GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Celtics!!!!!!!
How does one sleep tonight tonight? I am truly losing my mind- I believe we win this game big. But still, so nervous for that first quarter-
whos ready for part 2 of this:

It's been a fun run, boys, but it seems we're doomed here. We have overachieved all playoffs and we're due for a home loss. I expect LeBron to crush us.
Yeah I feel like the Celtics are gonna struggle to win this one. Home trap game.we haven’t seen jr smith explode because the Celtics have the best defense in the nba
This will feel like Paul Pierce night, in a Game 7. We haven't seen JR Smith explode yet, and he is also due for one.
We also haven't seen him explode because he is no longer a good playerYeah I feel like the Celtics are gonna struggle to win this one. Home trap game.we haven’t seen jr smith explode because the Celtics have the best defense in the nba
This will feel like Paul Pierce night, in a Game 7. We haven't seen JR Smith explode yet, and he is also due for one.
Unless he drops 20 and some other role player drops 15 with LeBron getting 40-50, it’s gonna be hard for the Cavs to win
LeBron is getting 40 we know that. JR aid capable of dropping 20 he is due for a good game. Nance and Tristans rebounding scares the hell out of meYeah I feel like the Celtics are gonna struggle to win this one.

He’s (JR) only scored 20 three times this year, the last time being early Feb. Not only this, but every time he has scored 20 or more, he’s played over 35 minutes. Highly doubt he’s “due” a good game considering he’s averaging 8ppg on 40/37/70 shooting splits. He’s a mediocre role player at this stageLeBron is getting 40 we know that.

Don't let George Hill and Jeff Green beat you. If we gotta lose, make LeBron do it.
LeBron is 5-2 in Game 7’s, but what is his record in ROAD Game 7's?
TP, so he's never won a G7 on the road. ;)LeBron is 5-2 in Game 7’s, but what is his record in ROAD Game 7's?
I believe he is 0-1. If Boston plays defense and gets rebounds they should win.
The officials for tonight's Game 7 matchup between the #Celtics and #Cavs will be Marc Davis, James Capers and Zach Zarba with Kane Fitzgerald as the alternate.

Thank God no Foster and no Brothers.
I am so nervous. Have seen Lebrick kill us before and I am afraid the Cavs somehow steal this game.

RELAX FOR NOW. look, if we had made layups in game 4 this series would have been over in 5. funny all the doom and gloomers and trolls do not want to address this. so we SHOULDA finished the cavs in 5 so why are we panicking over a game 7 at home? why?
i doubt lebron was sand bagging for this game. we have the best chance at home and we are the better team. our home wins were much better than the cavs home wins. yes it is a game 7 where anything can happen. run lebron until his ass drops. run him into the parquet. make him drop. make him never want to see boston again.
I kind of expect a lower scoring, ugly grind it out game
I kind of expect a lower scoring, ugly grind it out game
With Love out, I agree. Lebron will have to work for 48 minutes

I agree Boston is the better team. Either James goes off again or he might be fatigued. Really the key will be getting rebounds and controlling George Hill.
If they are going to double al with Hill again and leave Rozier open he must be smart
I hope we don’t get once in a season Jeff green superstar game .

LeBron is 5-2 in Game 7’s, but what is his record in ROAD Game 7's?
I believe he is 0-1. If Boston plays defense and gets rebounds they should win.

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.

How soon we forget the infamous 2016 year where he climbed back up from a 3-1 deficit and won Game 7, on the road, to win his Cavs their first championship!
LeBron is 5-2 in Game 7’s, but what is his record in ROAD Game 7's?
I believe he is 0-1. If Boston plays defense and gets rebounds they should win.
He is 1-1, since the Cavs won G7 in Oakland in 2016 (but he had Kyrie and Love).
This is it. We should expect LeBron to go off and our team to play better at home. Remember we won G5 despite shooting 36%. We’ll have to do it on defense and sustain their runs, and avoid hero ball at all cost. I just hope Al and Tatum get enough shots, we should ride them hard...
Besides a win, I hope we let Green choke as he always does. But the scary thing about a G7 is that it only takes a made shot, a timely 3 or an unexpected performance from a guy like Green to lose. So stressfyl! Let’s go C’s, can’t wait for tipoff. It would be great to come full circle 10 years affer the epic ‘08 game 7 with Cleveland. Who will be our PJ Brown?
With Green starting does Brad go with Morris over Baynes?If Larkin was healthy I'd gone
Green starting ?? Lol Lue is a dummy
Good
Lebron is 1-2 in road game 7s.TP, so he's never won a G7 on the road. ;)LeBron is 5-2 in Game 7’s, but what is his record in ROAD Game 7's?
I believe he is 0-1. If Boston plays defense and gets rebounds they should win.

Who else should he start instead?

