The Cavaliers supporting cast will need to bring their performance from games 3 and 4 if they are going to steal a game in Boston. Lebron was simply smothered by the Celtic defense in Boston because his teammates other than Zdrunas Ilgauskas couldn't hit shots. Lebron needs space to operate and he cannot drive the lane with 5 defenders on him. There has been one thing that has been consistent in this series whether the games are in Boston or Cleveland. It's Cleveland's intensity on defense. Boston has shot only 41.4% at home. Lebron will be more aggressive in game 6 than he was in games 1 and 2. Lebron as young as he is has been through the playoff wars already. Game 5 will be a defensive grinder. Take the Cavaliers and the generous 9 points.
