Can we just please get a big dose of us attacking the rim like we did in game 1.  Good things happen for us when we are aggressive.  Look for layups, dribble drives, or drive and dish.  The cavs are still bad defensively. 

THANK U!

Re-quoted for truth. 

The prob is that the C's are hanging out at the 3 point line and aren't attacking the rim.  If that's the gameplan, credit CBS.  If it's not, then he has to step up, call TO's (as many as it takes) and get the guys to play what works (not just this series but both that preceded this one).

The saving grace of this game is that listening to Jonny Gomes trying to call the Sox game on the other channel is in fact more aggravating.

I 100% agree.  He is painful to listen to.  I'd rather watch the entire draft lottery.

LeBron's been lights out but it feels like we're beating ourselves in this game. Guys have to just play smart basketball. Make the extra pass, take it to the rim, stop turning it over. No more early inn the shot clock threes, no more Marcus Morris fadeaway off balance super contested 3s. Just play smart.

Yeah our shot selection needs to be better.  Not only attack the rim more, but we also need to move on offense more.  Chauncey was saying that the Cavs were playing better def.  I am not sure.  We weren't moving as much.  Cavs are old, make them work on def, move, cut hard, screen hard, be quicker.

yep. cavs suck on D and we are making them look like the 2004 pistons.
LET'S GO CELTICS!

Cavs have eight second chance points, which is the difference in the game right now. Have to stop allowing that.

Our issue is, we've let CLE dictate this whole game.

We've actually weathered quite a bit of their runs. BUT we haven't really gone on a big run of our own. CLE goes up between 9-10 points, we answer with a few quick buckets, then they go on a run of their own. Repeat.

Need to come out firing in the 3rd.

If we can tie it or even go ahead, it may rattle them a bit.

Great to see Tatum start off with a good shot.

Interesting that we're staying small with Morris.
