I'm sorry but what exactly did people expect us to do against the Cavs in the playoffs? It was obvious all season long that our roster is far inferior, it is quite an accomplishment that we made the playoffs and fought as hard as we have against them this series.

We accomplished a lot, I love this adversity today because it shows us what we really have in some of these guys, right before we make some big moves this summer.

So sad... at this point, from our 2008 Championship starters, only two players remain that haven't soured the memories. Pierce and KG.

I still love Rondo.
+1 I agree. I like Tony Allen as well ::)

Tony wasn't a starter, as for Rondo... whether you love him or not, his uninspired and non-effort plays have soured it for me. Expected more from him, and he came lackadaisical, though he behaved during our rebuilding so that's something.

And his drama with Dallas just makes me think less of him, so in turn it tarnishes my memories.

I think these playoffs have shown Danny who the keepers are.

Maybe, just maybe he would have resigned or been not willing to trade certain guys based only on the last 36 regular season games. Now he has 4 playoff games to determine who the real ballers are.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Those big moves will be a lot tougher with our players losing value in this playoff series. The only two players I can say helped themselves are Sullinger who still carries a lot of question marks and Crowder who may not even be a Celtic next year.

Really disappointed with Bradley's performance this series. I believe he was one of the most experienced guys in the playoffs on our team, and he's really been non-existent, which is even worse given who was generally guarding him.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

the gamers to me were Smart, Sullinger and Crowder.

Stevens coaching us to just take it from these guys. I now feel sick after watching how that went down
The proper response is to keep your poise and not get thrown off your game.  Perkins move was calculated.  Actually very impressed with Cleveland's toughness.

Yep. Those are the same ones i liked. Thomas proved hes just a good 6th man in my opinion

It is amazing that this team made the playoffs. I really do not think this group is anything more than a 30 win type team. To play .500 ball (above .500) for as long as they have done is remarkable.

I do not see them being able to maintain this success next season without major improvements from some of those young players.

We have this one in the bag. Now time to figure out how to win game 5.


Draft: 8 first rounders in next 5 years.

Cap space: $24 mil.

First two plays were baseline jumpers for Zeller?
