Lol wow the cavs wanted that win badly. I can't remember the last time I saw that many intentional fouls to prevent a 3 in a regular season game

[meatball sub]

jrue is too injured to be effective right now. he needs to sit

[kivancb]

I am not worried at all. We are much better than the Cavs.

This was a refereed loss.

[Celts17Pride]

Good game, great effort and a tough loss

[bucknersrevenge]

Tough game. This is not a hang your head game at all.

[Romeiro Celtic]

Well, it's like they "won" the title. Doesn't matter at all. We beat them up come playoffs time, we know that, they know that. So whatever.

[BRUNiNHO91]

I don’t understand why guys don’t just take normal misses at the line. Never seen that quick intentional miss thing work.

Tatum curled so bad in the 4th compared to Mitchell. Pathetic.

[NYCelticsfan136]

Cavs are so desperate. This team has no one to blame but themselves tonight. Bounce back tomorrow.

[The Corey's]

I think it’s unfair to use Joe’s first year against him.

I don't.

He got put into the job a week before training camp lol

Ya I understand. He also got **** embarrassed in the playoffs with his coaching skills.


That team was prime for a title that year. There's no excuse for it and he was the weakest link.

[Triple7]

Tatum just got punked by Mitchell. Hitting tough shots, while JT missing layups and 5 footers. **** this!

[Patsfan1081]

Horrid crunch time play. Just one game but with how often they’re in these situations you’d hope they clean up and fix these issues.

[TheSheriff]

Not sure I’ve ever a seen a star player be a worse finisher at the rim more than Tatum

Sadly the numbers disagree.

Yeah I don’t care about the numbers. He misses way too many at the rim in crunch time.

He makes a way too many at the rim in crunch time for you to make this comment.

Well deserved L. Cavs hang on to first place for the time being.

You have deserved to become the first poster in C's forum to be added to my ignored list. Way to go buddy.

Brown is so different from him. Outplayed by Mitchell.

[Dangit]

Meh... Two starters out.. Holidays worst game ever.... No need to do the sky is falling stuff here.

Take your pom poms with you.

[redslastlaugh]

concerning loss.

Do we not have a play to create an action for a catch and shoot 3PTA? Have they not practiced intentional missing from the FT line? PP literally did not seem to know the rule.

I hate losing to these guys, Kerr and now Atkinson, they’re so superior. Just a concerning loss

They still had a decent lead going to the fourth. That was a terrible fourth quarter. They need another winning streak.

I've had him ignored for so long that I don't even remember why I originally did it.

[Fierce1]

It was same thing last season every time the Celtics lose.

Even with the loss the Celtics are still 16-4, still better than last season's 15-5.

Credit where credit is due, Mitchell came up big late in the 4th.

But looking at the big picture, the Cavs needed that unbelievable explosion from Mitchell and 2 starters missing for the Celts in order for the Cavs to get the win.
