Game 3 of this series today and Boston lead the series by 2-0 right now. So it's not hard to say that today's game is a must win game for the Cavs, as if they end up trailing in the series by 0-3 against Boston, this season will be over for them. All the hope of Cleveland is on Lebron's shoulders, he is the key for the Cavs and if a superstar like him is shooting 19% from the field, there is no way his team can win a series against the regular season champions. Lebron shot an combined of 8-42 FG in the two games at Boston and this is  the worst for the first two games of a series by a player with 30 attempts since Joe Fulks shot 17.6 percent in 1948 with the Philadelphia Warriors. Besides that Lebron also committed 17 turnovers in these two games and the bookies and the public expect a bounce back from him today, as the Cavs opened as favorites for this game by 1.5 points. Actually the line is now at 2 points and this won't be an impossible task for Cleveland, as frankly Lebron can't play worse than he did in Boston. However there are some things that favor the Celtics in here.

First of all, Boston will give an importance to this game different from the usual playoff road game, as this is a statement game for them, because they lost the three road games they played in the series against Atlanta in the first round of the playoffs. On the other side, a lot of people are talking how this will be a re-edition of the series between the Cavs and the Pistons last season, where the Cavs were 0-2 down when they played their first game at home in the Game 3, but there is something nobody has talked yet, as this is the first time a team has defended Lebron so well since... the Spurs won last season's playoffs final last season without dropping a single game! So Lebron is the keymaker for this game and everything will rely on him if the Cavs still want a shot to win this series.
