boston is still only a game out of first in the east...the cavs have a west coast swing coming up and games with detroit and orlando....the next 10 games for boston are all very winnable...they need to sweep the week with the raptors and nets and get back on it...

I don't care if it's against my old high school's girls basketball team....they have to play better, period!

The schedule still favors cleveland at this point, for example they have 3 days off before they play the grizzlies and then another 2 days off before they play the bulls and should be plenty rested for there west coast trip, which I see them dominating, why? because they are better than all of those teams.
Meanwhile, no game on our schedule is a gimme game right now and I think it just gets tougher for us from here

Among top teams, losses mean a lot more than wins because they happen less frequently. Due to the extra games we have played, the math might say a game out, but we are essentially farther behind than that.

Or the Carolina Panthers - Jack Delhomme had more turnovers last night than Rajon Rondo did in Cleveland Fri night.

The C's just look slower than every team they've played lately- not sure if it's lack of hustle, lack of focus with the streak ending, maybe a couple of injuries, or age catching up to the big 3.
Unfortunately, mostly because of the referees, the home court is way more important than it should be, especially when one team has a player as great as Lebron.
C's better wake up soon- I'm hoping they're just mentally deflated after the winning streak ended, and will be able to kick it back up a notch.
IMO, PP should just take over some games if no one else can.
