horford and others should be living in the paint all game until they collapse

Green was such a quitter in Boston

[Ogaju]

Why is the crowd quiet this team needs you...do the need a yell leader?

Okay, I turned this game on and we were up 12. Now, it's 4. Did they just go stone cold halfway into the second quarter?

Mike

It’s your fault!  Turn it off!

I've thought about that, but my 9-year old scares me more than any of you do. Maybe he'll fall asleep soon and I can shut it off.

Stop shooting the 3

Go inside

For those complaining about the timeouts, I think you should know what the rules are for mandatory timeouts (TV timeouts). Most coaches these days don't want to call timeout if the game is close to a mandatory one, particularly if it's going to be charged to the other team. You need to managed them carefully, because you might need them at the end of the game.

The change in number of timeouts you have every game may be making a difference this season

Exactly. You can run out of timeouts pretty quickly if you don't manage them correctly. It's important not to panic.

Up by 4 while playing terrible. Not ideal but I'll take it..

Play smarter ball and they'll do ok.

Well, it's not like they BUILT a 4-point lead while playing terrible. They nearly BLEW a 12-point lead (which already should've been like 20).

Jeff Green is basically preserving LeBron's energy and keeping the Cavs in this. That's pathetic.

Jaylen is 3-11 and 2-8 from three. Yeah, that's not good shot selection. We better come out and punch them in the mouth at the half, because up 4 points is a very shaky cushion.

I disagree. he's been getting some pretty good looks, that last one was open by at least 10 feet. He may not be hitting but if you take high percentage shots eventually they start falling. keep shooting Jaylen.

Aaaah, a voice of reason.

To further support my point, at least two of those misses were corner threes. Jaylen is shooting something like 60% from the corners this playoff run. There literally isn't a shot other than an uncontested dunk that gives you a higher expected points per play. Keep shooting.

Sometimes the problem with Brown going to the rim is, he then has to go to the free throw line. Not his favorite place.

The refs are helping him out by not calling fouls no matter how much he gets hacked

This. If he was an anointed "superstar" he'd get at least 10 FT's a game.

[lrybrd]

They need to stop chucking 3s.  Go to the basket.  You are doing them a favor by chucking the 3.  Hit the mismatches in the post earlier. 

[SCeltic34]

We only have 1 turnover.  Great sign or cause for concern?  We should have a much bigger lead.  Missed way too many 3's, too many empty possessions.

That said, I don't think Rozier can be much worse.  Just gotta make our open looks because Cleveland isn't going to keep missing theirs.

[Boris Badenov]

If Jeff Green wins this game for the Cavs I am going to barf, eat it, and barf it up again.

You gotta score if you want the crowd in the game.  Plain and simple.
