"Fight or LARRY" going East then West on NBA on TNT for April 21, 2015

#GreenTeam BOSTON (0-1) @
#Believeland CLEVELAND (1-0)  7pm ET NBA on TNT

The Celts must do a better job of not containing LeBron but not letting the other two of Believeland's "K3" the King, Kyrie, and Kevin get off. The C's Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley must do a better job of staying in front of Irving and in the pick and rolls getting the Spalding Orange out of his hands.

The Cavs did a nice job in game 1 of controlling the C's "Bigs" particularly the "Olynyk Clinic" and "Sully". What Olynyk and "Sully" must do in game 2 is not settle for J's and Money balls and attack in and around the paint. That in itself will put a stop to or minimize the Cavs Transition game as it limits runs outs, leak outs, rim runs, and "Splash Plays".

The Mavs just need to settle down and not get caught up in that Shirts and Skins transition game the Rockets love to get teams in. Slow the "Pace" down and force Clutch City to execute in more of a half court game. Game 1 Rockets transition game destroyed the Mavs and kept Red Nation off their fannies.

The Rockets Bench led by Brew Crew" Corey Brewer was huge and the Mavs Bench needs to match that not necessarily in points but effort. Rajon Rondo has to make Jet terry pay for running the PG attacking at will. The Rockets will look more to "Dwight of Three Stripes" to go inside/out and keep Mavs "Big" Tyson Chandler occupied.

I love game two's as the subtle adjustments stick out like a ore thumb then you see how they counter it if it all. Mavs lead man Rick Carlisle is one of the best but Lead Man McHale is fast-becoming a good one. Mavs can ill afford to be down 0-2 heading back to Dallas as you should see urgency from Dirk and company!
