Even though this this time they fell by just five points against the Cleveland Cavaliers (74-69) the Boston Celtics road struggles should have their fans worried.
This time Lebron James scored 32 points - 19 in the second half - to force a decisive Game 7 in Boston. But even if they defeat the Cavaliers, and I’m pretty sure they will, the Celtics and their fans can’t be feeling confident of what might happen once they meet the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals.
The Pistons are not the Cavaliers. Even though they lack a real superstar their bench is deeper and they have already proven (against the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic) that they can win on the road. If the Pistons  steal a victory at the Boston Garden the series might very well be over right there and then. After all, if the C’s were not able to win in Cleveland, they definitely are less prepared to go to Detroit and win one there.
The Celtics’ problems on the road are not only on the deffensive side  of the ball.  They lost the three road games in Atlanta, and game three in this series because their defense let them down. However, the Celtics’ defense only allowed 88 points in the game four loss against the Cavs, and in game six their defense played a lot better.
No team should lose, when they hold their opponents to only 74 points, and 32.9 percent  shooting from the field, like they did yesterday. 
The Celtics had no help from anyone on the offensive end, outside of Kevin Garnett. Garnett’s the only player on the Celtics that has been consistent in just all the playoff games up to this point, even in most of the losses, but the other two parts of the Big Three have been very inconsistent at best.
Paul Pierce and Ray Allen will have to step their game up, not only to win in game seven but to have real chances againts the Pistons in the next round.