I would go with nanc jr

Can’t start two guys that are out there to get rebounds and have not real scoring threat

I feel a little better with Love out but these things always seem to favor the team with the best player. I hope the Celtics focus on locking down everyone else - shoot halfway decent and don't turn the ball over. That's the recipe for winning these things. Even if Lebron goes for 40+ if those other things happen they'll win.not in the 3 home games against cleveland.
If at least 2 other Cavs have good offensive games, the Celtics are in trouble.
The one other thing that gives me hope - in both this series and the other, from Game 5 on the refs have been letting the players decide it. I hope that continues tonight. The Garden crowd will get the Celtics to lock in on defense.
I am beyond nervous. Straight fear that this is the end.

I'm only looking at Game 7's. LeBron is a far better player than Giannis. But looking just at this series, in the first 3 in Boston Love is the only other Cav who's played a decent game besides LeBron - and he's out. I just would not at all be shocked if multiple guys out of the Korver, JR, Thompson, Nance, Hill etc group rise to the occasion because it's Game 7. There are a lot of vets in that group who've come through in the past.I feel a little better with Love out but these things always seem to favor the team with the best player. I hope the Celtics focus on locking down everyone else - shoot halfway decent and don't turn the ball over. That's the recipe for winning these things.

not in the 3 home games against philly.
not in the 4 home games against milwaukee.
that is 11 straight home games for the celtics where they beat the team with the best player.
Same and if LeBron has one of those games where he’s just dicing up any defense you throw at him with crazy passes all while getting his it’ll be a long night and summer.I am beyond nervous. Straight fear that this is the end.same I don’t feel good about this game at all
Just have this feeling it is going to be like pierce’s Retirement game...where the Cleveland role players finally break through big
sadly, I'm at this point as well. C's have been fortunate in the 3 wins in Boston where Lebron's lackeys have missed their open jumpers moreso than any great D they've played. Sooner or later, those shots fall beside in Cleveland.Same and if LeBron has one of those games where he’s just dicing up any defense you throw at him with crazy passes all while getting his it’ll be a long night and summer.I am beyond nervous.

I have faith the C's will fight to the end. question is, will it be enough if Cleveland's roster actually plays well for a game in the Garden
I don't remember the last time I was so fired up for a game!might have to go all the way back to 2010 for me.

I feel good about this team. Garden is gonna be ****ing rocking and we are gonna send Lebron packing in search of another super team.
A friend of mine has invited me to go to the game. 4th is is awesome. The game hasn't even started yet and this thread is up 7 pages. I had the opportunity to see Celtics game 7 in 2008 and we came out victorious. Hopefully we can do the same tonight. I'm looking for my Celtics monkey now.
I hope we don’t get once in a season Jeff green superstar game .
If Jeff Green outplays Horford and our team tonight, then we don't deserve to get to the finals anyway. No excuses for us- Steamroll for 48 minutes!

In 2008, after a glorious victory over the Cavs in game 7, Celtics Monkey retired. Today he is coming out of retirement. To provide us with good luck. Thank you Celtics Monkey for gracing us with your presence.
Ugh...haven't been this worked up for a Cs game since 2010 game 7 in the finals
Here are the headlines on the center articles on the ESPN NBA page:
http://www.espn.com/nba/
"LeBron has a history of stepping up against the Celtics"
"How this Game 7 would be LeBron James' best yet"
"Oladipo: King James in Game 7 'unstoppable'"
"How it's going down: What Lebron needs to do to win Game 7"
"LeBron comes up big in Game 7s"
I hope that CBS prints this page out and shows it to the team.

Nobody thinks...nor want the Cs to win. It is all about James. Many have already decided he is scoring 50 tonight and going to carry his team to a win.
I made mistake of reading some horrible Lebron article Ringer)on how this will be Lebron’s biggest win without Love—-not a single mention of Kyrie or Hayward in it- Then, Fans started commenting on how losing Kyrie and Hayward are nowhere near loss of Love and team Lebron has been carrying on sheer grit and willpower 😁- Makes me want to start drinking early🍷🍷🍷🍷

And hey, when he doesnt win, they didnt have Love so loss not his fault
I have been devastated several times by a Cs loss...one was in 1987 vs the Lakers on Magic's skyhook and the other was the final 4 minutes vs the Lakers in 2010 in the finals game 7.That 2010 Game 7 loss really hit me hard because that game was taken from the Celtics they didn't lose it. They were up 6 going into the 4th quarter and the Lakers were given 21 free throws in the quarter to just 6 for the Celtics. I truly believe that the refs did not want Rasheed (noted ref hater) to win that championship and did all they could to stop it. It still irritates me when I think about it!!!
Tonight would be pretty tough to take. They are right there. Beating the Cavs and ending James' reign of terror would be worth a lot to me seeing I live in Cavs country....I mean James country.
I am just so gun shy to believe they can get it done because of how many times he has ended Boston. Ready to just get this going.

Who are the referees?
Davis, capers and zarba
On NBA radio on Sirius XM today they were doing a promo for the Finals. They started out talking about how Curry and Durant could repeat or could LeBron come back and take the title from them. Or would James Harden win his first championship. Not one word about the Celtics. I started yelling at the radio - There's a 4th team in this!!!!!
Do we have confirmation on our starters?

