Celtics (23-34) at Cavaliers (37-24) Game #57 3/3/15

[danglertx]

against the cavs small ball does not work at all

Sully and KO really missed tonight imo

Sully would have made a huge difference this game... it's too bad I really think if he was healthy with the addition of IT we'd have a real shot at the playoffs

KO also. 

Jerebko was on a hot streak. He has come down to earth.

Can't do much outside of crash the basket and score the open 3

Jerebko isn't getting any shots, what do you want him to do?  They run nothing for him, they NEVER pass to the roll guy and seldom the pop guy.  You can only do so much when you aren't a guard with the ball in your hands.

this looks like us playing vs every team Lebron has ever played for. same effing crap! their dudes play with their hands all over our dudes or slap at players hands when they drive, so they become discouraged to drive(- hence all the jump shots). then on offense they all hold off the defender with the off-ball hand.

same effing crap! I'm so sick of the fake good Lebron's

I mean, do you remember KG's "screens" during his time here?  It's part of the NBA.

And then there is this: http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2015/03/03/isaiah-thomas-not-worried-about-charges-that-carries-ball/9MmYQWUBp78oHhuQjEyX7I/story.html

the only experience Lebron shared with every team he's played for is - foul on every play, they won't call it.

this is why Lebron hasn't won as much as he should with all the opportunities he's had. because when the games become less n' less and it gets down to 2 teams the microscope comes out and the refs and the NBA would look ridiculous when their largest viewing audience of the season is watching.

KG was one player, if it was just Lebron getting away with crap i'd live with it but when their entire roster gets away with it, it's an unwatchable product.

Again, this looks like every game we've ever played against a Lebron team. the heart on the NBA has for this clown is laughable.

How can you not watch this game and be in awe over what he's done. It has nothing to do with getting calls.

[Tr1boy]

Someone should check to see if Lebron is on PED.   

This guy looks like a monster

[jpotter33]

Lebron is on another level from players like Curry and Westbrook.

He just broke our team's soul. He's the boogy man.

I don't think he's on another level anymore. He's only been playing like this for like the last couple of months or so. Curry, Harden, and Westbrook have been playing like this all season.

Of course he'll have games like this still where he just dominates, but I don't think he's a clear cut above the other major stars like he used to be.

+1.

Maybe but that was amazing footwork on that play against Turner. And nice instincts on that one on one when Bradley reached. By far best player in NBA

[Tr1boy]

So Cavs and Gsw for the finals? or Cavs and Rockets?

[Rosco917]

The Cavs are physically stronger than the C's. That's why Shav went in.

Well said

[GreenWarrior]

Cue the doomsday/trade everyone/we suck posts lol

well, I never thought we were as good as a lot of C's fans believe. as we're only talking playoffs because the state of the east...once again.

but I will say this, this game should not be considered a barometer as to how good so n' so is. because the NBA decided this game a while ago.

[Csfan1984]

Wooooooooow this is a reality check.

Exactly what was needed. Forget the playoffs and FA. Need two years of team building.

yup.

Like many have said, we are a legit rim protector and sf away from being a threat

not saying he's not good. I will say he's not as good as he's made out to be.

go back and watch the 1st qrtr. it was the lack of calls that completely dictated the way this game has played out. it's over you can go to bed now, Lebron had a great game.

[esel1000]

Where would the Cavs be if they didn't win the lottery (again...)? I'm not one for conspiracy theories but the NBA owned Hornets winning when Davis was the pick and the Cavs winning it again with Lebron entering FA... it's fishy

[jpotter33]

Depends if Chicago has a healthy Rose and Butler for the playoffs. If so, I still don't see them getting past the Bulls in the EC. Hell, Irving and Love have never even been in the playoffs, and Love is notoriously a horrible clutch player. So let's not crown them the champs just yet.

Maybe if you only considered offense.
