I swear, even up 20 the rest of the way, I bet Lue plays LBJ 40min.


the bigger rotation even worked really well in the 1st half
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Lol @ officials hating on JR Smith. Gets laid out cutting through the lane and gets called for charge somehow. Next time down the floor clubbed on the arm making a pass and we are going the other way.

And it happens all the time.

Cavs goal right now has to be to play well enough that LeBron doesn't have to come back in.

Cavs letting Jaylen heat up. He has 5 fouls already why not go after him?

And Korver's seems too passive again.

I'm disappointed Boston didn't show up tonight. You can tell they came in with a, "yeah we're up 2-0, we good. we won't lose 3 straight" attitude.

Celtics were due for a poor game. Effort is annoying. PG play has been miserable for Boston.

And, their big issue with Kyrie down is a bailout scorer. No one can make a shot. Very very poor concentration by Boston tonight. Made it easy for the Cavs today. Put no stress on them, which will make game 4 harder to win for Boston.

If it is a wide-open 3, and the lane is contested, I don't ser a problem with it.

But trading an open or lightly contested layup for a 3, even if it is wide-open, is insanity if your name isn't Stephen Curry :lol:

He needs to bring the grass with him to away games.

I hate that too, unless you’re an elite 3 pt shooter - like Curry level elite, you shouldn’t be taking that shot mid game. Go to the rim... Ugh it’s a pet peeve a mine - such a waste of a fast break to end w/ a low percentage shot like that.
