Celtics Stuff Live! Tonight, Pre-game @ 6:30PM.

The way I see it, the challenges of the concluded Atlanta series  
should well prepare the Celtics for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After waltzing through the last month of the season, any lingering bad  
habits were exposed and overcome.

Aside from the meltdown in the last three minutes of game 6, in which  
the team almost overcame a surreal 47-25 foul shooting deficit, there  
wasn't much not to like in games 4-6, except perhaps the fans chanting  
of "U-S-A, U-S-A," at Za Za Pachulia in the later stages of game 7.

While skeptics can still point to the bad decisions in the later  
stages of  game 6 and question whether the team can compete in the  
closing minutes of tight games, particularly on the road, those with a  
broader vision will remember the games in San Antonio and Dallas,  
which yielded the opposite result.

According to coach Rivers, as attested by Peter May in Today's Globe ,  
the team is ready.

  [quote]    ....preparation. "When Cleveland went up, 3-1, we put  
away the Washington file," Rivers said. "As for our preparation, we  
were done three days ago. The players all had booklets in their  
lockers after [Game 7]. I don't know if they read them or not, but  
judging by what happened at practice, I think most of them did."[/quote]

Tonight, Justin and I will  move to the second round of our playoff  
experience and look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Cavs, as  
well as provide the latest news from the Celtics camp.
