Cavs vs. Celtics

[Patrick Bateman 3,903]

Al may have just put it away with a potential 5 point possession....

[PittsburghTiger 6,136]

Thompson, Hill and Smith have a combined 11 points.

[Hornin04 260]

[BigOrange1 6,416]

It's fucking over..... Cavs with a deer in the headlights look.  Boston is in their heads... they need some home cooking bad.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Al Horford > every Cleveland player not named LeBron.

Having 3 players from their trade deadline deals on the court simultaneously is grounds for LeBron's immediate firing.

Fixed it for the truth.

[PittsburghTiger 6,136]

the only way I could ever root for anything from Cleveland is if they were somehow playing the State Pen Nambly Lions in any sport.

[BigOrange1 6,416]

horford just outrebound 4 cavs for that ball.

[Patrick Bateman 3,903]

Jeff Green sucks..... plays no defense.  No fucking grit to that guy.... soft as shit.

No need, LeBron will probably take his leave voluntarily the way this is going.

[Hornin04 260]

fucking team just stands around watching Boston score.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Great display of heart there Cleveland. Just ushering Rozier to the rim.

 

 

[Robin Masters 122]

I always love watching Cleveland lose its fight. No one wants to go to war for Lebron/Lue.

Stick a fork in this one

Marcus Smart is living in the head of possibly every Cav except James

Love with 22 points. he helped but the rest of the crew sucked.

[immortal13 4,059]

Haha fuck the Cavs

Lue clapping in the background is perfect.

JR is 2-16 from the field in the series thus far.  0-7 tonight and 0-7 from 3 in both games...... That's probably a frustration foul.

Playing next to LeBron in an auxiliary role has made most people forget that he's one of the dirtiest players in the league.

Also, where can I find statistics for most games shooting 0-6 or more from 3? JR has to be that stat's Kareem.

[Pam Cummings 9,553]

Love Bron but I definitely think the C's in the finals would be good. Only team that has the talent/experience/execution to hand the Warriors more than 1 loss in a series. 

[PittsburghTiger 6,136]

James: 42 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and he was -9 for the game.

Korver had a great first half.   Didn't really do shit after.

[Patrick Bateman 3,903]

So one of the reasons given for the Cavs getting stomped in game 1 was the 3 other starters (besides Love and Lebron) gave them only 14 points.... Ty Lue decides some stategery is in order, inserts Tristan in the starting lineup.  The lil' 3 score 11 points tonight... starting backcourt of JR and Hill???  1-11 for 3 points and 2 assists.

[HookEm 2,441]

Boston in 5. Philly was better than the Cavs top to bottom and Boston dispatched them.

People are continually underrating Horford. He has been great in these playoffs. Tatum is great. Brown is great. Their players rise to the occasion as a unit. One goes down, another steps right in.

I'm not saying... I'm just saying.

[Brothahorn 10,085]

Love had 22 and Korver had 11. That's how you beat LBJ. Make him carry the team. He is not going to outscore Boston.

[aggie08 21,380]

I really hope Boston wins this series. Both of teams would very possibly be swept in the Finals, but at least Boston will put up a fight in doing so.

Looks like he deserved his all-star spot

[Hornin04 260]

So pissed watching this team.  Part of me wants to say LeBron should have done more despite his crazy stat line.  

[Wally Pryor 5,240]

Korver epitomizes Cleveland defensively.  A statue.   

Won't win now at the highest level.

He did all he could.  Surrounded by a bunch of spares.

Yep. I'm over the idea of LeBron dragging a sack of potatoes to a gentleman's sweep (if that).

[Patrick Bateman 3,903]

Love gave 22 and 15 with 1 turnover..... He did his job but Cleveland has no other scorers or guys that can get their own shots.  All Boston did is protect home court but the Cavs don't give one confidence they are up to the challenge this year.  We'll see but Saturday is do or die.

[Wally Pryor 5,240]

Van Gundy was spot on as usual 4 minutes into Game 1.  One team clearly better than the other.

Nonsense.  Lebron did all he could and may have been possibly concussed while doing so.  The rest of the team are just gutless, fat, and happy pussies.  Thank goodness for 2016.

Cleveland is dangerously close to having LBJ check out on this series.  If the Cavs are trailing at half in Game 3 and come out cold, he might just quit on the floor.

I know, I know... that's just the state of this Cavs team.  LeBron or nothing.  Don't know how they can improve this team enough to keep him in Cleveland.  Somehow land Paul George?  And who else?

[Chult86 335]

Even if they come back to win this series, LeBron is gone. Cleveland is a hot mess of shit. Zero positive contributions from anything that resulted from the Kyrie trade.

Certainly possible and it's happened before.  He probably also knows that even if the Cavs rally to win the series, GS is going to run them (or Boston) off the floor.

That’s all I’ve been saying (and getting neg bombed for it) for two days. I said that Celtics would win in the last thread, I called them winning in this thread, and I simply pointed out that they’ve been better than Cleveland the entire season. Glad the other 95% of this site is suddenly seeing what’s been right there all along.

I think LeBron still remembers 2011, and won't repeat that mistake again.

They're capped out. They needed good luck in the lottery to have a chance.

[Slade 263]

Boston is just a grittier, tougher team and Marcus Smart is like their spirit animal. He doesn't have a consistent jump shot but whenever there's a "basketball play" that needs to be made he's always there.

I have literally (yes literally) been negged a dozen times in the last two days for making posts saying exactly what you said, nearly word for word. It turned into a typical Derka, big, gay kerfuffle, with people shit-talking me and negging me for days for literally saying what you said. Those same people like to say that it’s impossible to converse with me and circle jerk each other, when I’m the one talking hoops and they are starting fights and trying crows source me. It’s confounding and stupid.

And that is why he will never be the true GOAT.

It's about the heart, mental aspect.
