Cavaliers (0-1) vs Celtics (1-0) ECF Game #2 5/15/18

Kyrie wanting out of Cleveland officially might have gotten us to the finals now

This. Not playing for us... doesn’t matter. He’s not playing for them.... matters.

What a game. We took their best punch early and stayed composed.

Smart just earned his contract by that single act of standing up for Al..

Yeah, that was amazing. Championship teams need that sort of edge.

I'm telling you, we're keeping Smart and trading Rozier.

treat game 3 like game 7. if we win game 3 THEY WILL QUIT!

[kraidstar]

I'm confused though, was it another feel-out game for LeBron?

LOLOLOLOL

The new media narrative will be the neck injury and the surrounding talent.

We'll be ignored again, but that is just fine.

Got to admit, his "oh look I'm injured and I'm agonizing in pain" strategy is smart : if he wins, they'll say he gutted it out, and if he loses they'll say he was hurt. Did the same thing with his elbow in 2010 against the Celtics.

By the way, great game from Smart and nice of Al to bring it in crunch time after having a terrible offensive game !

I'd totally forgotten about that....

Good lord, what a weasel

Yeah. Even if they don't quit, if we win game 3 they are done.

LeBron brought his A-game. Kevin Love actually played well and the Celtics still won.

The media may look at the macro three-point shooting, but they should know by now counting on any Cavs player besides Korver to consistently play well is stupid given the season we just watched.

I think we employed the same strategy, let Lebron do his thing and try to contain the rest of his team

I honestly think the defense tonight was better than G1. Other than a few hiccups between Rozier and Baynes on Love, I don't remember a bunch of spot-up looks for Cleveland. They did an excellent job.
