The series are coming to Cleveland and we saw that Cleveland are a whole different team at home and that Boston had problems in their road games in the first round against Atlanta.

The absence of Big Ben should really work in their favor since Joe Smith is exactly what Cavs need to make Boston focus on other players but LeBron. My second focus is on the PG position for Cleveland. In game one, West and Gibson scored combined 11 points in 59 minutes on the floor, shooting 4 from 16 from the floor. Add to that the fact that they made only three assists and you get very poor game for both of them. In the second game they actually managed to do worse, scoring 5 points, shooting 1 of 7 from the floor and passing 5 assists in 55 minutes. I don't believe that they will repeat such performances at home and with Ilgauskas having a good season against the Celtics, Smith getting more minutes and helping in offense and the fact that I expect better performances of Cleveland PG's, that should really free LeBron to more open shots and get him in to the game as well.

Cleveland are in must win position and should really do the job here