Yes. It was a joke. I still am pretty upset about how the whole thing went down.
LeBron James should just forfeit tonight to save his time and our time.
He doesnt want his NBA Finals record to be 3-6 all-time.

As Tommy said after game 4, we should be forcing Lebron to work his butt off on defense, and on offense non-stop. If he brings the ball up, pressure the heck out of him. If he doesn't, deny the pass to him and make him work to get free.
Tire him out and the jumpers will be clanking in the 4th.
Lol I love how Jaylen and Chauncey are trying to spin Love’s absence as a positive for Cleveland, even when Cleveland has mightily struggled to score in Boston. ::)
Who are the refs?
THE THRUTH is on the floor for pregame countdown
Celtics should of invited Delonte West to the game.
mon Tatum
head butt the whiner
It's sad that "who are the referees?" is even a question. It should not matter, but somehow does. That's just bad for the league..It doesn't. It's mostly in people's heada.

Tatum is just dishing out concussions!

We've got this. There is nothing magical about game seven. The same Cavs from games 1, 2, and 5 will be here for game 7. The same Lebron too. They'll play tough, but like in those games...it won't be enough. The media can talk about how bad we are on the road...I prefer to focus on how great we are in the Garden. Welcome to our house Lebron...your season ends here.
If we get this win, it is going to be from the typical Celtics things, teamwork, hustle, effort, grit, balls.
In other words, we need Marcus Smart aka The Cobra to make his signature winning plays. Lets get it!!

That is some ridiculous D by Baynes!Storyline of the night so far. Brilliant CBS!
Those fallaway shots off the drive going away from the paint by LeBron are really tough shots.
I am amazed at how many of them he has it in this series.
James is going to wear out mid third quarter
Baynes is looking awesome out there
The score is 11 - 4 so fari lost feeling 2 games ago
Anyone feeling good? ;D
Jason Tatum is not afraid.
This is good. Really good.
I want to make love to Baynes defense on Lebron so far.

Amazing how this defense doesn't show up on the road. If they did, this is over in 5.if we make the finals, this has to change cuz we won't have home court advantage

Celtics are not getting to the line and that is in order by the nba
Smart has done a great job of taking up good positions for a charge. LeBron pulled out of a few earlier drives before that one. Well done Smart.Good point. Getting a charge early was awesome
Lebron air ball 3SHWEET
Hah
Lebron air ball 3SHWEET

Terrible defense by James there.Are you sure??
However, what do you expect? He has to do everything offensively for this team. Can't really blame him; he is human, after all.
Eight point lead. I’ll take it. Keep wearing Lebron down. He can’t play the whole game anymore.
Nance finally getting called on his BS
Offense has been ok overall but I don't like how most of the sets they have Brown just standing in the corner and not moving.
ok lebron has 12 rest of clowns 6when that happens, he will stop playing defense because it's too demanding... Sometimes he just stops going back up the floor if he's really tired
beautiful just like we wanted
he will be gassed by 3rd quarter late
No second quarter crap
Eight point lead. I’ll take it. Keep wearing Lebron down. He can’t play the whole game anymore.
KABOOM get kead to 15 at half
25 plus second half
Is ESPN aware that there are other players in the series besides Lebron James?

Need to keep pushing the pace
Most pleased about = how few Cavs players have shown up to support LeBron on offense.they're getting the open shots but not hitting them. been the story of the series -- Cavs make their open shots in Cleveland but not in Boston. would rather the C's change the story to Cavs not getting any open shots
C's are going to need a lot more people to show up tonight besides Tatum and Al.Morris is making LeBron work really hard to get inside the arc though, which is crucial.
Rozier and Morris are not helping the cause so far.
Great start so far, we threw the first punch, got hit back and even lost the lead but we kept our poise and punched back to get an 8 point lead. LeBron is taking the shots we want him to take. Clear the defensive boards, keep getting in the paint and we can increase this lead. Tatum is amazing.

not totally true there was one game where the cavs had very few open shots.

Referees to NBA... there was nothing we could do.definitely swallowed the whistle when C's should have gotten a few calls on offense

And Terry has been running the PnR well, just needs to hit shots

Keep pushing he is tired
Horford needs to pass it quicker when the double comesHe had JR Smith in the mismatch too. >:(
Man, let’s gets some baskets and pull away.
LeBron is already fatigued. Keep pushing the ball.
Lebron looks tired.
hands on his hips
keep rotating fresh guys on him.
Cavs won't continue to miss everything. Boston needs to build a lead, right now.
Horford needs to pass it quicker when the double comes
vngnoibnroirwinwrinh
I like the TO.
Cleveland handing the C's every chance in the world to take this lead to 20.
Lebron looks tired.

keep rotating fresh guys on him.
get a 20 plus point lead i will have semi pound him until lead goes to 19
LeBron is already fatigued. Keep pushing the ball.I'd run Semi out there for a few minutes to harass him
He’s gotta force fouls on the doubles go up wide your elbows wide draw the contactHorford needs to pass it quicker when the double comes
In general true, but on that play Tatum had his back turn to him (and then LeBron got in the lane). He really had nowhere to go.

