"The next game at home is our game 7" - KG

[CelticsWhat35]

Aside from the obvious of not wanting to play a game 7 on the road against a team with renewed sense of confidence if the Cavs were to win, I think it would serve the Celtics well to get some of that home-court dominance back.  While the Celtics have played much better in the playoffs than the regular season, they still don't have that air of invincibility at home that they had two years ago.  I think a wire-to-wire dominating performance to close it out at home would send notice to the Magic that they're not coming into Boston and winning.

Doesn't matter.  The C's have to win one more game to win the series -- doesn't matter whether it's Game 6 or 7 and they probably have an equal chance of winning either game.  Cleveland has to win 2 games.  Both scenarios are realistic possibilities.

The only disadvantage to a game 7 in Cleveland could be the officiating if they assign a crew that gets influenced by home crowds.

KG is immediately in Kill mode and stresses the absolute urgency to win game 6, Lebron comes out in his press conference and says yet again; "I'm not worried". Of course your not, you know you will get your MAX contract no matter what the result of this series or your performance...  

Yeah, but LeBron had the same seemingly lackidasical attitude after game 2 when he was taking a lot of heat. Look what he did in game 3. This isn't over.

Yea, we all know LeBron is going to try drop 60, we just have to keep playing well.

Lebron could have gone for 40 last night and they still would have lost. His supporting players were that bad and our defense is that good.

Good point, and that's a nice contrast to game 3, where LeBron could've scored 20 and the Celtics probably still would've lost.  It just shows how important it is for the Celtics to play their brand of defense.

I think that as long as our Team plays like we have the last two, and we get fair calls then I'd feel comfortable if Lebron went off for a bunch.

We can overcome him if he does this. He'll try it, too - just to prove a point.

I've never been the biggest Doc fan, but I think he can coach circles around Brown.  That will be the biggest difference in my opinion.
