We *should* win game 7 based on all the trends of the series, but that's part of why I'm very nervous. It's already a given that we are getting an unfavorable ref crew, and LeBron can help undo home court advantage.. he's a transcendent player. It could very well be a game where if someone breathes on LeBron then a foul is called (unlike games 1, 2 and 5). It could definitely also be a situation where the Cavs finally shoot better as a team on the road, and someone like Clarkson or Hill hits a lot of 3s, etc. etc.
Can someone please talk me off the ledge as I am super stressed out?
your fears, threats, phobias, ledge position, sky-falling-isms would appear to be:
1. refs....you mean that the celtics will get bad refs in game 6 who will call lots of fouls in favor of the cavs? that is what so many posters said here a few days ago. that was stated as a given by many on this board.
result - did not happen in game 6. aside from being perched on a ledge, i dont see any reason to believe this will happen in game 7.
2. lebron will go super human, score 2,381 points and the celtics will score 0 points, or some variation on that fear.
no way to stop him! many posters said this many times in the series
result - in each and every home game the celtics have come through and beaten lebron. no exceptions. boston is undefeated at home in the entire playoffs. period.
3. oh noes oh noes, cleveland bench players have been terrible so it is ordained that they will be entirely different and now play a great game 7 in boston, where the celtics are undefeated!!!!
result to be - they wont play like superstars. nothing, absolutely nothing so far validates your fear or confirms your worries. and let me also say that there is no love in this game. literally. the non-lebrons of cleveland are about to get stomped.... the basis for my belief is based on the games to date.
sometimes i think i have more fun being positive and hopeful during celtics losses than others do who are negative and fear-filled during wins. enjoy the games guys, that is why we watch
this has been a fantastic season and am happy to watch the kids keep on winning.