SMH Brad where was the timeout earlier!!???The last one he called made zero difference.
guys teams are gonna make runs, we just gotta respond with a run of our own. we have been out of sync a bit on offense, correct that and play better def and we are still ok.That's not a run. It took almost a full quarter of horrible basketball for Cle to get here. It's prolongued ineptitude.

12-2 outscored—at least give the team a chance to regroup—
Not feeling good at all.Bad stomach?
Not feeling good at all.Jr and Korver with an explosion coming soon, Bron coasting, all the make ups for s third quarter collapse
Brown and Rozier have to step up offensively.Brown has missed some good open looks for sure, but Terry doesn't pass him the ball in the half court, like ever.

If they're not falling for anyone, as is the case, they need to try something else. Like the inside shots, which were working really well.
The fans need to stay engaged.....Cs could have put them away

We're one win from the NBA finals without our two best players because of Brad's coaching, not your need for timeouts. So forgive me if I pick Brad over you. I'm okay with it. And I'm okay with calling you out.

but I will. he's in love with the 3 tonight when he's bricking them. needs to drive to the basketLETS KEEP SHOOTING THREES GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
complain about that 3. just keep complaining. oh know you won't, cause he made it.
Celtics are getting a bunch of wide open threes. They're going to have to make them.
Choking horribly. Make your wide open threes and we're winning by 20.They could say the same.
Lol of course JVG and Jackson trying to bail James out there. That's a clear offensive foul that is ALWAYS called, for better or for worse.

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.

Cold shooting in the 2nd quarter. Lead reduced to 4.Which favors the more experienced team and team with the best player. Not good at all ahhhhhhh
Celtics have to come out stronger in the 2nd half. It's anybody's game!
They could say the same.
We're at home, they have an excuse, we dont.
Choking horribly. Make your wide open threes and we're winning by 20.

better than being down. we gotta come out strong in the 3rd, play good def get some transition points and get the Crowd into it.

Go to the rim.
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.

Go to the rim.
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.
Celts getting little so far from rozier, tatum, brown
Its weak production
Open wide and missing shots
Aren't we up 4?
better than being down. we gotta come out strong in the 3rd, play good def get some transition points and get the Crowd into it.
Up 4 after being up 12 is annoying
Sometimes the problem with Brown going to the rim is, he then has to go to the free throw line. Not his favorite place.
don't care. if they're not falling, you don't keep chucking them - you drive to the basket or work yourself in closer to get an easier shot you can/will make.but I will. he's in love with the 3 tonight when he's bricking them. needs to drive to the basketLETS KEEP SHOOTING THREES GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
complain about that 3. just keep complaining. oh know you won't, cause he made it.
They aren't contested shots, they are open shots. They are just not falling.
When he forces it, which is what you’re asking, he’s pretty bad. Gets his shot blocked more than anyone I’ve seen in a while.Brown needs to work inside out
Go to the rim.
exactly, lets get a couple easy shots and then open it up with the 3 ball within the rhythm of the offense
Lol of course JVG and Jackson trying to bail James out there. That's a clear offensive foul that is ALWAYS called, for better or for worse.
Hey, it's okay to accuse a guy of lying about getting hit in the face if you couldn't tell from the first angle.
What else are you gonna do, wait until you have sufficient evidence before saying something like that?
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!

The change in number of timeouts you have every game may be making a difference this season
Up by 4 while playing terrible. Not ideal but I'll take it..
Play smarter ball and they'll do ok.

Why is the crowd quiet this team needs you...do the need a yell leader?You gotta score if you want the crowd in the game. Plain and simple.
Stop shooting the 3
Go inside

They are an embarrassment.
It is also pathetic how they keep complaining that the Cavs roleplayers are missing shots, costing LeBroid assists. "Everything has gone against them and yet they're close."
Meanwhile the C's are bricking open shot after open shot, and the announcers ignore that the C's have basically been giving the game away.
You're giving no credit to the Cavs interior defense. Its not easy for the C's to score driving to the basket because of Thompson, LeBron etc. They're contesting everything and I would expect the refs to continue to let them. Celtics need to continue to shoot the 3 and make them to win.don't care. if they're not falling, you don't keep chucking them - you drive to the basket or work yourself in closer to get an easier shot you can/will make.but I will. he's in love with the 3 tonight when he's bricking them. needs to drive to the basketLETS KEEP SHOOTING THREES GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

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.

We've been eating them alive inside so far. It's when we kick it back out that we're not making them pay. Those threes have to start falling at some point though.

