Wishing Dejounte Murray a full recovery. Injuries, especially torn Achilles, suck so much :(

Idc that was an amazing game and an epic win for our boys. They did absolutely nothing wrong and it’s a blessed day to escape from the Smoothie King arena with the W.

Rainbows ! Paradise! Go to the light, Carlito!

Another quality Kornet game and heck even Springer played 2.5 seconds, demonstrating how vital a part of the rotation he is!

Murphy was so efficient in this game and they lost because Murphy missed in the clutch.

Went 15-20 from the field and 8-12 from 3pt land.

But Murphy's last 2 misses cost the Pels the game.

Missed FT and an airball 3 from Murphy opened the door for the Cs.

So it's not just about elite scoring and efficiency.

SGA scores 52 and OKC lost.

Murphy scores 40 and Pels lost.

There's more to NBA basketball than just efficiency.

Pressure is real.

Just ask Nick Anderson.

Having more games like this only makes the Cs better at handling pressure.

Most fckd up thing about this team is if someone starts missing FT's then others do the same.
Like that KP dunk.How can you not review that crap
Somehow refs get worse game by game.Murphy turns into Brooks 2.0 making everything and even more.
Thank god we dont play then until next year

I will take the win. But.....

It took a buzzer beater to beat a 12-36 team without their top 3 players (Ingram, Zion and Murray).

Up until a few weeks ago, I was calling this team average. I overestimated the Celtics.

Like 12-15 players this year have had their best 3 point shooting games ever against the Celtics. There comes a time you have to make someone else shoot.

Unbelievable coached game by Joe..he took this band of low talent misfits and pulled out an epic victory.. like ONLY he can.. His genius and motivation knows no equal.

Where would we be without Joe??

Am I doing this right??

If I had not watched the game and saw all the guys NOP had out and saw we only won by two points on a game winner I'd probably be shaking my head and thinking it was a terrible win lol. But I swear those Pels dudes were balling out and it really wasn't the C's fault for the most part.

Trey Murphy out there hitting crazy shots all night on good defense and best case scenario is you hit a game winner and get out of there with the W. After his first few buckets we were guarding him really tight and he was hitting anyway.

Another badly coached game. A lot of players playing with little effort. Not all on Joe but a combination of Joe and the players. Tatum and Brown refuse to play defense. Brown's defense has slipped this year. Al has probably played 5 good games all season.

Pritchard's chances of winning 6th man this year is getting lower and lower by the week. He has been inconsistent over the past 6 weeks. Hunter from the Hawks has been the best 6th man hands down of late.

Sadly, Al always plays hard.I give him his credit for that.But I don't think he's good any more.

I would personally give it to Ty Jerome but that's just personal opinion. He has been unbelievable for the Cavs.

TY is hardly ever the 6th man though
