Cavs got back in the game on the backs of Nance and Clarkson, never would've guessed

It’s ridiculous. He starts pushing a defenseless player. What do you expect his teammates to do?

Morris obviously said something bad to piss him off lol...yall are something else. Not only did he talk smack, he did it while Nance was on the ground and standing over him...when has Nance ever reacted like this in his career?

Greater expectations, I would say.

Smart should never be shooting unless the Celtics have a 10+ point lead

Lue better make a lineup change at this timeout cuz while we have cut the lead down to 8, BOS looks ready to turn it back into a 16pt lead. We need new blood out there.

But I'm sure Lue and his stubborn self thinks he can ride out this lineup and in the next 2 min, we're gonna bleed points...watch...

Jeff Green needs to sit. He's just useless..He was seriously walking up the court when he came into the game. What a bum.

And George Hill looks like he left his game back in CLE. Man, I am so tired of the inconsistency of this Cavs team the past 4 years. 2nd half of 2014-2015 after we got Timo/JR/Iman might be the best stretch we've played in the LBJ era where we actually looked like a team...
Come at the king, you best not miss...

Meh, you can’t instigate by standing over a player and talking ****...refs should have called a tech right away, and none of the shoving would have happened.

As it was, Morris was taunting, Nance reacted, and Rozier came in and shoved Nance. I think it was called the right way. All three deserved techs.

Celtics defending Lebron really well so far. Not letting him get to the rim

Interesting that Stevens typically takes his TOs after the ball crosses the line. Wonder if it's to prevent steals and immediate shots by defense.

I agree with leaving it at double techs, but a teammate is going to stick up for his teammate. The refs don’t even know what Morris said because they missed it.

right, right, but lebron can drag his balls over draymonds face after knocking him to the ground and then cry about it in the media till green gets suspended. that's all cool.
