Cavs (3-3) at Celtics (3-4) Game 8 11/14/14

Even if it's a bad shot, you have to take a shot. Ugh.

EXACTLY. 

Rondo should realize by now he is not a 4th quarter or a guy ability to make clutch shots.  He has pretty much never won a game like that for the team.   If BS drew up that play, he is a dummy

[Beat LA]

Well that was pathetic, but I expected us to lose.  I wish I had been wrong, but the past two games remind me of the 04-05 to 06-07 years, when we'd always blow the lead down the stretch - and that was with Pierce, so even though Rondo made a mistake at the end, I don't think that it was his fault that we lost.  Sigh.  I don't know what you guys expected from such a young team, lol.

[Jailan34]

Normally I might take the chance to pile on, but I just feel bad for him. Rondo isn't suited for this role, he's not a go to guy.

I put this one on the coach.  Overdoing it with the subs in the game late in the 4th.  You can't just bring KO back for one offensive possession after sitting for a couple minutes.  Sully sat too long, Rondo didn't come back in soon enough... just terrible.

[satch]

Poorly designed and poorly executed.

[GetLucky]

UGH Rondo c'mon! It stinks because that's excusable any other time- he knew what he wanted to do got knocked out of rhythm, and wasn't able to do what he waned. Kevin Love is hopefully thinking how awesome Boston is. And why did Rondo only play 31 minutes? the stats and highlights say he did well in the minutes he got.

[Vox_Populi]

That will disturb me for hours.

[Neurotic Guy]

3-5 with a lot of positive play over the course of these games.   C's played 3 great quarters tonight and hung in there in the end.  Wish they shot the dang ball on that last possession.

6:08 am here. No way to head off to a half day of work. :-(

this Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. happens every game.

Wow----we lose by ONE Freeking Point----after being completely BUTT-SKREWED by the Refs in the 4th Quarter---That Call when Irving threw the ball out of bounds---and they GIFTED him 2 free throws as HE ran into KO----was AMAZING----All Time History of the NBA FAKE/FIX the game Call-----WOWWWWW---!!

[letsgoblue86]

Much rather have Jeff Green with the ball at the end there

[4THQTR]

What a disappointing loss...

Still plenty to like about this game, it's just hard to remember after a finish like that

[jpotter33]

I'm too emotionally invested in this particular C's team. I'm going to have a stroke if we blow one more big lead like this. Stevens HAS to start stopping these runs either with timeouts or putting the freaking starters back in earlier.

[SparzWizard]

It's becoming redundant that the Celtics are up by 18, 19, 23 and still blow the lead in the 4th quarter and lose.

That's never good.
