Interesting...the last BIG win the Cavs had on the road in the playoffs

sounds like some UNHATCHED chicken counting going on around here...I don't like it.

i am not expecting anything. but everyone making the cavs out as some big bad road team that will come into boston might not be accurate. can the cavs win? absolutely....but i think boston will be ready to play at a higher level also

Didn't we lose our last big home game in the playoffs?

Sure Boston lost game 7 vs Orlando last year when we were playing Mikki Moore and Scal in place of team MVP, Kevin Garnett. The Celtics over-achieved to even get that far against Orlando last year to be honest.

The Cavs of 2008 relied on Wally Sczerbiak, Ben Wallace and Zydrunas to play valuable minutes.  Believe me, the Cavs of 2009 are a much better team.

Its been 2 games in this series.  I expect the Cavs to take one of the games over the weekend.

And their minutes are replaced by the also rather old Grandpa Shaq, Jamison, and Parker.

The way the team plays so far looks very similar. Give ball to Lebron, watch Lebron bull his way to basket (or jack threes), or wait for him to pass you the ball for a jumper.

Granted I expect the Cav role players to step up as this series goes on and split in Boston this weekend, but so far they are playing ugly.
