Credit to BOS. They played with heart, effort, intensity. If CLE gonna play like this in Games 3 and 4, might as well just call it and LBJ just announce where he's playing next cuz I'd want him to leave.

We never had a shot after halftime. Cavs got drunk at the half and phoned it in. Lue is an idiot where he's playing guys who clearly don't want to be out there. Green, JR, Hill were horrendous. I'd rather have Cedi, Clarkson, Hood, Nance out there making mad mistakes, at least we know, they might just hustle. But then again, when LBJ just playing his 1 man zone on defense, it makes are already terrible defense, really really terrible.

Just painful to watch when Cavs play bad, they look like bottom 5 team.

JR 0 for 7 in game 2 and 2 for 9 in game 1.

A ban will probably help the Cavs. The guy has been invisible this entire series.

Please. LeBron owns Raptors soul, they can add Boogie Cousins somehow and still get swept as long as Demar and Lowry are on the roster. :lol:

Outside of LeBron, no one on the Cavs can be counted on to contribute on a consistent basis..

JR Smith 0-7 FG
George Hill 1-4 FG
Jeff Green 2-5 FG, 5 TO, -18

Boston's clearly the better team, but Cleveland didn't put up a fight collectively. I'm including Lue in that critique as well.

The passing of the torch in the East?

Still just two games but this doesn't look good for Cleveland.

Quite possibly true. This summer there could be major movement of real talent. He may still have another run if he plays it right.

If Boston wins, that series will go at least 5.


I guess if the Warriors get complacent maybe.

Well the Cavs are gonna have to win 4 of 5 games now to win this series. LeBron's got his work cut out for him to say the least, but if there was ever a set up for a series that could trump his performance against the Pacers and Raps this would be it. It doesn't feel like he's got the supporting cast to pull it off.

I wonder how much that injury to Lebron had an impact on this result. Lebron didn't play the same since he came from the locker room.

LeBron 42/12/10, 16 of 29, 5 of 11 on threes. Yet it isn't enough. Wow.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Hood has to feel like ****, he probably thought he had a shot at some 20M/yr deal from the Jazz when Hayward left, I can't see any team even offer half of that, maybe not even a third of that.
