With Gerale Green starting over Amir Johnson, the Cavs should just simply(and for the second game in a row) pound them in the paint and pound them on the glass.

The Celtcie are gonna try counter the same way they did the Bulls in game 3.

Unfortunately for the Celtics, we aren't quite the same as the Bulls without Rondo.

They're going to try and turn the game into a high pace, up and down shootout. It's the only way they can keep up with us offensively, and they still might not be able to. If we control the pace we will control the entire game

Do the celtics really think Jaylen can stop Lebron?

It's never about stopping Lebron, Hell Igoudala won Finals MVP while Lebron put up 40+ a night. Jaylen ain't going to do as well Igoudala but at least he didn't look as hopelessly mismatched as everyone else on the Celts did. The hope for them is ff we miss from 3's and Lebron just has a normal Lebron game instead of God Mode Lebron they have a good chance. Cavs have so many shooters though it's hard not to find somebody that just messes up all the rotation.

(One caveat you can definitely come close to stopping Lebron with an elite wing defender and an elite mobile shotblocker: see Duncan's Spurs and Dallas with Marion and Chandler: although this maybe mute as well now Lebron looks confident from 3)
 
So LBJ is 102 points shy of Jordan in playoff points if google is up-to-date. I think he'll get it even if they sweep.
 
They're starting Gerald green tonight in place of Johnson. Presumably they're putting hi on Love. Go to Love early and often.

I get that, but by the time he guarded Lebron it was when the cavs pretty much locked up the game and Lebron was coasting.

Btw, not sure if it's true but my friend just texted me and said jaylen said he isn't afraid of Lebron and he is just another player. Hopefully someone relays that quote to Lebron.

Yup - saw this. Get ready for some real garbage tonight folks. Wouldn't be surprised to see LBJ in foul trouble, easiest way to fix the game.

Oh he said it. I just saw the clip, he said that Lebron is a "good" player and that he has "scarier things in his own neighborhood growing up" lol and that he views him as just another guy.

It's probably too late for Lebron to see it because it was in pre game. It definitely would have made the media rounds this morning otherwise. But I really hope LBJ does, remember him killing the Detroit kid Stanley Johnson when he was saying similar stuff.

Jaylen was also answering a baiting question from the reporter in fairness, he is still too young to pick up on that type of thing clearly.

So the Celts are going with a small lineup. I guess we just have to pound the shit out of them in the paint again.

They're screwed either way.
 
LBJ left off the MVP finalist list? I feel sorry for Boston tonight.
