64-Games in the Regular Season doesn't matter now.
They did have 3 Key Players OUT. But, yeah, they choked it in ty\he end.

Why didn't the Cavs coach remind his players to box out that pesky Nesmith!

That was the turning point of the game.

Cavs were leading by 7 at that point.

And it was only 1 mistake that led to the choke of the Cavs.

Cavs were leading 119-112 before Nesmith ran that missed FT by Siakam for a follow-up dunk.

That's still a 5 point lead with 47 seconds and the Cavs have the ball.

Teams have come back from being down 2 games. Cavs are capable of that and it was a stupid loss. This can go to 6-7 games easy

Yep. No argument here. Cavs had it; they were coasting.


On another note:
Cavaliers and OKC are the only ones that would have Homecourt over us.

Sometimes we need a pesky player like Nesmith. An instigator. We have good guys and softies in hauser and kornet. One tough guys we have doesn’t play in Craig!

Yeah, but 5 points is 2 possessions while 7 points is 3 possessions.

That dunk by Nesmith opened the door.

Since Hauser is injured, maybe we will see Craig get some minutes tomorrow.

Let’s be honest though the cavs are not healthy and they really choked this game away just like the celtics yesterday. These teams are brain dead.

Like I kept telling you, the playoffs will be different and that includes health.

No NBA team goes through an 82-game schedule and playoffs and not suffer injuries.

Point is it was premature to crown the Cavs and OKC, in January, as the ones going to the NBA Finals in June.


What’s our excuse? We are superior to the Knicks I feel.

Hope so. We need guys that have a chip on their shoulder. Those are the guys that work hard and hustle inside. We are getting out hustled by guys like bridges and hart.

That was Nesmith making a play, and getting away with the early jump.

Mitchell elbowing Nesmith out of frustration, is much harder to excuse.

No excuses.

JT's laziness and bad judgement cost the Celtics a playoff game.

Ty Jerome with a very helpful 2 points in 28 mins. So I guess he can't replace Garland yet.

All the Celtics cost the game. Nobody brought their A game.
