Confidence Level?

[FallGuy]

I'm a lot more positive than a couple weeks back, even with game three.

But...

I'm not sure they haven't already buried themselves. Losing the lead in game one and no-show-ing game three may end up being, in retrospect, two games where we had to have one. Winning two out of the three including one in Cleveland, including a possible GAME SEVEN? Not optimistic.

Which is odd. I'm not usually the referee conspiracy theorist around here.

So for those that are--

Do you think Boston can win a game 7 in Cleveland with NBA referees?

Do you think Boston can win a game 7 in Cleveland with NBA referees?

Yes they can.

In game 7's the refs let the players play, and that plays into the Celtic's style of play.

I think this series has shown that home court doesn't mean a whole lot with these two teams.

Largely agree with your last point. I hope you're right about your first one.

My prediction is the Celtics are going to need an epic game from Paul Pierce (30+ points) in order to win this series.  Not a particularly gutsy prediction given the circumstances, but I submit it to you anyway.

My Confidence Level is rather high. Always has been.

I knew that if the Celtics played with more effort in the MIA series, it would carry over to this series, and it has.

Sure - CLE is more talented than MIA, but the main thing is that the Effort has been there for Boston. With the exception of that game 3 debacle, we've been right there.

I can't say how many more games this thing may go. It has been a rollercoaster ride.

But I Really Like The Opportunity that The Celtics have here. We are still Underdogs, and won't get ESPN or TNT's respect until we make it to June.

If the Effort is there for Boston...if the Bench continues to produce...I Really like the scenario.

I expect it to Happen. The Captain is due. I don't think he is done.

I see no reason why anyone would think that any game, including a game 7, would be impossible for either team. Both have shown they can win and lose on either court.

I am only confidence that we have a chance. Hopefully things will play out well. Still have to play the games.

One thing for sure, one game doesn't seem to provide much insight into the next one.

afterall whatever happens, i hope the rest of the series is called at least fair similar to game 4

aside from the always couple bad calls i thought the last game for once was called fair, some went there way some and some OUR way FOR ONCE. im not one to complain about refs much but the first 3 games favored cleveland big time. even my brother in law who luvs james said they werent calling the whistle fair to boston.

[Birdbrain]

An all time high.

Boston in 6 because of mismatches all over the court.

Got to keep that confidence up.  : )

Best defense played in the KG/Boston era.  King James was shell shocked.

That game 3 first quarter should be investigated.
