee.]

I Would not say its alot kinder,for example if the Celtics would've met Atlanta,those series would probably even be harder then these ones against Cavs.Magic dudes are just lucky they get to fight against teams that don't match up well against them.

[atlwarrior]

Exactly that is why wouldve wanted the Hawks to play Boston instead of Orlando or Cleveland. The Hawks did not matchup well with Orlando. Same with the Bobcats. They wouldve been a handful to Cleveland or Boston. The Celtics matchup way better with the Cavs because the two both play at a slower pace.

[Rip32]

I like Orlando, but bringing up the fact that they have swept two straight teams is the exact same thing that Cleveland did last season and that didn't help them at all in the ECF. If VC goes back to the VC we know and love Orlando could easily be beaten by Boston. By easily, I mean the possibility is there, not that it would be a sweep.

[atlwarrior]

I thought of the same thing but to be honest Orlando clearly is better than that Cleveland team was with a better coach. If Boston advances I believe Orlando could take the series in 6 or 7 but strange theyve also had their struggles against Boston this season too.

[NovU]

I just love how the Celtics are playing. We probably be able to see Celtics vs Lakers finals once again. I wished that to happen last year, but now's also good. The Celtics looked like a better team today, and as expected, Lebron's shoulder seems to be too heavily burdened. Without him having a good game, CLE just doesn't seem to have a chance. Say good bye to the King, CLE fans and welcome to Miami, James.

[Riot]

KG is going to get himself another ring! It's probably the last chance the Celtics will get with their current nucleus so they better take advantage. They can beat Orlando no problem I think.
