The Eastern Conference Finals continue tonight in a pivotal match-up between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavs. The series is now all tied up at 2 games a piece after the Cavs defended their home court and won both games in Cleveland. Tip off is set for 7:30pm Central Standard Time and the game can be seen on National Television on ESPN. It will take place at the TD Garden in Boston. The Cavs are small favorites at -1 and the over/under is 206 points.
Lebron James and company never really seemed to panic after the got their butts kicked in the first two games of this series. Although most the of media wrote and said that the Cavs were toast and had no chance at winning this series, they were wrong. Lebron is too damn good to let his team fall to such an inferior roster that is missing it’s two super stars in Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward.
Head coach Tyrone Lue finally started getting sharp shooter Kyle Korver involved and it has paid off big time. Korver has been dynamite shooting the ball and has taken some of the scoring pressure off of Lebron James and Kevin Love.
The Boston Celtics find themselves in a completely different state of mind from just a few days ago. They were riding high after just demolishing the Cavs at home. But there were unable to pick up a road win and now find themselves in a must win scenario. Typically, the winner of game 5 in a best of 7 series will go on to win the series.
Head coach Brad Stevens made some adjustments and had his team much more competitive last game, but they still fell short. I fully expect Al Horford, Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown to play much better in front of their home crowd.
Tonight’s game will be a fun one and it may have an impact on Lebron James legacy. Enjoy the show!
Thank you for following @steemsports and you can find me @scottybuckets
very tough match . I believe Cavs on fire and win this game to lead the series 3-2
Great preview! I'm leaning toward Boston regrouping and taking this one back at home. Either way, I think this series is heading for 7 games. Will be interesting to see if King James can do it again. What a playoffs he's had.
Great preview!!, I think, BOSTON will to win, but THE KING never give up, so, will be a tough game.
Pivotal game indeed. Even with Boston having home court advantage tonight I'm leaning towards Lebron and his band of misfits. The Celtics team is very young and will be starring down the best player in basketball who fully grasps the importance of Game 5.
I predict Lebron will log a triple double and will have just enough help form his supporting cast to get the victory.
