Celtics 100 @ Cavs 111 Postgame Notes (2-2)
Boxscore: http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=401032843
First off: credit to Korver and Lebron. They were clutch as **** in a must win game for Cleveland.
This was an incredibly frustrating game. We had numerous chances to make it competitive but I believe the closest we came was within seven points. We couldn't get over the hump. Our youth and our consistent poor play in away games (no doubt they are closely related) has really hurt us over these past two games.
Game five is a must win for both teams. I don't know what to expect honestly. The past four games mean nothing now and its anyone's **** game.

The Cleveland crowd will get to shower the King with MVP chants one more time. Other than that, same end result to this series.

Re: Celtics 100 @ Cavs 111 Postgame Notes (2-2)
Gonna be a lot of overreactions to this one. Cavs just held serve at home. If the C's can take care of business in Boston like they have been doing (9-0 these playoffs with two easy wins against this Cleveland team) then they're going to be playing in the Finals. We've got one more chance to take a road game and then the decisive game 7 is on our home court so you've gotta feel pretty good about our chances. That's all that matters.

Re: Celtics 100 @ Cavs 111 Postgame Notes (2-2)
At some point Brad and the Celtics need to make some **** adjustments or nut up so they're not down by 20 points after the first quarter. It feels like this **** has happened at least 5 or 6 times in the playoffs this year.

Offense is trash. It's taken a long time to catch up to them. Ten fewer turnovers and they were never really in it

Re: Celtics 100 @ Cavs 111 Postgame Notes (2-2)
I try not to **** on the refs too much but that foul on the Morris 3 might be one of the worst calls in NBA history.
Oh and **** Embiid

Re: Celtics 100 @ Cavs 111 Postgame Notes (2-2)
Not going to pretend to be happy about any part of what we just saw. But, at the risk of spouting platitudes instead of substance, to me the tale of these last two games had about 10% to do with skill and 90% to do with mentality. I see a team not willing to take open threes in key moments, peferring instead to dribble themselves into trouble, boinking dunks and missing layups, and losing every 50/50 ball.
Ugly, ugly stuff, that's certainly going to need some brutally tough love to hammer out of us. But, all fundamentally fixable.

I'm digging a pissed off Jaylen Brown. If we get the 4th quarter JB for healthy portions of the next game, I'm really liking our chances.

It doesnt matter how the looked, they outscored them in those 3 quarters.
So maybe if they didnt **** the bed about 6 minutes into the game they wouldnt of let this one get away

Re: Celtics 100 @ Cavs 111 Postgame Notes (2-2)
If anything I'm more frustrated that this isn't the game we got for Game 3. Gotta hope that the Celtics keep taking advantage of their home court advantage going forward or we're toast.

Re: Celtics 100 @ Cavs 111 Postgame Notes (2-2)
Oof, this was frustrating. The win was within reach but it seemed every time we got close we made the wrong play and gave up one offensive rebound after the other. Strange 4th quarter substitutions too. Oh well... Let's get back to home mode and take care of business.

It would've been sweet to take one on the road, but it didn't happen (yet.)
So just keep holding serve. I wanna see Shane Larkin make the Finals.

We’ll shoot better in game 5 and come out on top.

Can't believe I just read that this team lacks sack. Literally one of the craziest takes I have ever read on this forum.

Re: Celtics 100 @ Cavs 111 Postgame Notes (2-2)
This wasn't a game 3 scenario, they made adjustments in the 2nd half and they clearly worked. The Celtics won games 1 and 2 by a combined 38, the Cavs won games 3 and 4 by 39. Both team did what they were supposed to do, anyone calling the series for the Cavs based off of those two games are pretty ridiculous.

Do or die Game 5 at home. This is why you push to get HCA.
