I think this game will be a classic Lebron vs. Pierce showdown. The Cavs have played good basketball as of late despite injuries to Pavlovic and Varejao. The Celtics have gone 2-1 without star forward Kevin Garnett. The homecourt advantage will play a huge role in the Cavs ability to win this game. The key matchup is pretty obvious: Lebron vs. Pierce. Both players are electric, and can carry their teams to victory. Boston will need good gaurd play from Allen and Rondo to win this one. Cleveland needs Gooden and Z to exploit a Garnett-less front court and control the boards. If both teams come out playing good basketball, we should be in for a fun game to watch.
My Prediction: Cavs 96 Celtics 94
