This series slowly returns to the more familiar patterns of the teams. LeBron scored 35 points, Pierce 29, those aren't the numbers that we seen in this series for both star players. Even the score resembles the score in the regular season. After 76 – 72 and 89 – 73 at Boston, game number 5 ended 96 – 89. In regular season, the only game with LeBron in Boston ended 92 – 87. Now Boston would like it to be true. Cleveland won both games in regular season, but by 2 points in one of them and only after OT in the other. Boston on the other hand had 31 – 15 record on road games and not 0 – 5 road record they got in the playoffs.

I'm a bit unsure what to choose. The line or the ML, since we seen in regular season that there can be pretty close games between the teams. Still, I will take the ML. I believe that Boston should finally have the luck and the smarts to win in a close game. They lost at least (I haven't seen all the games) three of the five road games in the second half, after leading or being tied late in the game. They still veteran team and even though most of them are bunch of losers (Garnett and Cassel are the L team – add there Flip and you got T-Wolves losing their only shot at a title), they bound to win a road game even my the mere probability laws only.
