    Can/will Kevin Love play on Sunday with a concussion?

    Boston kids won't be able to close out lebron in an elimination game to go to the finals. The fact that they haven't lost at home yet further solidifies that to me. Streaks are meant to be broken. The greatest teams have eventually lost at home. This isn't some historic team. Just a surprising run that will end Sunday

    This game is going to be a pick likely just like game 5 was

    Like I said, I have no doubts that LeBron will bring that extra gear for a game 7 and score 45-50 again, but I don't trust the Cavs to score the other 50 points needed to win. Love is injured. Korver, Hill, Nance, JR, Clarkson -- are terrible on the road.

    Celtics are going to feed off their crowd and when Tatum, Brown, Rozier knock down their threes at home, this series will be over.

    Im opposite. I'm not trusting those kids in a game of this magnitude. Just not happening imo. This is actually where experience and having the best player comes into play in 1 final game. They will ride off with a great story line even after losing. Young team with a bright future who are getting kyrie and Hayward back. No failure whatsoever

    The pressure is on LeBron and the Cavs.

    Celtics are playing with house money. Like you said, nobody expected them to be in this position playing a game of this magnitude after losing Hayward and Kyrie.

    All things being equal, Brad Stevens will be the x-factor in game 7. His coaching will get the job done.

    LeBron's 2nd stint with the Cavs ends with another playoff exit in Boston.

    I gotta say Lebron James is still the best player in the league. He never gets cold feet and always comes up big when it matters. Can't say the same for Durant, Harden and Curry.

    Harden didn't handle the pressure well either. I hope he proves me wrong tomorrow.

    We really doing another round of "Lebron gonna lose this time, guarantee it!" again?

    Bruh, he's winning tomorrow. Will continue to ignore the eastern conference until next year.

    Be ready to @ me all ya fools predicting a Boston win. No way LeGoat gets denied. Boston = LeBoston after game 7.

    This. Hope Cavs fans enjoyed their final home game with LerBon in a Cavs uni.

    Wow Lebron is just on another level!! There should be no doubt who the clear best player in the NBA is. Maybe he should be MVP of the regular season every year, the guy is unbelievable and while he might not bring it in the regular season, he always delivers on the big stage.

    ? You must be referring to James Frauden, not the True MVP
