Couldn't tell you how this thing is going to end. Its been so back & forth and appears to be evenly matched.

I will say that I'm pretty adament that whoever wins Game 5 is winning the series, though.

(Don't ask me who I think is going to win Game 5, though  )

Celts in 6.

We take the next 1 in Cleveland and finish it at home.

Very confident the Celtics will win.

Not to speak for everyone else, but from what I've seen today, the majority (including me) think that the Celtics have to win it in 6 or it's the Cavs in 7. 

If the C's went into Cleveland and took a Game 7, that would be a tremendous upset.

Considering Lebron has the ability to win a game all by himself I would agree that winning game 7 in Cleveland would be an incredibly tough feat. It's us winning the next 2 or Cavs in 7. As usual you're on the money Racker.

Seeing as Rondo has to ability to win a game all by himself I would be surprised if we lost in 7.

  If we get to game 7 it's no worse than a tossup.

Pretty much how I feel.  The last time the home team lost a game seven (that I can remember) was the Kings and the lakers in that infamous series.

Umm, didn't the Celtics lose Game 7 vs. the Magic last year?  I was there and have been trying to remove it from my brain since then, so the memory's a little foggy...

Yep...thanks for that.

That said, the Celtics didn't have LeBron last year, and I don't think he'll allow his team to lose a game 7 at home.  He allowed them to lose game 7 on the road in '08, though, and home and away don't seem to mean much in this series.

I agree with the general sentiment, though.  The Celtics need to close this in 6 to have a real chance.  On the other hand, it seems unlikely that either of these teams will win 2 straight in this series, let alone 3 straight.

LeBron is of course the best player in the league, but where does this confidence in him to "not allow his team to lose" come from? We're not talking about Jordan here. We're talking about a guy who's never won anything. Has he ever even won a game 7 in his career? Certainly he never has against a team as good as this year's Celtics.

I'm not saying he wouldn't win a game 7, but it sounds very hollow to say with great certainty that LeBron won't allow his team to lose, because, well, he's allowed them to lose every year of his career.

If the C's went into Cleveland and took a Game 7, that would be a tremendous upset.

Stern and his posse WILL NOT let that happen....
