Cavaliers vs Celtics Game 4 Look Ahead | Inside The NBA | Who You Think Will Win This Game?



LeBron James and the Cavaliers proved that they weren't about to roll over in a huge Game 3 win over the Celtics on Saturday. Next, they'll try to even the series in Monday's Game 4 in Cleveland.
Cleveland dealt with chaos throughout the regular season -- including unloading half of its roster at the trade deadline -- while Boston had injuries to the two players expected to lead them through the East. Where LeBron James is still playing like LeBron James, the Celtics have found heroics from unexpected places throughout these playoffs, specifically rookie Jayson Tatum.
The Celtics and the Cavaliers survived the Bucks and the Pacers -- respectively -- with both of those first-round series going to seven games. They then steamrolled their Conference Semifinal match-ups, with the Celtics halting The Process in just five games and the Cavaliers banishing the Raptors (again) in a sweep.
Here's what you need to know about these teams going into the Eastern Conference Finals.

Call of Duty WW2

Call of Duty WW2                         Call of Duty :  WWII  pre-review Many of us are old enough to remember a time when the idea of a first-person shooter set during World War II seemed overdone to the point of parody. The first three  Call of Duty  releases took place during World War II, breaking from the tradition with 2007’s  Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare .  Call of Duty: WWII ,  developer Sledghammer Games’ second full release in the franchise, brings us back to that historic conflict as the series begins to eat its own tail on modern hardware. Or maybe this could be seen as a sort of reboot.   Call of Duty: WWII packs in the same ridiculous amount of things to do as past games in the series with a full single-player campaign, many options for multiplayer including   the asymmetrical War game mode , the   new Headquarters social hub   and of cours...

Kirk Douglas  remarkably celebrates his 102nd birthday on December 9, 2018. The three-time Oscar nominee appeared in dozens of movies in a career that spanned decades. But how many of those titles are classics? In honor of his birthday, let’s take a look back at 15 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best. Born in 1916, Douglas kicked off his acting career after serving in the Navy during WWII. He made his film debut with a small role in “The Strange Love of Martha Ivers” (1946). His first Oscar nomination as Best Actor came just three years later for  Mark Robson ‘s boxing drama “Champion” (1949). He earned two more Oscar bids working with director  Vincent Minnelli , first for the Hollywood melodrama “The Bad and the Beautiful” (1952) and again for the  Vincent Van Gogh  biopic “Lust for Life” (1956). The latter film brought him victories at the Golden Globes and New York Film Critics Circle. SEE Honorary Oscars: Full gallery of acting recipients inc...
