As we tape Game 1 between Cleveland and Boston is just hours away with Boston a 10 point home favorite in game 1. The Celtics have won and covered every home game against the Hawks in round 1. The teams split in the regular season with each team winning at home. Lebron missed their first meeting in Boston with injury and played through a turned ankle in their second meeting in Boston during the regular season. Boston has had trouble defending Lebron James in the past as the All Star has scored 30 or more against the Celtics in 9 of their last 10 meetings. Playing in Boston wont faze this Cavalier team because they have been through the wars of playoff basketball on the road before. I have a feeling we might see a very low scoring series with both teams stuck in the 80's and some real ugly games with teams not breaking 80 points later in the series. Cleveland closed out their series with Washington by playing good defense limiting the Wizards to just 40.2% shooting in their last 2 games of the series.

I will have my play from Game 2 in this series with full analysis on my blog on our website at www.GamblersTelevision.com/tonyt Thursday morning.
