In a season where Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have experienced a ton of highs, and not many lows, the few lows have been increasingly magnified. For instance throughout the NBA playoffs, the Cavaliers led by James have been dominant when they win but abysmal at best when they lose. This was never more evident than on Tuesday night as the aging Boston Celtics manhandled the Cavs, defeating them lopsidedly 100 to 88.

Going into the series with the Celtics basketball betting sites had James’s Cavs as the heavy favorite in this series which has proved to be more difficult than expected. Further going into the series, James had publicly criticized the Toronto Raptors, however it appears in each loss that James is feeling like Raptor star Chris Bosh, as he is the only one doing anything and the supporting cast has been silent. If the Cleveland Cavaliers have any chance of forcing a game seven with the Celtics they need a better effort out of the supporting cast as they have been non-existent for the majority of the series. When wagering on NBA championship odds, fans would be safer to pick the Magic to come out of the East as the number two ranked team in the conference appears to be the most dynamic in the NBA. With the difficulty the Cavaliers are experiencing with the Celtics, and perhaps a game seven in the future, it allows for a well rested Magic team to formulate a plan to knock off the winner of the series. By having such widespread talent on the roster, the Celtics appear to be the safer wager for basketball fans wanting a competitive Eastern Conference final, as once Lebron is shut down the Cavaliers enter a manic state.
