The Celtics need a big upset to turn things around

Eastern Conference Finals Game 5

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Boston Celtics (May 26, 08:30 GMT+8)

All mobile betting fans and their mother know that it’s a terrible idea to anger the King. The Boston Celtics felt the bulk of LeBron James’ fury during the second half of Game 4 where he and Kyrie Irving pounded the Celtics to a huge 3-1 ditch.

The C’s understand just how much of a threat No. 23 is to their playoff dreams, but it’s hard to stop a 6’8”, 250lb wrecking ball whose dominant playstyle attracts the trust of online gambling regulars. Betting odds, such as Cleveland Cavaliers -10.00 @ 1.97, show just how strong of an opponent Boston have on their hands.

The immortal question always is how they will stop LeBron. We can refer to Kobe Bryant’s new shorts and obsessively study LeBron’s personality and tendencies, but that’s only going to work for so long.

It’s important that they repeat what they did last time and get LeBron in foul trouble. Brad Stevens is a brilliant enough coach that could draw up plays to frustrate LeBron and draw charges. It won’t necessarily stop him from producing points, but every minute he’s off the floor will help greatly in their survival.

After LeBron gets benched, they then need to get Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love out of their usual rhythms. These two have been nothing short of amazing these playoffs and will do their damage should LeBron be sent to the bench.

The next item in their long list is having Marcus Smart repeat what he did in Game 3. His all-around performance back then did more than filling the Isaiah Thomas-sized hole in their game. If Smart gets his first shots in, we could be see Boston force a Game 6 in Cleveland.

We can ramble on and on about what Boston should do or not do, but their fate really rests in the hands of one person. Unfortunately, that person won’t be wearing a green jersey.
