when people start moaning about the calls, boston can point out they got two techs for a Cavs player losing his head and starting a shoving match.

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.



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.


Literally has nothing to do with what I’m talking about.

That’s how I feel seeing most of the Cleveland players at home.

Lebron scoring a will doesnt matter when your team cant play defense on the other end

LBJ gassed and just loafing around there. I just don't get him sometimes. Cavs offensive sets are just straight trash and Lue just staring at the floor.

CLE just playing lazy and look not motivated like they just want this to go 7 or something or hell, just pack it up in Game 6.

It's not bad defense when the other team just makes shots. Good defense or bad defense, better offense always wins.

honestly find this taunt rule so weird. most other sports no one would care what morris said and Nance would be ejected.


Morris stood over and taunted, which is a tech because it led to an altercation.
Nance shoved Morris, which is a tech
Rozier walked over and shoved Nance, escalating a fight, which is always a tech.

Jayson Tatum also tripped and got a Wade style 2 shot foul, putting CLE's hottest player on the bench with a minute left in the quarter strteching out Boston's lead.

as for the taunting thing, I know of no other sport where two players would be given the same punishment, one for saying something and the other for pushing another from behind.

every sport I watch nothing would happen to morris and Nance would have been ejected from the game.

Point being, when you play hard, things break your way, like diffacult shots bouncing in and questionable calls going your way.

That 3 by Baynes are the kind of shots that annoy the hell out of me. They are literally only good if they go in, doesn't matter how open he was with better offensive players on the floor.

I honestly don’t know where Morris got this anger issue. He used to be not like that back in Houston. Humble, quiet guy. I understand it’s the playoffs, you go tough, get into opponents head, but yelling in the face of TT and staring down Nance after a hard foul should not be encouraged.

You taunt after a block, a facial dunk, not committing a reckless foul that could seriously hurt someone. Just walk away.

He has shown that he can hit them in the playoffs. Would be worse for the team if they create open looks only to have a capable shooter pass it away.
