One more game

That’s fine for now. But come Sunday, the real big game will be played. The Boston Celtics are going to win Game 7 as long as they don’t beat themselves. Any realistic performance LeBron has can’t win a game in Boston. The Celtics have been lights out at home. Why doubt them now? For LeBron James, who hasn’t come close in three tries?

Next: Game 7 will be the Jayson Tatum show

As long as Brad Stevens and company sticks to what has guided them through this run, everything will be okay. To advance to the NBA Finals, all the Celtics have to do is what they have done for weeks now. Protect the Garden. Feed off the best fans in the world. Look right into LeBron’s eyes and give him all you got in the biggest game you have ever played. It’s time to see what June basketball looks like, and I don’t mean Summer League.
