83% of teams that win game five of a series that is locked up at two games apiece go on to win that series. I'm pretty sure you have heard that Boston clobbered Cleveland in game five in Cleveland. Thus, the Cavaliers are not only battling the C's, the road crowd, and the mounting pressure, they're also battling history.
- Will tonight be LeBron James' last game ever as a Cleveland Cavalier? We here at the Sports Fix - not on the air today but back tomorrow! - say....NO. Those writing the epitaph on the 2009-10 Cavs and James' legacy, the NBA plays a best of seven for a reason. Cleveland has already won in Boston (see game three) and I have to believe the Best Player Alive won't go out in a game six tonight.
- Am I rooting for Boston? YES. Is there a big part of me that thinks the Celtics have Cleveland's number and that the pressure suffocating James and head coach Mike Brown could cause another meltdown like in game five? YES. Not to mention that Rajon Rondo is quickly becoming a must watch star and Kevin Garnett actually seems the doctors were wrong, he is alive.
- However, it's do or die and in many ways Bron Bron usually comes through. Is this time different with the pending free agency and change that will inevitably come to Cleveland? Yeah, it is, but I just can't see it all ending this way. Give me Cleveland in game six and I don't think it will be that close. Get ready for game seven in Cleveland on Sunday - which could benefit Boston (again though - let's go C's!).
