Cavs could have won game 2 if not for the bron exit. he shouldnt have entered in the final minutes as he was clearly shook, committing 2 turnovers, reducing the lead from 11 to 7, creating a lot of momentum for the Cs. Give credit to the celtics they are gritty and never afraid, they are a future dynasty in this league with kyrie, hayward and all the bags ainge has in pocket.

This is why people need to relax. Boston can't win on the road. I made that point when people were freaking out early in the series. They are a few inches from being winless on the road for the entire playoffs. All of the pressure right now is on Boston. They are the team of the future, but in the present they are a very young inexperienced team that goes through long cold streaks. They now have a one game season. They aren't winning in Cleveland. It is play lights out at home or sianara.

People acting like this series is over are crazy. Young players play well at home and the Cavs have to win one of those games. Add in the fact that it's the Celtics playing at home, Cavs need to bring it in Game 5.

This is exactly why I think the Cavs will win besides the absurd amount of calls they get in favor of them at home.


I was worried you lost internet service or something.

Different Cavs team right now defensively . TT showing up big time

Cavs still need shooters to show up in BOS. Scored under 100 in first two games. BOS just scored over 100 in G3 in CLE

With who? Because LBJ is a good passer. Love is a good passer. You can find yourself on the wrong end of a 3 on 2 real quick.

Ballerhogger wrote:Again Boston had rozier on Lebron CAN NOT happen .. seriously
Cavs were running multiple screens to get that matchup. Little the Cs could do at the 3PT line but when Lebron was getting it in the block they finally started executing a quick switch to get a bigger body like Horford or Brown on him.

Doesnt matter too much anyway. When Lebron is intent on getting to the rim, very few ppl can stop him. Morris is one who can be successful at times, but he was in foul trouble early and consequently playing passive D on Lebron late.

Starting to not like Brown. "I guess they're allowed to be more physical on their home court". This is the playoffs and Boston shot just as many free throws as the Cavs. And Brown and every Celtic defender puts hands on LeBron on almost every possession.

Celtics young players are almost disadvantaged by what they get away with at home tbh. The hand check. They wrap in the post. That's just on defense.
