This Isn't Game 6 Boys, it's Game 7

"We're going to treat Thursday Night as if it's game 7. We can't come back here."

You're right KG, you can't.

Losing tonight's Game 6 would be a humungous blow to the Celtics momentum.

The keys to winning tonight are either:

A.) Rajon Rondo: He needs to have as big of a game as he had in Game 4. The triple double may be a little too much to ask for, but if he's grabbing rebounds, dishing out passes, and driving to the basket, the Celtics could take this series.

B.) The Big Three: Like in Game 5, the Big 3 came together and equally produced to get the win. KG needs to get his typical 18 pts and 6 rebounds, Ray needs to get hot behind the line, and Pierce needs to hit jumpers and attack the basket when we need him.

C.) Bench Production: Big Baby scored 15 points off the bench in Game 5 . Tony Allen scored 15 off the bench in Game 4. Rasheed had a big game in Game 2. All wins for the Celtics. To win this series, one of these 3 bench players need to produce points off the bench.

D.) Silence The King: This could possibly be Lebron's last game as Cavalier, and there's no way he'll go out without a bang. Like last Friday nights blowout, the Celtics can't allow the Cavs to shoot 70%, and King James to look invincible. If Lebron starts off the game like a maniac, it will be a bad sign. The Celtics need to hack him when attacking the paint, and force him to shoot free throws with his bad elbow. It also slows down the pace of his game.

The Celtics need to win this game. And if they don't, at least they've shown they can win away from their court. But don't look for the Cavs to roll over and die in Game 7, like in Game 5.

Tonight's the night boys. Let's get this win. And bring on the Orlando Magic. Go C's.
