Was there ever any doubt that LeBron James, and the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers, would win Game 6 at home? Every game in this Eastern Conference Finals has been won by the home team so far. For real though, the power and ability of LeBron is simply too much for this young Celtics team to overcome while on the road. There was just no way he was losing this elimination game at home. LeBron was amazing, as expected. He hung 46 points on the Celtics cavalcade of defenders in

Talk about home cooking. The Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back for wins in Games 3 & 4 after two crushing losses at the hands of the Boston Celtics in Games 1 & 2. The role players for Cleveland did what they were supposed to at home; coupled with LeBron’s usual dominance, Boston lost 116-86 and 111-102 in Games 3 and 4 respectively. Both Cleveland and Boston looked like completely different teams after the series shifted to Cleveland, so what follows are some numbers to expla

What’s the Backstory? Well, here we are again. The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers will meet for the second time in as many years in the Eastern Conference Finals (their third overall meeting in the past four postseason). While it’s no surprise LeBron James and the Cavs find themselves in position to make their fourth consecutive NBA Finals (it would be James eighth (!!!) as a player), the Celtics trip has been fraught with peril. In case you died or weren’t on the pla

Thanks to an unexpected Kelly Olynyk game, Isaiah Thomas and the Boston Celtics squeeze past John Wall and the Washington Wizards at TD Garden Monday night to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. It was a grueling 7-game series that really tested the Celtics, but awaiting them are the defending champions Cavaliers, who has been itching to play. LeBron James and his boys has been off since May 7th, thanks to their 4-0 sweep against the Toronto Raptors. The Cleveland Caval

At the start of this NBA season, fans were fed the same notion again and again: when June comes, it will be Cavs-Warriors III. Outside of the Spurs and Pop with his never-ending bag of tricks stealing the West from Golden State, it almost seemed improbable to conjure any other image because in the East, it was Cleveland. End of story. And who could argue with that logic? They have rolled through their last two playoff appearances with a 30-11 record including four sweeps, two
