Cavs (44-14) at Celtics (36-19) 2/25

[Who]

A very good performance in the first half from the Celtics.

The Cavaliers haven't played well. Struggling to keep their heads above water.

No ovation for Powe?

Where's the cheer for Powe?  

[ejk3489]

Wow...they didn't even cheer?

[Donoghus]

Nice to see Leon playing basketball again.

No ovation for Powe?

Yeah C's fans are better than that...

I'm dissapointed.  

[CelticSooner]

I don't understand why the C's keep wasting end of quarter/half possessions. It's been that way all year. Can Doc not run a play?

They did cheer. Marv was slow on when it happened. He got the timing wrong: he came in 30 seconds earlier than when he said he was "checking in."

Nice to see Leon playing basketball again.

Once a Celtic...

Poor end to the first half with the Celtics blowing a 3 on 1 break and not scoring with 3 chances on that possession then giving up a 3 pointer to Lebron.  A probable 13 point halftime lead is trimmed to 8.  

C's need to work on their end of quarter plays as twice tonight they have failed miserably with not even getting a decent shot off.  Rondo dribbling around until the clock runs out happened twice at the end of quarters which is not good.

C's are up only 8 even with shooting 60%.  Cleveland will be ready for the second half.

Hopefully the C's stay aggressive and win this game.  Can't afford to blow another double digit lead at home...

Me too, you've got to let him know he was appreciated.

[Donoghus]

No ovation for Powe?

I'm dissapointed.  

I'm sure people cheered.

The crowd audio for these national telecasts also seem to be somewhat muted.

Rondo does not need to have the ball in his hands at the end of quarters...ever again!

He's starting to do that a lot...just keeping the ball in his hands,and wasting the time down to the point where the only thing he can do is take a contested jumpshot.

I'm getting tired of him wasting valuable possessions like that.
