to make matters worse, 2 texts from cavs fans—-😐

Wow.

I miss Kyrie. I miss Gordon.

Jaylen no showed. Rozier stunk up the joint. A choke job.

I understand missing kyrie, but gordon has played 5 minutes for us...hard to "miss" him

[liam]

If the Celtics shoot 20% on 3's they win this. Tough lose. Good night everyone great thread, great season. Thanks to everyone!

[GreenWarrior]

LeBron didn't beat us distance did. sick of seeing a brad stevens coached team lose at the end of a season because they can't make a jump shot.

get jump shooters in here or get the guys that are here to start driving to the basket.

another 3-2 series lead blown to lebron??

DISGUSTING

Looks like it .

eff this. we won 3 games convincingly and this is what we got in game 7? i'd rather been swept

and wait for next year with everybody back. how can u play this stupid?

Same, and as for that one possession with the consecutive misses from three as if no other shot was available, well, analytics . Morons. These guys just don't get it.

we are such a stupid team

now the lebron blowing commences disgusting

how do u give lebron this game

HE DID NOT EARN ****

I hate these posts. Give this team credit.
We lost in the last minutes of game seven of the ECF aganist the best player ever (behind MJ)  without our best players.
No team can do what we have done this year.
And we found an all atar in a 20 year rookie.
This is a wonderful season

Exactly.

LeBron needed 7 games, and a terrible game for us to get thru. It took Rozier and Brown clanking shots for him to get past us. And even then, we were in that game until the last minute.

It's understandable that it's disappointing, but we had one heck of a season, and there's a lot to be proud about, and to look forward to.

Can't wait to see Kyrie and Gordon with this team.

the MSM does not give two craps about that they will say LEBRON IS GREAT FOR ANOTHER 3-2 comeback againt celtics  they wont say we choked it away

this series shoulda never went 7 thats why u finish these guys early.

[CelticsElite]

Potapenko and Posey are assistant coaches for the cavs? Wow

[CelticsElite]

Wow.

I miss Kyrie. I miss Gordon.

Jaylen no showed. Rozier stunk up the joint. A choke job.

I understand missing kyrie, but gordon has played 5 minutes for us...hard to "miss" him

hayward is easily our best player

[Ogaju]

Bron is the reason Cs lost.

[tenn_smoothie]

shooting is in the legs - fatigue finally caught up with us.

We need a bench sharpshooter and an athletic rebounder/defender added inside.

[blink]

it sucks that our season is over.  but there have been a lot of positives out of this year.
Brown and Tatum made huge strides to becoming elite players this year.  Tatum, Brown, Rozier, Smart, and to a lesser degree Semi are all young players that got a butt load of great playoff experience.

Add a healthy Kyrie, Hayward, Theis and I don't see how we aren't a finals contender next year.   Hopefully this game 7 experience burns a lot for Tatum, Brown, Rozier, Smart, Al, Morris.   Sometimes losing like this can make a team hungrier next year.  Man I hope that is the case.

also, this is what I posted before the game. told ya so.

the stars are aligned for LeBron to look great.

- overcoming the "fatigue"

- overcoming an "injury"

- dragging a bunch of scrubs to the finals

- now short-handed missing his pet kevin love

- if the rockets(short-handed) somehow find a way to beat the warriors no doubt chris paul will be limited if he even plays at all.



anyone feeling positive about this game is lying to themselves. this has loss written all over it.

[satch]

Did not play well but I don't think they were overwhelmed by the moment. I think they played better in game six but the officials did a surgical hose job. To me that was the difference in the series. If it had been closer down the stretch officials  would have got surgical again. I think we the fans are being played by ratings...

[BitterJim]

Rozier and Brown go from the best non-Lebron players on the floor in game 6 to absolute trash in game 7. We had a lot of chances at the end, but nobody except Tatum could hit a gd shot. And, why Brad thought it was a good idea to put Rozier back in for Brown is beyond me.

Incrdible.

Just inexplicably poor decision-making by Brad tonight. Literally did nothing all night long, and just like in game 6 his poor timeout calling led to them getting big runs. And let's not even begin to talk about his hesitance to rein in Rozier and Brown who went 6 for freaking 32 tonight.

Overrated coach, especially on here. Couldn't even beat this Cavs team without Love on our homecourt because he's too passive and soft to discipline and control his effing players.

He really lost his way tonight. I still think he's a top 2 coach in the league, but dear God that was a shocking performance. Him, Rozier and Brown were the holy trinity of chokers tonight

I'm a huge Brad fan, and it difficult to blame him for so many missed shots from our guys, but there had to be a better plan than to just let Rozier, Brown, and Smart toss up contested 3s. He is probably the best Xs and Os coach in the league, but there's still something missing - hopefully it comes with experience.

There's two somethings missing. If Tatum is the only guy that can score, we're not gonna win. Tatum can't take over the game and do it all by himself (yet)

If you give guys open looks and they can't hit them, you have to give it to your go-to guy. Unfortunately, we don't have one right now

[jpotter33]

The only positive coming from this game is that Danny can unequivocally make that decision between Smart and Rozier now.

Dude's lack of BBIQ was a major factor in giving up this game. He and Brown completely shot us out of the game and were instrumental in that Cavs run in the third that was the gamechanger.

[SparzWizard]

Reminds me of Game 7 2010. Leading by 13pts and couldn't finish at the end.

More embarrassingly lose at home to a bunch of nobodies.