Uh, no. Unless you're either (a) Curry/Thompson or one of the elite three point shooters in the league, or (b) hot that particular game, having 8 out of your 11 first half field goals be three pointers and only making two of them is bad shot selection. Now he did have a a couple of open baseline threes, which I'm fine with him taking every time; however, at least half of those were wing/above-the-break threes, which are not always good shots, especially when you're as off tonight as Brown is.

Next year this will not happen. Love these young guys but they play stupid at times. If LeBron gets going it’s going to cost them dearly tonight.
Terry and Jaylen probably cannot shoot worse, my concern is they need an 8-10 point lead to ensure Lebron cannot win the game on his own.And they were the Celtics 2 best players in Game 6

honestly I saw (1) 3 point shot that Jaylen took way early in the shot clock and seemed like a cop out. Most of his other 3's have been in rhythm, within the offense. He just hasn't hit them. That said, if we get the right matchup, Jaylen should be taking it to the rim. Stack up the fouls on them and get into the bonus.
Referees affect game in so many ways...Brown started aggressively he got hammered but no call..so he starts chucking threes....Refs influence.marc davis

Yeah, guys, Brown is 2-9 on threes, but he should keep on shooting them just like that! ;)
This Celtics team is absolutely awful right now. Literally can't do anything right.we need to take advantage of the 2nd chance points
Yeah, guys, Brown is 2-9 on threes, but he should keep on shooting them just like that! ;)Well, he’s been bad going to the hoop too.

“But it’s such a high percentage shot”.... said no one ever
yup, Cavs can't keep missing all game.

I'm putting that poor possession on Rozier. Stood at the top of the circle with his thumb up his rear end doing nothing, not recognizing that Horford had Hill on him. Move the ball earlier rather than giving the ball to Jaylen with 6 seconds left on the shot clock.
Brad needs to bench the guys that don't want to play. This is game 7 at home for a chance to go to the NBA finals. You need to leave it all on the court.All of them want to play they just don't know how.

they took horford out of his game again as well-
which is something I pointed out earlier about Rozier running point -- ball sticks to his hands way too much. people used to complain about Rondo but he moved the ball for an open shot much better than Rozier will ever doyup, Cavs can't keep missing all game.

I'm happy letting Rozier go and keeping Smart.

How did Rozier think trying to dunk that over Lebron was a good idea?Because he saw his moment for glory ::) time to put LBJ on a poster in the ECF, ugh. Could’ve drawn lebron and passed, but no

Lol
2 for 1. I hate it. >:(
Baynes is such a weak finisher.
Cmon Smart...no hero ball.
So we’re about to get our hearts broken. We have nothing we can go to for points and they have lebron.exactly you almost rather get blown out. Gonna be a slow and painful end to the season
Lost this game in the second quarter

2 for 1s are fine, but it shouldn't be Smart taking it
Prepare for death by LeBron. The rest of them did their job playing us to a standstill.We wasted the opportunity in game 6 Rozier was lights out and it went to Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. with Horford playing like absolute Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.
Rozier is 2-12 so far and if you let him he'll shoot another 12 shots.
Cmon Smart...no hero ball.
2 for 1, though Smart shooting the pull up J is a wasted possession
This is why we need Kyrie.If we had Kyrie they would have been packing already
Smart + Rozier = 3-for-20 overall, 0-For-11 from deep
You have to win this with offense...you are not winning this with defense at this point.just need a few shots to go in and we're good
Why are all the fans quitting? 25% of the game is still left and we're only down 3
win or lose, C's are going to have to improve their backcourt bench. need someone smarter running an offense than either Rozier or Smart. was thinking we'd be fine keeping both going forward but I'm really thinking we can do better.
C's will need:this was my 2 cents this afternoon. still stand by it. C's are not getting the needed offense from Brown, Rozier and Morris that they need and it's killing them
- a "Good Al" game from Horford
- a minimum of 3 of these 4 guys to have a good shooting night: Rozier, Brown, Tatum and Morris
- Smart to play "smart" and not chuck up a number of bad shots
- Brad to be better at calling quicker TOs should Cleveland get on any kind of a run before it gets out of hand. He cannot wait until the C's are in a 15-20 point hole before calling a TO.
- All 5 C's on the floor to be defensive rebounding every Cleveland miss. Need to limit Cleveland to 5 offensive rebounds or less in the game.
- Take care of the ball -- force Cleveland into turning it over while limiting their own TO's for the game to 8 or less.
Horford has gone MIA again and to me that is super disappointing-
win or lose, C's are going to have to improve their backcourt bench. need someone smarter running an offense than either Rozier or Smart. was thinking we'd be fine keeping both going forward but I'm really thinking we can do better.
Actually, I love Smart running the offense. He's developing his court vision, makes good passes, and gets his teammates involved. I'd rather him at the point than Rozier, who dribbles too much and just isn't a good passer.
In the bonus. keep driving.
In the bonus already. Plan accordingly.So shoot more threes.
Jaylen still settling for 3's. Bad coaching by Brad, bad play by Brown.
Gave this thing awayMoment seems too big for anyone not named Horford and Tatum. Sad.
Just can’t get it done
Good job on Morris drawing the foullike they'd foul HIM out
4th on lebron
Every drive, Jaylen just brings the balls straight up from his waist. Dude has to keep the ball away from the defender when they rise up.
All we need to do... is hit some shots
I just get the feeling at at some point LeBron is going to decide to end this.Needed a superstar performance from Paul Pierce in 2008 to beat LeBron down the stretch.
Brad's idea of an early TO is to call it 30 seconds before we're due for a TV break.
We screwed up by keeping it close... Lebron can just win it nowIn fairness they did want to give it away. We just wouldn't take it because gotta shoot moar threes.
Take it to the hoop strong, they are in the penalty!!

