Celtics (2-1) at Cavs (1-2) ECF Game #4 5/21/18

[jpotter33]

C's don't deserve this game.  just too stupid.  should be forced to forfeit their paychecks for the game.  that might wake them up for game 5

This has to be one of the dumbest games we've had this year, yet we somehow only have 3 TOs. From the coaching (both rotations and defensive schemes) to the players (dumb shot selection and miscommunication defensively), there have been numerous poor decisions made tonight.

Tristan Thompson sucks against 28 other teams. Why does he always destroy us?

[blink]

One thing is for sure, Stevens has lost all confidence in Monroe

Well him getting torched on def in the last game probably sealed that.

Tristan Thompson is destroying us. Cbs has to counter. I might try Yabu...

Thompson making Lue look like Einstein and Stevens like Gump 😁

We have no answer for him- not sure why Baynes not out there more

Because Lue pulls Thompson every time Baynes is in and runs PnR to get Baynes on James.

[Jack_Frost]

We have no offense. We score only three pointers.. sometimes...

Defense suffer because of offense.

[JHTruth]

watching Smart and Rozier this half, is there really anyone thinking the C's would have difficulty paying the contracts for these 2 in two years?  neither is showing they're any better than a MLE offer if that much

Both look like scrub city. Not sure how much theyll command

[Phantom255x]

Their role players really do look like all-stars at home.

no interior toughness...

Smart has had been about as bad as he can be tonight, though it doesn't really matter as nobody else has played much better either.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but not having Larkin is killing us right now. Rozier and Smart are playing poorly but we have to play at least one of them

sad when we (and the broadcasters) are thinking Larkin would be a help in the playoffs.  he could probably run the offense a bit better (certainly could tonight at least) but if you think the Cavs are feasting on Rozier on defensive switches, they'd be eating Larking alive --> just like they did with IT last year

Low TO's because the ball isn't moving. Everyone forcing their own offense.

Brad deserves as much criticism as anyone for his lack of adjustments from game 3.  Yes we're shorthanded, but our defensive schemes make no sense right now.  68 points is a testament to that.

We can't keep switching guys like Rozier and Tatum on Lebron. It's killing us.

Not just that, but there's somehow been miscommunications between our players even though the plan hasn't changed.  We've left players wide open because we're in hyper-switch mode and getting confused on some of the Cavs action where a switch really isn't warranted.  It's just not working.

[vjcsmoke]

the defense is horrible the turnovers are horrible.

they won't win by giving up 34 points per quarter.

we need better rotations/matchups on defense.

it's a coaching move that's stumping Stevens which bewilders me

[Billz401]

We gotta get our dam heads on straight. Keep it simple
