The series moves to Cleveland with Boston leading 2-0 in the series. The Celtics have yet to win a road game in the playoffs dropping three straight to Atlanta in the opening round. The Cavaliers problems in Boston were the fact they couldn't make shots. Center Zydrunas Ilgauskas is hitting 57% but the rest of the team is at 26%. Lebron James has shot 19% in the series and has committed 17 turnovers. The Celtics are swarming Lebron and his supporting cast will need to step up to give Lebron some room to operate. The Cavs were in this spot last year as they trailed the Pistons 0-2 and came back to win the series. The Celtics defense has a home road dichotomy as Atlanta shot over 47% on their home court and under 40% in Boston. Lebron has been a little passive coming off the screen in Boston. I expect Lebron to bring the speed and aggression off the screen at home and bring it to the rim against a Celtic team that doesn't lock down on the road. Play Cleveland –1.
