Game 1 - Celtics Win

Good Day,
Half way through the 2nd quarter, it was apparent that the Celtics-Cavs game was going to be hard to watch. 2 teams, only separated by the color of their uniform, creating a masterpiece of tough minded defense and poor offensive execution. The "king" missed several layups (eerily similar to the game 5 miss against the Wizards), finishing 2-18 from the field. Maybe this was a hangover from the 4th place finish in the MVP race. The quotes included "heavyweight fighters throwing nothing but body punches" and "tremendous defensive intensity". Unfortunately, the prognosticators are way off base...... The reason stems from their respective issues in the first round with the Hawks and Wizards.
The Eastern conference was supposed to be a simply Pistons v. Celtics with the other 6 teams just collecting playoff checks. The Celtics are learning that their road to the championship is littered with potholes and other hazards that will cause long term damage to their chances if they do not perform at a higher level soon than later. For those wearing green, best to be worried that the Cavs will not only steal Game 2 but the series as the "king" and his jesters will be a tough out.