this is the hardest lebron has had to work in the east in 8 years
Cerebral (tm).Brad's idea of an early TO is to call it 30 seconds before we're due for a TV break.
Stop it. Brad knows what he's doing, regardless of how little sense his decisions make. He's clearly on a higher plane of decision-making than us. Dude is simply infallible in his decision-making.

Yup. Just a couple of buckets and we've got this!
Brown and Rozier are 2-18 from three
Maybe LeBron is the goat.i don't know
Proud of this team either way

asking the Lord for help right now. but i didn't go to church today.
If he actually had to work hard he'd have lost in 5-6.this is the hardest lebron has had to work in the east in 8 years
Is it? Because it feels like we handed this game to him.
Maybe LeBron is the goat.
Proud of this team either way
And at the moment no one looks capable of delivering them. All Brad can do is run the guys out there who got him here and hope someone comes up big.I just get the feeling at at some point LeBron is going to decide to end this.Needed a superstar performance from Paul Pierce in 2008 to beat LeBron down the stretch.
Celtics might need some similar heroics down the stretch tonight.
It's coming down to C's really needing to score every possession. I just am not seeing how that is happening. Feeling ill. Let's go C's!!
Maybe LeBron is the goat.
Proud of this team either way
Goat has 6 rings!
Brown and Rozier are 2-18 from threethis is a key issue with this team's offense. no one nor the team should be shooting that many 3's when they aren't hitting them.
That's why the guy with the clipboard gets to call the plays.this ain’t brads fault the guys can’t make **** the moments too big for them, understandably thoughBrad's idea of an early TO is to call it 30 seconds before we're due for a TV break.

DISGUSTING
Brown signals to tatum to switch and then doesn't pick up his man smfhBrown has been off all night
Al was fouled.
Al was fouled.
if Jeff Green beats us, I will cry.He already did. No one not named LeBron matters this quarter.
Al was fouled.

Looks like it :-\.
Al was fouled.Cavs interior defense has been the story tonight - and it wouldn't be if the Celtics could make some 3's
Scary terry time!he's killing us on both ends
We are only down 3. We just need a few shots our way. We've stuck in this gameThe problem is the way we play those few shots take 6 minutes.
Lol love seeing them swallow the whistle for them and calling bull crap on us
Scary terry time!
yup, Bron's collected his last foul for the night regardless of throwing an arm up around Tatum's neck
Scary terry time!
Scary terry time!
I'M SCAREDNo need. Just accept it. It’s inevitable.

Exactly. Brown and Rozier had like 4-5 dumb possessions in a row, and Brad sat on his hands and did nothing the whole time. Changing point of this game.

Yeah, we simply don’t have enoughoffensivelyintelligence to win this kind of game. Plain and simple.

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?
No, it’s the lack of consistent offense.Yeah, we simply don’t have enoughoffensivelyintelligence to win this kind of game. Plain and simple.
Fixed ;) ;D.
TO coming out of a TO? Seriously? Who called that?maybe getting Lebrun extra rest?
Scary terry time!
For God's sake, no. Rozier nearly single-handedly gave this game away with that sequence in the third where he put up 3-4 terrible shots in a row leading to them getting the 5 point lead.
TO coming out of a TO? Seriously? Who called that?Ikr ::)
That's a "Rest lebron" TO
Mark Jackson just called Tatum better than either Hayward or kyrie
"Tatum is their 2nd best player when they come back"
What? Cavs taking two timeouts in a row to get rest for James?
KD might be a snake but go Warriors if we losethat's where i'm at
Al for 3
I just can't deal with the dumbassery of this team.
Screw em
TOO BAD only a couple of players showed upvery disappointing.
Rozier's stupidity seals it.
It's not like Cleveland won the game - the Celtics lost it.Wel, two teams playing. We aren’t good enough, they’re better than us, same thing.
Horford and Tatum are only hope
we became the Heat without winning part this game- I wont watch another game til next year-

Rozier is very frustrating!
Anyone who said we should trade Kyrie since we have Rozier should apologizeThis series is over in 6 games with Irving. Maybe less.
we just crumbled down the stretch. we are in the bonus but we are trying to hit desperate 3s.What do you expect with role players? Things get really tight at this point. No surprise.
I didn't think we would choke like this

Same, and as for that one possession with the consecutive misses from three as if no other shot was available, well, analytics ::) ;D. Morons. These guys just don't get it.
Smart has made so many incredible plays tonight. Brilliant effort.
Brown and rozie **** as soon as trade season comes aroundYa 21 year old with crazy upside plays unreal most of playoffs. Has a bad game 7 lets trade him, overreact much? Rozier I'm fine with letting go tho.
Awful performance. They didn't show up.
But super proud of this team! ;D
20 year old, only guy with guts.

