Celtics (0-1) at Cavaliers (1-0) Game 2 5/3

[Roy Hobbs]

The bench has been good, but for the record, I *hate* having four bench guys + Rondo in there.

I actually like this lineup a lot, they can't double down on any particular player. It lets Rondo work the defense and hook guys up.

For the record, the lineup I was talking about is Rondo-Tony-Finley-BBD-Rasheed.  The talent just isn't there for that lineup to hold its own consistently.

How many steps was that? Before and after the "Dribble".....

[slamtheking]

Wow! Marv and Reggie calling out the FIX!!!

they noted the difference in fouls but are not insinuating any kind of "fix"

and another fastbreak for Cle.  jeez, when are the C's going to put a hand in the face of the man making the outlet pass to slow down the transitions?

Jamison has done a much better job defending Garnett on that fallaway jumper than he has when Garnett has faced up and/or when Garnett goes middle and looks for a hook shot or an up and under.

I'd like to see Kevin use his other post moves against Jamison.

Without some really STUPID turnovers, we could have been up by at least 15 already.

This IS the story of the first half -- in fact, these stupid turnovers led to quite a few of our fouls.

boston has zero chance to win tonight. they are getting jobbed like i have never seen

[houseonfire09]

How can you foul only 4 times in a half as a team? Amazing... and ridiculous.

Quisy on the court, let's see how he does.

Because this league is rigged.  Every game Lebron is involved in is unwatchable because his team can get away with everything short of an Artest Melee.  And even then, Lebron wouldn't be suspended.

[RJ87]

Lol @ Reggie "Elbow-gate"
Touche, Reggie. Touche.

[tomatolander]

Don't settle for jumpshots or else the foul count for Cavs will stay at 4

[PosImpos]

Cavs have us right where they want us.  They're keeping it close even though LeBron hasn't taken over yet.

[reggie35]

Celtics getting the Dick Bavetta special tonight. FT's killing them again. KG or Pierce cannot get a call. Why?

[Neurotic Guy]

Not the most comfortable looking lead I've ever seen. 

[Roy Hobbs]

Ouch.  What was Perk thinking there?

Overall, I'll take a 4 point lead, but man, it feels like we squandered an opportunity (with the refs not helping much).

There is no way that Mo Williams can defend Ray Allen ... not when Ray is running off screens looking for a catch and shoot.

Mo Williams is simply too small and too poor defensively to contest that shot.

Ray Allen will consistently get a good look at the rim if they keep going to him off of those screens when Mo Williams is defending him.
