Celtics (23-34) at Cavaliers (37-24) Game #57 3/3/15

IT better play the entire 2nd half, just need to work it around him

[jpotter33]

Bradley should've laid James out on that fastbreak. I'm sure the guys would've chipped in to pay his fine.

against the cavs small ball does not work at all

Sully and KO really missed tonight imo

Sully would have made a huge difference this game... it's too bad I really think if he was healthy with the addition of IT we'd have a real shot at the playoffs

Nice pass Turner

[positivitize]

I never thought I'd say this, but I am really missing Jeff Green to defend Lebron.

Crowder just isn't cutting it.

[JOMVP]

Wooooooooow this is a reality check.

We're barely sniffing the playoffs, and the Cavs are clearly the class of the East. This is expected.

Every shortcoming our playoff/lottery team has is being exposed tonight.  sigh.

[Rosco917]

If Labron hit that shot we're taking highlight film stuff

This is one of our worst matchups with no real size... Cavs are huge and Lebron is an animal. Just having a guy like Jordan with a healthy Sully this would probably be single digits... oh and if AB wasn't playing like junk on both ends

KO also. 

Jerebko was on a hot streak. He has come down to earth.

Can't do much outside of crash the basket and score the open 3

Lebron is on another level from players like Curry and Westbrook.

He just broke our team's soul. He's the boogy man.

[GreenWarrior]

this looks like us playing vs every team Lebron has ever played for. same effing crap! their dudes play with their hands all over our dudes or slap at players hands when they drive, so they become discouraged to drive(- hence all the jump shots). then on offense they all hold off the defender with the off-ball hand.

same effing crap! I'm so sick of the fake good Lebron's

I mean, do you remember KG's "screens" during his time here?  It's part of the NBA.

And then there is this: http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2015/03/03/isaiah-thomas-not-worried-about-charges-that-carries-ball/9MmYQWUBp78oHhuQjEyX7I/story.html

the only experience Lebron shared with every team he's played for is - foul on every play, they won't call it.

this is why Lebron hasn't won as much as he should with all the opportunities he's had. because when the games become less n' less and it gets down to 2 teams the microscope comes out and the refs and the NBA would look ridiculous when their largest viewing audience of the season is watching.

KG was one player, if it was just Lebron getting away with crap i'd live with it but when their entire roster gets away with it, it's an unwatchable product.

Again, this looks like every game we've ever played against a Lebron team. the heart on the NBA has for this clown is laughable.

Cue the doomsday/trade everyone/we suck posts lol

I think you need to start IT in the second half with Smart... you need instant offense fast, the first unit isn't going to do it against this Cavs team. Just let IT gun it it's our best hope