Got killed by Jeff Green SMH.Agree...That one hurts.
Going to enjoy watching the king get swept in the finals...
... and then making the end of his career a living hell if he stays in the east.
Got killed by Jeff Green SMH.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CELTICS for a nice season.
Except the numerous players that either didn’t show up at all, or didn’t keep playing after we went up 12.20 year old, only guy with guts.
We should have won this game.....lost it in second....to early to blame anyone.

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
Well. Lebron is that good. There's no shame in losing to him.
This has been one amazing season. A total success in my eyes. I love this team.
This game had little to do with LeBron's greatness...our guys just wet the bed...EASY win right there.
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.
Lebron came to win. only got help from Jeff Green but that was all he needed against a pathetic C's effort. what killed them was a combined 13-60 from Morris, Brown, Rozier and Smart.Well. Lebron is that good. There's no shame in losing to him.
This has been one amazing season. A total success in my eyes. I love this team.
James did not beat us in this game. 7 for 39 beat us.
Why would Lebron leave Cavs? He just keeps getting to finals- Sickening-
Didnt get killed by Green, Lebron, or whomever... they shot 18% from three and most of them were uncontested
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.

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.
Tatum was like the only one that showed up in the 4th
Horford, Rozier, Brown....what happened?

I don't care that we made it this far despite the injuries.

How many of you still want to trade Kyrie & Gordon? Foolish ChatterTalent matters in the NBA...the playoffs are so long...eventually players revert to their talent level. This team went as far as it was going to go.
**** how is this on Brad are you guys drunk? It’s not his fault guys were bricking wide open good looks. Brown and Rozier were both trash it’s why Rozier wasn’t in the game. Brown didn’t move the needle. He brought Rozier back in and he continued to brick.Rozier and Brown go from the best non-Lebron players on the floor in game 6 to absolute trash in game 7.

Yep. Overrated is the word. Good coach but he doesn't have control of the team.
Rozier was a frightening 0-10 from 3 - but without him the C's never get close to where they finished.Darn right. Rozier has had a great postseason.
Sad to lose this one, but Cavs should get their clocks cleaned in the Finals. And the C's would have as well. Better to bow out in a close series and hold that with you through the summer. C's will be scary next year -- and it's only 4 months till training camp.
we just missed great shots. horford had to get more touches on the block.
great season, a lot of things to be excited about
Takeaways:
Rozier in this series was exactly who he's always been-- a streaky shooter who can light a team up when he's hot, and shoot you out of the game when he's cold.
Smart was also exactly who he's been: awful shooter but excellent teammate who never quits on a play.
If it's a choice between the two, trade Rozier and re-sign Smart. When we get Kyrie and Hayward back I'd rather have Smart's grit over Rozier's scoring.
Al did all he could, but he needs help. His teammates stopped going to him in the post in favor of bricking threes, and that's what cost us the game.
Tatum is going to be a star.
Cleveland didn't win this game-- we lost it. Terrible performance. Inexperience on display.
That said, it was a hell of a run and I'm very proud of this team's resilience. We have a bright future!

they should be fined their game pay. no excuses for that awful of a performance.

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.
hayward is easily our best playerWow.
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
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.

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.
shooting is in the legs - fatigue finally caught up with us.good point
We need a bench sharpshooter and an athletic rebounder/defender added inside.

No way a top 2. A top coach doesn't let his guys kill them with ill advised 3 balls.
If they win it all next year it will be due to a stacked roster and nothing more.
also, this is what I posted before the game. told ya so.Curse you and your painfully accurate predictions ;)the stars are aligned for LeBron to look great.

Great season, but this was garbage tonight....we get a rebound and pound the ball into the wood....no fast breaks, no making the Cavs scramble....NOTHING....this is why we missed "open" shots.
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.

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.
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.
shooting is in the legs - fatigue finally caught up with us.good point
We need a bench sharpshooter and an athletic rebounder/defender added inside.
I've been saying we need a good bench wing for a while and was killed for saying that
We only have brown Hayward and tatum
Exactly y’all are drunk for blaming bradRozier 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.
Yep. Overrated is the word. Good coach but he doesn't have control of the team.
you are all mental... held the Cavs to 90 points and gort his guys wide open shots...he has nothing to do with all the misses ... like they say you can only play with the cards you got!!!
**** how is this on Brad are you guys drunk? It’s not his fault guys were bricking wide open good looks. Brown and Rozier were both trash it’s why Rozier wasn’t in the game. Brown didn’t move the needle. He brought Rozier back in and he continued to brick.Rozier and Brown go from the best non-Lebron players on the floor in game 6 to absolute trash in game 7.

