Celtics (2-1) at Cavs (1-2) ECF Game #4 5/21/18

[Vox_Populi]

The largest caveat is the Cavs turnovers.

But the Celtics have competed since the lead got to 19 and that's not good enough obviously, but it's better than rolling over and dying. Which they have time to do, but hopefully LeBron takes a break.

Are we gonna give Horford a pass? He’s invisible somebody put him on a milk carton this is ridiculous. I could live with his misses demand the [dang] ball though and at least try to go to work

[CelticD]

Marcus Smart just can't figure out when not to shoot the ball.

He's not doing what he should be, which is trying to impact the game with his energy. Guess it doesn't work on the road when the crowd is against you.

Cleveland just wants this game. Period.

this game was winnable for us. we were not prepared two games in a row. unacceptable. too little too late now. we need to attack all game next game and keep lebron OPOUTSIDE

still is winnable. but they have to execute and shooter almost perfectly to do so. doable.

[Phantom255x]

I'll admit, I'm at least encouraged we stayed in this game and had numerous chances to come back. Gives me faith for Game 5. Not like Game 3 where the game was legit over with 10 minutes left in the 3rd.

[kozlodoev]

Korver has more heart and grit than our whole team combined right now

I think the effort is there tonight, they're just not executing.

Trying to do too much isn't effort, it's dumb basketball.

[CelticsElite]

If you want to beat LeBron...you might need Kawhi.

if we had kyrie and Hayward, this game wouldn't even be close. Kyrie puts up buckets and if he was cold we'd have Hayward doing it

[Ogaju]

It’s looking like Celtics in 7

[Neurotic Guy]

The Nance follow and one was cruel.   Good D -- Lebron almost pulls out the reach back catch and shot -- but falls out and Nance gets the follow and foul.  Geesh -- that one hurt.

[CelticsElite]

Back to 10

hes not they know how important this game is expect him to play the rest of the way. Also he’s just roaming on defense need to find a way to find the open man somebody’s gotta be open

[Csfan1984]

They also seem to give up on effort as soon as Cavs put up a shot. They get boxed out or out of defensive position that is killing them.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

We need to cut this lead to about 6 with 5 minutes left in the game or we lose it.

Let's do this!

[jpotter33]

Nice, Rozier. Now come on, guys and make a run while Lebron is on the bench.
