Cavs (3-3) at Celtics (3-4) Game 8 11/14/14

[KeepRondo]

Wow----we lose by ONE Freeking Point----after being completely BUTT-SKREWED by the Refs in the 4th Quarter---That Call when Irving threw the ball out of bounds---and they GIFTED him 2 free throws as HE ran into KO----was AMAZING----All Time History of the NBA FAKE/FIX the game Call-----WOWWWWW---!!

that was a game changer.

[Shamrocker]

3-5 with a lot of positive play over the course of these games.   C's played 3 great quarters tonight and hung in there in the end.  Wish they shot the dang ball on that last possession.

  Great. Another moral victory.

I'm not even going to comment omg

you should.  your opportunity to gloat.

despite an overall great game, a bad play was called that went nowhere, Rondo fumbled the ball and didn't even get a shot off.  that was a bad way to end the game

[KeepRondo]

I'm too emotionally invested in this particular C's team. I'm going to have a stroke if we blow one more big lead like this. Stevens HAS to start stopping these runs either with timeouts or putting the freaking starters back in earlier.

exactly my thoughts. How do you sit your best players for over 9 mins?

Not to mention in the final minute---Bradley gets Fouled going to the hoop (replay showed his right arm being held)---NO CALL....then, LeQueen Elbows Green in the NUTS---NO CALL...and he gets an and ONE when Turner barely grazes him....WOW---These Refs were on the TAKE--!

Rondo didn't do much in those last 6 minutes.  Very frustrating.  Nevertheless, we wouldn't have had that large lead without him.

I blame this loss on the refs and Lebron's dominance on both ends. He is the best player of his generation afterall.

[KeepRondo]

How does KO not score 30? Oh yeah cause Stevens kept him out and iced him.

[celtics24]

I put this one on the coach.  Overdoing it with the subs in the game late in the 4th.  You can't just bring KO back for one offensive possession after sitting for a couple minutes.  Sully sat too long, Rondo didn't come back in soon enough... just terrible.

i 100% agree i swear sully barely plays and rondo keeps getting subbed out..rondo should never have the ball for final possessions he always takes a stupid shot or takes no shot at all i swear..depressing loss

Not a fan of the subs. Ecspecially Rondo.

He didn't come in until almost 6 minutes left. Celtics really could of blown it open and Ronso sat probably 2 minutes too long.

Another choke job. Brad coaching awful once again, how many times is this team going to play to its weaknesses?

Getting worried, very worried.

right and no double the whole fourth.

  I'm starting to miss Doc. Not just for the plays he draws up but for his substitution patterns, bad as they were. The players got out of rhythm and they lost their momentum.

[Beat LA]

17-4 advantage in free throws for the Cavs in the 4th quarter.  Man, that takes me back to the Lakers having a 32-16 edge in free throws in Game 4 of the 1987 NBA Finals, and like the ones we saw tonight, the vast majority of those calls were complete bull.  Sigh.  Paging Earl Strom, paging Earl Strom .

Yeah the best players need to play more minutes. The starters are the best five players on this team by far.
