Cavs vs. Celtics Game 4 Preview


We think that the above photo from Game 3 says it all about how LeBron is feeling these days. He shot 5-16 from the floor on Saturday putting up a total of 21 points. The rest of the Cavs shot 32-54 (59%) to lead the Cavs to victory. According to CBSSports.com, "James' 22.4 percent field goal percentage in the first three games is the worst of any three-game stretch in playoff history since the 1977-78 ABA-NBA merger."

It would be amazing if the rest of the Cavs could carry LeBron to another win against the Celtics tonight in Game 4. We don't think it's likely, and since our hedging strategy worked so well on Saturday, we'll do the same thing tonight. The pick: Celtics +2 over Our Cavs.

He still played very well. He didn't play well in the first couple of games. I think the Cavs can beat this team again tonight. It probably won't be the blowout from last game, but they are very capable of being this vastly overrated Celtics team. I think you should change your pick while the changing is good. 1st half of the Tribe double header at 4 (pending rain) and then over to the Q for the nightcap! GO CAVS!!!

I am surprised that cabreras triple play was only the 14th unassisted triple play ever. When you see how it happened, you would think that would have happened more.

I see the announced attendance for the DH was 16,000+. Good thing they didnt have stand alone figure for Game 1. Smiity what was it, about 400?

I would say about 1000 people ended up at the Jake for the 1st game. No shot of being more than that. The whole upper deck was totally empty and you could walk right up to the Batter's Eye and get served. That is a true rarity.
