Going into Sunday night's game, the Cleveland Cavaliers wete steamrolling their way through the 2017 playoffs, winning all 10 of their games, most of them in dominant fashion. They cruised through the first half Sunday, hitting 64% of their 3 pointers, and widened their cushion to 21 points midway throught the third quarter. Then the cracks started to show. Lebron, who had led his team on this playoff mission of dominance, started to show fatigue bigtime - no lift left in his legs, curtailing his shooting and rebounding abilities. The Celtics clawed their way back, and won the game on a 3 pointer by Avery Bradley in the closing seconds.
Which brings us to game 4 tonight. The Cavaliers' aura of invincibility has been lost. The world now knows they can be beaten. And the Celtics who handed them the stunning defeat, have to be sky high with confidence. Not to mention that the Cavs must be in some degree of shock.
Do I think the Celts will win tonight? The Cavs are the defending champions. Lebron and his excellent cast of supporting characters are anxious to get back on track on their mission of tearing through the East and then proving they can again beat the Warriors, even with the addition of Kevin Durant. So I'm not thinking that the Celts will win tonight, although this isn't saying they can't, as there's a question how much in the 48 hours between games the Cavs have gotten over stubbing their collective toe as badly as they did. But spreadwise to be getting 15 1/2 points? You do the math.
Play the Boston C's tonight, plus the 15 1/2 points!
