There's just no reason that JR Smith should be getting any decent minutes let alone more than Korver. For god sake I know that Clarkson has been horrific but at least he can try and get to the rack unlike Smith who's only talent is bricking contested jumpers.

I love how the Celtics still aren't jumping around and shadowboxing each other. Keep the focus. They know this is far from over.

There's literally nothing more LeBron can do. Time with Cavs is up. They had two gears with Irving and James, now they just have one and that won't get it done in the playoffs. Can't see them getting anything to fix the mess of lazy players they have

I'll admit so far I didn't think we would be down 0-2.

But considering how different Boston plays on the road, we could easily be coming back to Boston 2-2, and all the Cavs have to do is win one in Boston. Still not going to be concerned yet.

Only a true great can really put a roster like what the Cavs have now in position to compete for a chip.. I don't even think a prime Shaq could do that, and I personally think prime Shaq is the most unstoppable force to ever grace the NBA hardwood.


I really disagree with this. (although he wasn't already top 3 with you? after 2016?) but this season has not been a good look for him. he's not playing against stacked super teams where it's so unfair, his team is shelling out millions for this team, he's had a hand in players like Kyrie leaving, and then turning the IT trade into peanuts.

he's playing a team which is not built with any superstars, it's using team ball and working hard, LeBron has often looked a lot this play-offs not that he just doesn't need his teammates help, but that he doesn't want their help. that's beginning to show in the way this team is expressing itself.

As awesome as it is to watch Celtics this last two games it is so depressing that Kyrie is not out there.

Ill be shocked if LBJ doesnt mail it in soon. Guy throws up a 40 point+ triple double and still loses by double digits. Hes so gone.

LeBron is great. But his teammates other than Love cannot keep up with the Celtics.

Regardless of the competition in the East, this Celtics playoffs run has been amazing. No one expected this.

I have a feeling we'll see a sharp decrease in Cavs/Browns/Indians/OSU flairs on this site.
