Can the Cleveland Cavaliers bounce back in Boston? The Donovan Live Postgame Show

Jim Donovan and Dave "Dino" DeNatale take a sneak peek at Tuesday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals as the Cavaliers look to even the series in Boston.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will go back to work tonight in Boston for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Here's hoping they come out much more energized and with a better plan to shut down the Celtics. Because what we saw on Sunday was downright brutal. Boston just outworked the Cavs on both ends of the floor, playing the Princeton offense at ease and holding LeBron James in check.

I think we all expect a much better game from James come Tuesday evening. Think back to what Jim Donovan and I have talked about this postseason: The Cavaliers will beat teams if LeBron James scores at least 35 points, or if at least 5 players are in double figures. I would think LeBron will try to be more of a scorer than a distributor off the bat, especially if Tristan Thompson is in the starting lineup.

Jimmy and I discuss what the Cavs have to do to be successful, plus we look ahead to the Western Conference Finals, which saw Golden State grab Game 1 from Houston on the road.

We had some fun on the show with Hue Jackson's announcement that he will jump in Lake Erie next month, keeping his promise that he made before last season should the Browns not do better than 1-15.

I have to be honest, initially I thought the coach was taking the easy way out out by not jumping into the water when it was colder. But thanks to a report from Pat McManamon of ESPN.com, I certainly can understand why a man with a heart condition would be best advised to not go into freezing water.

We also talked about how the changing mood of Browns fans is resulting in busier ticket sales. It's interesting to look back on the first 5 months of this year that began with the 0-16 parade, through trades and free agency, and the draft. People are excited. And that's a good thing.
