Celtics (1-2) at Cavaliers (2-1) ECF Game #4 5/23/17

[kraidstar]

wow, a really telling stat -- Cavs have hit 21 of their last 24 shots.  horrible D

Yeah, it has been brutal.

Lost in all the slobbering over Kyrie and LeBron is the panicky, disheveled defense that made their shots far easier than they should be.

We're not playing with composure or unity, that needs to change ASAFP

Al doesn't get the call there.

Guess the league needed to have a close game.....

If there is one thing we cant complain about in this one are the refs. Its been reallllly bad for both sides.

I agree. Just as a general note, though, the leeway that LeBron gets when complaining to the refs is startling.

[Dino Pitino]

We'll always have that moment when the lineup on the court was finally, fleetingly Smart Bradley Brown Crowder Horford.

We lose it's on us, but that doesn't excuse the 4 muggings that haven't been called.

Horford was pumped after a game 3 win (first in his career vs. Lebron in playoffs)

He looks like he wants win #2 

Maybe he should exploit Love more in the post.

[jpotter33]

We ratchet back up this D, and we'll win this game. The Cavs look like they're tired, and some good D will exacerbate that fatigue and give us life on the other end, too.

Did you not watch games 1 and 2?

[Kuberski33]

Get it within a couple of points with 2 to go and Brad can take us home from there with his play calling

[Casperian]

i cannot handle stupid play not corrected by coaching

whats wrong CBS?

he is still learning

popovich would not make this mistake

He's coached in the NBA for four years, and in the playoffs -- multiple times. He's not learning, time to face the music.

The Stevens truthers have arrived.

You'd have an easier time fending the Stevens truthers if he could coach.

Go home, koz, you're drunk...

ok so fire CBS...who do u get?

[RJ87]

Horford needs to stay aggressive in the post. Love can't guard him one on one down there

We absolutely HAVE to utilize him more in the post. Even when he doesn't score, he's such a great passer that he can still get another player a good look. Hopefully going into his second year, Brad can incorporate that part of his game more.

[wayupnorth]

Nothing irritates me more than the frequent Stevens bashing around here.

Yes he has things to continue to learn, but the dude is incredible as a coach. He is a unanimous top 5 coach and is 40 years old.

Relax about the coaching.

[Tr1boy]

Any chance we can ride Al for the next 4 minutes?

yes. ride him and his 25 million

no cavs player can guard him. I hope they start doubling him... pass it out for a 3

cavs have guarded the 3 very well in the 2nd half

this game actually has turned into old good classic style drive to the basket ball... hardly any 3s

[Celtic Fan Forever]

I hate when Crowder shoots
