Cavs (3-1) at Celtics (1-3) ECF Game 5 5/25/17

[Phantom255x]

Watching the game objectively, there is a Grand Canyon sized gap in talent between these two teams. And that even if you remove lebron.  Kyrie and love are both stars.  We have none.

Oh no, take out Lebron and we can give them a legit fight.

Cleveland aren't a Top-3 team without Lebron, lets be real.

does LEbron ever rest??

If you remove LeBron and it's a seven game series...

I'll say this - I think tonight looks a bit different than the first two games in Boston. The first two nights they looked scared and completely intimidated.

Tonight they've played a lot of dumb ball, but to me it seems like most of this is due to fatigue. Without IT and with as many grueling games as we've had this postseason, most of the guys just look drained.

But I will also say this, they wouldn't be showboating against me out there, and I know several other guys here feel the same way. I grew up in the game where you didn't let **** like that happen to you. When that stuff did happen, coach would have me run a PnR with our biggest, beefiest big and he'd lay the defender out, take the foul quietly, and just walk on down the court.

This should've already happened to JR tonight. Can't stand his constant showboating out there when he's essentially just riding the coattails of Cleveland's big three.

Stevens has been amazing this season, especially in the playoffs. Anyone dumping on him for losing to a great team like the Cavs without our best player is totally wrong.

Stevens , Bradley, and Rozier have raised their values in these playoffs big time, and the Celtics as a franchise will be a more attractive destination for free agents.

I dont think the Cavs make the playoffs without LeBron. He makes that much of a difference physically and mentally.

He's a freak

KO needs to hit the gym this year

It's not going to matter.  He lacks the mentality to play physically.  Somewhat odd given that he's willing to take charges.

He doesn't mind contact...its just he can't "come out of it" at the winning end most of the time

He really needs to develop a better physique... look at Love.  KO should strive to obtaining such physique

KO is big on core training but he needs to take his workouts to another level

[D Dub]

I can't reconcile how little effort we've put into defense....yet Cavs put in bonus 3min into the first, and 2min into the second quarter.

those things just don't compute

This. I really wish KO would rip his arms off.
