In today's Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics led the Cavaliers 3-2. Normally, a 3-2 lead is not safe, but the home teams in this series easily won home games with a huge advantage, and Game 7 was in Boston again.

The Celtics have a classic temperament of being weak against the strong, so why is their prospect of defeating the Cavaliers so unsettling?

In today's Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics led the Cavaliers 3-2. Normally, a 3-2 lead is not safe, but the home teams in this series easily won home games with a huge advantage, and Game 7 was in Boston again. People say that it's a away win to actually start a series, but I'm worried that people will add an asterisk to this series because it won't really start even if the series is over.

In theory, the Celtics should be a more awesome sports story in their memory. They are a team of young new stars led by rookie Jason Tatum. Almost no one thinks they are the material for the league championship. And what they are facing is an unprecedentedly great player LeBron James . He has reached the NBA Finals for seven consecutive years. By the way, the Celtics lost their two biggest superstars, Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, both of whom suffered a season-reimbursement level injury. "We have the young and invincible firepower that will overcome obstacles and defeat future Hall of Fame players" It sounds like some sports legend. However, almost all about the possibility of the Celtic winning this series frustrated me.

is partly because it doesn't feel like the Celtics win, but more like the Cavaliers lose. Boston scored 36.5% on the court on Wednesday night but won 13 points. Throughout the season, Cleveland 's offensive problems were very serious, and Boston seemed to be taking advantage of this problem. The Celtics' best defensive strategy is often to guide Cleveland to do the tactics they want, and the result is that Jordan Clarkson (10 of 32 in the series) and JR Smith (9 of 39) have the results they want. "Oh, no!" Marcus Morris yelled at , probably because he was taught "We kept George Hill too big! I hope he won't take action!"

LeBron 's teammates are in a bad series, and James simply don't have enough strength to support them. He looked very tired. When he was 33 years old, he played the most time in NBA, just to bring this lineup to victory. But that's not an excuse for LeBron, he should really be able to beat a team that lacks experience and superstars. It's really sad to see someone working as hard as James and realizing that this is not enough. Part of the reason why

makes me sad is that despite the problems with the Cavaliers, they will still perform better in the finals. The Rockets and Warriors both look much better than any Eastern team. But as LeBron staggers under the burden of a bad team, we've seen the miracles he created in playoffs . Two years ago, he successfully turned the Warriors, which had 73 wins in the regular season, won the championship from a 1-3 score. Any team with LeBron seems to have a chance to fight any opponent. They are actually just as exciting as the Celtics. Because, they have also successfully responded to every challenge in the playoffs so far. So, how can we define them as destined to lose to the Rockets or the Warriors team?

and the Celtics Finals won basically have no chance of winning. They may be disappointed because if Irving and Hayward are in good health, they may still win the finals. But even if he lost, the Celtics had already exceeded the task. James will fight any team in the finals for his legend, because he hopes to leave his final glory on the belt of the Hall of Fame. But it wouldn't be particularly disappointing if a young team led by a rookie lost to the most popular team in the finals. It's like a photo you can put on a memoir with the words "The First Finals of Life".

makes a fool of itself, let's imagine the Celtics defeating the Warriors. This is undoubtedly one of the most surprising finals results ever.This is the material that can be made into a movie: Although a new high-ranking team has many reasons to give up, their players have discovered new talents and jumped to a new height to make a dynasty team. There is only one problem: we are not talking about some traditional weak balls that are full of fighting spirit, easily overlooked. What we are talking about is Boston Celtics . It's like Major League Baseball, the filmmakers did not do any research, and took the script of the Cleveland Indians (weak brigade) and filmed the Yankees (traditional strong team).

Finally we talked about the root cause of my difficulty in supporting Celtics. They are from Boston. You have to know, my boss is Bill Simmons (a big Boston fan). If the Celtics win the most incredible championship of all time, how much work would be every day? God, I swear I will quit.
