Cleveland at Boston (05/06/2008)

in the playoffs,preparation is everything....even in a 7 game series.....Boston is clearly a better team, but cleveland has the advantage going into game 1 becuz they've had 3 days to prepare,whereas boston coming off a mentally and physically drained 7 game series ,only have 1 day to prepare and get refocused for a much better team against "arguably" the best player in the NBA(LEBRON JAMES).....Boston will adjust as the series goes on...thats why now is the best time for cleveland to take advantage of the edge they posses in "preparation".....besides the way james raises his level of play against elite teams,he said in an interview after beating the wizards(friday), that he hoped boston/atl went to game 7 so they could work more with getting PAVLOVIC back in his groove........

this game will be similar to utah/lakers game....where utah went in game 1 on 1day of preparation....they came out first half a step slow , and even though they lost the game, utah played much better in the second half after making adjustments....Boston should win outright but i think they come out slow and make their adjustments after halftime to win the game.....ill take CLEVELAND FIRST HALF ONLY......UNDER FIRST HALF......UNDER FOR THE GAME
