Cavs (1-1) at Celtics (1-1) Game 3 5/7

[houseonfire09]

On the plus side, the Sox aren't getting no hit anymore, and the B's just scored.

some night you just gotta tip your hat to the other guy. james' first quarter was what the cavs needed and got them going. gotta hope things change from here on out

The crowd needs to be cheering their butts off if they want any chance of a C's comeback.

This isn't the regular season they should not be booing.

I do agree with this. And I've been VERY hard on the team this season.

i saw easily 4,000 empty seats at tipoff - the crowd needs to boo themselves for that embarrassment.

Wow.

You guys want to blame the fans for a team that is not defending. At all.

And not attacking offensively. At all.

And not rebounding. At all.

Please. That was an absolutely disgraceful display of inept basketball.

I blame fans for lack of energy in the building! Have you ever played in front of a home crowd? It can lift you to greatness. This crowd is not bringing it!  The Celtics need a lift! Home court is supposed to be an advantage!!!

Played, and coached. For years. The crowd is a non-factor, at this level and at any level post high-school and any attempt to rationalize this putrid half of basketball on it is specious. Rather like trying to alibi away a loss on officiating.

remember America didn't give up when Germany bombed Pearl Harbour.

i hope to God you are not that stupid.

let me guess, you are one of our wonderkind Gen X sloths who never paid attention to anything while growing up other than MTV and video games.

Nice job on the Gen-X stereotyping. 

I guess neither of you have heard of Animal House?

Good stuff!!

[Bahku]

LOL!!  I guess the Animal House thing went above a few heads here...  emotions are running high...

Above a few heads?!? Maybe below a few feet! lol!

Come ON Celtics! It IS Possible!!

So who is more at fault here, the bad fans at the Garden or the fact that Commissioner Stern fixed the game?

I agree as well. Sure respect has to be earned etc etc, but the crowd needs to give some energy to the team, not deflate it. Booing does NOT help the team, and afterall, we want the team right? We need some energy!

Celtics called for 8 fouls in the first quarter. Cavs called for 7 fouls in the first half.

LOL I've seen games called like this before and the team getting screwed by the calls has never won. Sorry guys stern is putting his boy through to the next round. I gotta go watch some WWE now. This game is too obvious.

Exactly. The crowd is a red herring. The refs are a red herring.

The Celtics played poorly.

[celticinorlando]

well this just sucks.

Have you ever seen a slightly influential comedic film called Animal House?

i was hoping it was a joke of some kind - but forgive me for missing a punch line - i teach high school math and i know how stupid and uncaring much of the new generation is in this country.

saying "Owned" is just one more example of this idiotic attitude that i "stereotyped."

Both. We should cheer our team on in the face of the fix!!

I think that may have to do more with ticket prices and scalpers than the fans. I would be there if I could afford it. I'm sure many other people would too. Says a lot about the future of the NBA.

do we still have to talk about game 3? can't we just start the game four talk?