Takeaways:This
Rozier in this series was exactly who he's always been-- a streaky shooter who can light a team up when he's hot, and shoot you out of the game when he's cold.
Smart was also exactly who he's been: awful shooter but excellent teammate who never quits on a play.
If it's a choice between the two, trade Rozier and re-sign Smart. When we get Kyrie and Hayward back I'd rather have Smart's grit over Rozier's scoring.
Al did all he could, but he needs help. His teammates stopped going to him in the post in favor of bricking threes, and that's what cost us the game.
Tatum is going to be a star.
Cleveland didn't win this game-- we lost it. Terrible performance. Inexperience on display.
That said, it was a hell of a run and I'm very proud of this team's resilience. We have a bright future!

He has his quirks, but I don't think you can blame the open shots that Rozier and Brown missed on Brad.
We got the open looks, we didn't make it. That's not on Brad.
seriously what the hell was with that play in the 1st qrtr. where they stopped play because LeBron was out of bounds after the steal attempt?

Watch Houston get boned tomorrow.
The script is written.
I'm baffled as to why Kyrie nor Gordon wasn't at THE biggest game of the season for these mostly young guys. I'm sure they could've used the support.Gordon was on the bench. I didn’t see Kyrie.

I hope Houston loses. I don't want to know that we could have been going up against a lesser opponent whose star PG is hampered by injury. At the very least, I want to see Lebron get blasted in the finals. I f-ing hate that guy. When he made that block/foul on Rozier's dunk attempt and just stood with the stare down 100 feet away from the play down the floor, it made my blood curdle.
Great basketball player, despicable personality.
Had to make sure the messiah had complete possession of the ball before a mistake could have happenedseriously what the hell was with that play in the 1st qrtr. where they stopped play because LeBron was out of bounds after the steal attempt?

Agreed 100%
Although I think I heard somewhere that taking off possessions is actually a really impressive and noble? I think Mark Jackson was getting close to storming the court and proposing to Lebron right there
don't know the reason but if Tommy and PP can be there so should he...probably out promoting the uncle drew movieI'm baffled as to why Kyrie nor Gordon wasn't at THE biggest game of the season for these mostly young guys.

Remember at halftime when people were saying Brown and Rozier should continue to shoot because they were "open" shots ::)

Hindsight is 20/20
Most games when we get those open shots, we'll hit them.
We needed someone we could rely on down the stretch, but Tatum just isn't there yet

Hindsight is 20/20 - except I was freaking out about this at halftime and the whole game lol
I don't give a crap if it's "open" - an above the break three on a fast break with 18+ on the shotclock when you're shooting that terribly is ALWAYS a bad shot for those guys. Let's just make that any non-corner three that early in the shotclock when they played that poorly previously...
Was it green who win it, or our guys who lost it
Smart and Rozier: 3-24, 0-14 from three
Of all players...Jeff Green. A heartless, gutless, soft player that disappeared in Boston and quit many of games.

I really thought when Tatum put a poster on Lebron THEN hit a 3 to give the C's a 72-71 lead, that maybe it was meant to be.Oh god don’t remind me that sequence hurt. It felt like we were going on one of those runs we did all season, where we just flipped a switch.
NOPE. Brown loses Green in the corner who hits a wide open 3, then we chuck up a bad shot, and on the other end Lebron passes to Thompson who walks to an easy dunk SMH.
Brutal. Great playoff run from the C's, but still felt like an awful way to end it. Lot of guys just didn't show up tonight.

Tatum gave LeBron a little bump who looked backed at Tatum as if to say, "Kid, you haven't done SQUAT to disrespect me, I'll show you who you are dissing". That was a turning point, just an immature move by Tatum.I really thought when Tatum put a poster on Lebron THEN hit a 3 to give the C's a 72-71 lead, that maybe it was meant to be.

The Cavs responded to every spurt of momentum the Celtics got. I loved the Tatum sequence. I think back to Morris’ that put us up 3, then Smith immediately responding with his own.
If anyone had told us we would be in game 7 of the ECF, after losing Hayward and Irving we would have laughed them out of the room.
I think LeBron in the finals = lower ratings for the NBA.

This is not a game 7 question, but rather a series/playoff question. Was it just me, or does Tristian Thompson set illegal screens all the time and not get called for it? He was constantly setting moving screens and it was driving me nuts.

Ya, after that point, Lebron went on to score 6 points in 6 minutes on 1-3 shooting.

Why did Van Gundy and Jackson keep saying how great of a block it was by LeBron on Rozier? It was clearly a foul on the arm. Replay after replay showed that. Yes, it was a GREAT attempt at a block but hey refs he fouled his arm. Can you imagine the turn of events if they call the foul instead of a block?
