Cavaliers (3-0) at Celtics (0-3) Round 1 Game #4 4/26/15

[LarBrd33]

We are soft

And undersized and untalented.

[Chief]

This team has not been able to hit free throws all year 

The inability to get to the line has been an even bigger issue.

Boston was actually above average with a better than 75% free throw percentage.

That's only because IT4. He almost shotas many free throws in 30+ plus games as the whole team did all year.

Put Smart in.  Only hope right now.  We need some energy

[KeepRondo]

The sad thing is we've had chances to get back into this.

[Who]

Need more size out there. LeBron is getting anything he wants.

What size, exactly?  There a guy on the bench I'm not aware of?

Probably Zeller over Sully.

Or maybe go smaller with Jerebko to get more quickness so LeBron when there are switches.

[CelticSooner]

Didn't want to see this group swept. The guards have been bad in this series.

[positivitize]

Someone should link this to Wallace

CBS is frustrating

This game is over at this rate.  Nobody is scoring anything.

Put on the floor KO and PRessey, WAllace.    What do you have to lose??

IT4 has no room. Because the post is clogged

why not put KO out there?

PUT PRESSEY AND SMART IN, JONAS GIGI

YEA, STAY DOWN SHUMPERT

Uncalled for on your part. Be mad at Perk and JR. Not the entire team.

Cavs effort during this series late in 2nd quarters proves they have dogged it at times. 

They can wreck us at will.

Yeah.  This series has not been a challenge for this opponent.

There's a clear pattern of them flipping the switch at the end of 2nd and 4th quarters.  That's a mark of a team that has complete control and can dominate at will.

You're absolutely ridiculous. The way you rationalize and manipulate what you see to fit with what you predicted is just masterful. Logically unsound, but masterful.

Dude they showed a graphic a few minutes ago that clearly proves they have dominated us at the end of the 2nd quarter. They even said "this is the time when the cavs have taken control".  The cavs have destroyed us whenever they wanted.

The thing is that you're rationalizing everything into a will of the Cavs, not even entertaining the idea of young Celtics folding under the pressure as the stakes become higher as halves are ending. Which is what's actually happening more than anything. We aren't consistent... nothing new there, that's been our story the full season.

Thank you, TP.

So you're saying Boston is just completely inferior to Cleveland.  Agreed.   Either Cavs flip a switch or their superior talent just shines through naturally.   Either way, there's never been a point in this series where Cleveland was at risk of losing.  Whereas Boston in 2008 lost three games against sub .500 Atlanta,  this Cleveland team couldn't lose to Boston if they tried.

Results in the 2nd quarter have proven that Cleveland can consistently take over whenever necessary.

Game 1:  Tied with 5:48 left.   Cavs finish quarter up 8.
Game 2:  Celtics up 9 with 4:37 left.   Cavs finish quarter up 1.
Game 3:  1 point game with 1:10 left.  Cavs finish quarter up 8.
Game 4:  Cavs up 11 with 3:30 left.  Cavs finish quarter up 21. 

They flip the switch and take over.

Why don't they "flip the switch" so LeBron isn't having to play 42 minutes a game?

Mike

He's mostly just out there jogging and getting his teammates involved.  He's unstoppable when he takes it to the hoop and he only seems to do that when necessary because it takes effort.  He's probably saving himself for the real playoffs.

Unbelievable.
