Home-team Cavaliers face tough task vs. Celtics

The home-team Cleveland Cavaliers face a strong challenge when they host the visiting powerhouse Boston Celtics in the ongoing National Basketball Association season Tuesday evening.
Although, the Celtics hold a superior 12-4 record compared to the 7-9 of the Cavaliers, the home-team is still considered the favorite in their game, since they already beaten the Celtics early this year 95-87.
Beating the Celtics for the second time this year will not be easy, since the visitor is dead serious on revenge and avoid the sad fate of being beaten by the Cavaliers for the second time around.
After beating the Celtics, the current NBA season had been hard for the Cavaliers as they cope up with the loss of its superstar Lebron “King’ James who decided to play for the Miami Heat in the current NBA season.
Taking the cudgels for the Cavaliers in the departure of the high scoring James is young power-forward JJ Hickson, veteran center Antawn Jamison and reliable point-guard Mo Williams.
To defeat the Celtics for the second time this year, Hickson, Jamison and Williams need to play hard against the star-studded Celtics.
The decision of James to leave the Cavaliers in favor of the Heat might be hard to overcome but the Cavaliers has shown that it can live and win even without James, considered as one of the top NBA players today.
If the core of the Cavaliers lead by William, Hickson and Jamison can continue their strong play this year, the team has a huge chance of barging into the playoffs.
The visiting Celtics for its part will once again be lead by its NBA superstars lead by Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Shaquille O’Neal and Rajon Rondo.
With a powerhouse roster, the Celtics has a huge chance to beating the Cavaliers and avenge their loss in their first meeting.
The Cavaliers was able to defeat the Celtics in their initial meeting with their outside shooting.
To avoid defeat the Celtics need to limit the outside shooting of the Cavaliers and score inside courtesy of Garnett and O’Neal.
The Celtics also need to capitalize on their experience to surprise and defeat the home-team in their game.

Offseason Uncertainty for the Boston Celtics

Uncertainty is the offseason theme for the Boston Celtics as they will likely either be very much the same team as last season or radically different.

Head Coach Doc Rivers has long been rumored to be quitting his job with one year left on his contract in order to spend more time with his family. While just a rumor, Rivers has said a number of things publicly to substantiate the idea.

Rivers has three children including one who is in his senior year with the Illinois basketball program. His other two are both heavily involved in high school or college athletics too. If he is going to take a year off to be able to see his kids play, this pretty much is the last year he can do it for all three.

Associate head coach Tom Thibodeau is already gone. He accepted a head coaching position with the Chicago Bulls. If Rivers leaves too, that means the Celtics will have a radically different coaching regime next season.

Those changes at the top could prompt Paul Pierce and Ray Allen to leave too. Allen is a free agent and Pierce has the option to terminate his contract one year early. After playing in Rivers’ and Thibodeau’s system for years, they may both decide it is better to take another crack at a cup elsewhere.

Both players are in the twilights of their careers and playing a year for Boston while they try to work out a new system might seem like a waste of their fading talents when they could be that last piece for a team that is on the brink of success.

It will be an intersting summer for Celtics fans as the team could go in to full rebuild mode, or they could just end up tweaking the team to get that extra little they need to be champions.
