Coming into the second half you could see the Cavs defense really step it up. In that second half they played really good, aggressive D. They attacked us at our soft underbelly, the middle, the center position.
In general, the C's play well when it's a game of small ball, a running game, but when it changes to a game of slow down, grind it out, and the opposing team puts the ball in the hands of their power players, the Celtics just don't have the horses. We have no center, no player 6-11, 280, with length, and the ability to score and control the paint. Many teams have several.
Besides this, the Celtics are missing some obvious pieces, one being another scorer or two that can create his own shot. It's time to take the next step, we need a trade.
On the subject of the refs, the NBA needs to somehow review games, and the calls made by the Refs. Maybe at the formal request of the coaches. Refs need to be censured for the questionable, or obviously bad calls. The player arguing... the intimidating by players needs to end. Just like in baseball, arguing gets you immediately tossed. Leave the arguing to the coaches, and at the proper time. Players like Labron would simply have to shut-up and play, or sit.
