Hopefully the Cavaliers are in the right state of mind to compete and any player/coach issues are resolved before Cleveland takes the court. Since this is a home game, the Cavaliers should feel comfortable. They play much better home than away. Boston will be playing on back-to-back nights (Jazz/Cavaliers), while the James’ gang have had a day off. But to Boston’s credit, they played well and beat Utah. Thus the Celtics are coming in off a win. Games against the Celtics always get gritty and competitive, so this one shouldn’t be any different.
All players have struggles or bad performances in their careers. James looked off from the beginning of the game in Detroit. So how will LeBron come outin this one: aggressive or passive?
