In today’s episode of Celticscast…No Starting Five, just some C’s talk as Game Six comes up against the Cavs

Well Celticscast fans Chris and I had a few minutes to spare and we’ve got a new episode previewing game six and talking about the Celtics and Cavs. The bad news - the uploading process to the web site is having some technical difficulties and it looks like it probably won’t make it until later. Hopefully it’s up by gametime but look for it on the right side of the webpage and on itunes.

The Celtics were awesome at home against Atlanta and awful on the road. So here we are three games into series #2 and the C’s were good at home and bad on the road. Am I worried that they’ll lose game four? Not really - in fact the way the playoffs are going you can chalk this one up for the Cavs and move to game five and must win that one. Can the Celtics home fans will their team into the Eastern conference finals? You know I think they can. Against Detroit - no. But in this round I think four home wins could do it just like in the first round.

Look at the other series - 14 home wins, one home loss. The Spurs lost twice on the road but won at home, same deal for the Lakers, Jazz and Hornets. It’s just making home court look bigger and bigger and do you think that the Jazz and Spurs can win a game on the road? Yes - can the Cavs do it? I don’t think so. I hope I’m not too overconfident but what does it matter if I am? Go C’s.

 Cheers

All the talk that had crept in about Kevin Garnett not being able to play in the playoffs…not being clutch. This game tonight was ugly but game one down the stretch was played in the hands mainly of two players. One made a shot to go ahead - one could not match. Kevin Garnett was strong, LeBron James was…well. 2-18 with 10 turnovers! King James had nine rebounds, nine assists and a bunch of free throws but in the end he could not tie the game after Garnett had put the Celtics ahead.

It’s game one and every game counts just as much but at least to start this series KG came up big. I’d love to see him do it in Cleveland over the weekend or again in game two but for now I’m taking it.

By the way, at least it was game one because the start of this game was so bad it would be far too far frustrating for a game five, six or seven.

Cheers!
