Deep down, I thought we'd lose by 10-15 points tonight even if we played better.

But it's unfortunate because we just shot ourselves in the foot way too many times and actually could have comeback (despite Lebron's 44). Oh well, on to Game 5!

Brad needs to seriously consider changing up the starting lineup for game 5. 

Baynes has played really well.  If they are starting Thompson, why not start baynes.  Morris has been ineffective against lebron since game 1.
Clearly adjustments mean little.  All about home court.

Huh? What adjustments have there been? We've been doing the same crap over and over again and expecting different results. Only in the latter stages of this half did we start doing anything different defensively.

TT has been a real surprise in this series

Not to me; he's always torched Boston.

Pathetic effort for the second game in a row. Getting outworked and outhustled by guys that have been slugs all year like Korver, Hill and Thompson.
Many here fail to give the Cavs credit. They're playing well, hustling and still have LeBron. Their rebounding really gives the Celtics problems.
'

That might have a little something to do with them going big and us refusing to respond and staying small, all while switching everything and gifting them mismatches to exploit left and right.
I felt these two games were a chance to impose our will on the series and make it clear the Cavs can't win. Instead, we turned around, bent over, and let them back into the series. It was just dandy.

Tatum had a bad 17 point night

Smart 2-8 was bad

One of those games where you outscore the Cavs to win

 Rozier had a bad 16 point 11 assist six rebound game as well. Shows you stats don’t tell the whole story

Let me repeat myself: Brad doesn't do adjustments! He needs three days to mull it over, because he's "cerebral". Unfortunately, an NBA game lasts 48 minutes so that's too bad for him...

Why play Horford 42 minutes and Baynes only 16. Semi also should've gotten more than 9 minutes and where was Yabu?

without our horrible start it might have been a photo finish. we had it down to 7 even with the terribkle start. it was there if we wanted it oh well.

in Tatum's defense, he was fouled a ton and barely got to the line.

So we can all agree BS got out coached tonight. His rotations were trash. And he can't get his guys to play well on the road. Not the best coach in the league if you can't get a team to perform on the road against anyone.
