[knuckleballer]

Back within 10!  12 point run

Don't give up, guys.

EIGHT POINT DOWN!!!!!

This is why you tank. What the hell is the point of this execution? Stevens should be fired this is an embarrassing moment to a once proud franchise. Just give up now. Walk off the court and give the series to Cleveland and save the fan base the embarrassment.

the only thing embarrassing is ur posts.

82 to 66...that's not embarrassing?

82-74 on their homecourt is not embarassing. #FAIL

Never seen Kyrie Irving post up before.

I don't think it is worth going away from an offense as lethal as Cleveland's in order to use an action (post up) by a player never plays there. Just play normally. Kyrie's size advantage over Isaiah will show naturally when Kyrie drives, passes over the top and shoots over the smaller player. No need to go away from the offense.

SWEDISH LARRY BIRDDDDDD!

[kozlodoev]

We could have been picking in the top 5. But nooo we had to make Stevens happy. This is embarrassing!

Like last year, yeah? How's Marcus Smart working out for you, he's mashing the Cavs singlehandedly out there, isn't he?

Banks 2.0 was the wrong pick. Should have taken Randle or traded up for Exum. Both have super star ceilings. The one we are stuck with is currently getting abused by Kyrie and has the ceiling of Tony Allen and the floor of Banks.

Of course. And when the 5th pick from this season sucks, he'd be the "wrong pick" too. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

where all the haters now?

[Neurotic Guy]

 Jonas getting dissed for not being Larry Bird.

[CelticSooner]

Alright, it's officially starting to look like the massacre I was afraid we were going to get in this series.

Hooray, we made the playoffs guys.

This is always what happens when a team with a below .500 record makes the playoffs.  Always a massacre.  Happened in 2004.  The games weren't even watchable. 

Fwiw, I was fine with making the playoffs. 9th pick vs 16th pick probably will not matter.

Some persons lack long term memory. You have to understand.

Tp.  Forgot they were that bad.

[Shamrocker]

Keep this unit in for the duration.

The sad part is that the Cavs aren't even playing all that well.

47.5% from the field. 44% from 3. All above their season averages. How are they not playing that well?

You're kind of proving the point -- the Cavs aren't executing that well or anything, they're just beasting the boards and overcoming the Celtics with 1 on 1 talent.
