NBA PLAYOFFS (35-18-1, +14.73u) 2010.05.01 only pick:
Boston Celtics @ Cleveland Cavaliers
Today we will have the first game of a semi final. Many people will follow this particularly series with interest, as everyone still waiting to see if the Cavaliers can be really a contenders while they have LeBron James. This will be probably the biggest chance for the Cavaliers, as they will lose LeBron for free agency next year. For the Cavaliers now will start the true test to their capabilities, has they had faced before only the Bulls.
The Cavaliers and the Celtics are both aware that they are not playing at their best. Both teams can play better, as we saw in the regular season. If the Celtics were happy due to a bad coaching from their last opponent, the Cavs didn't ensure their qualification as easy as we though. So, despite some favoritism for the Cavaliers today, this series will never be a surprise, as any result is possible and acceptable. The Cavs knows that now it's playoffs time, and probably their best chance for the upcoming years. But the Celtics, even with a poor regular season, are always strong when they arrive to the playoffs, as they got one of the most experienced rosters. They got big talent for the past and the present, that can help them facing big games.
Both teams play with muscle, and are strong in the paint. We can't expect today a fast game, as both teams will play as smart as they can. In the big battle in the paint, probably the winner will be the strongest at that position, as it is the key for the series. In the games between these teams in the regular season, all games went over, however it was different situation. Both teams had lot's of free throws, due to same lack of permeation. At this point, none of the teams will repeat that game, as they will not offer free throws to the opponent, will have to be stronger and solid than before. In the regular season, a loss is just.... a loss. Now, a loss is a step forward to the end of the season. We should expect a playoff game (as it is) between these teams, and that makes always both teams more concentrate in the defense than offense.
