Celtics (3-1) at Cavs (4-0) Game #5 11/3/16

[blink]

ok I am all for ending the Smart on Lebron experiment.  giving up too many inches

[Kuberski33]

 60 pts with 5 min to go in half...man are we getting spanked.

Yes, there are like 15 guys better than him, at least.

Nah.  I am the guy who calls players out who don't play defense, if you've seen me on here you know, but he is so good on offense that you get past it.  Best offense beats that defense.  Curry is the same way.  I know some people think Curry is good on defense, I think they're crazy and he's the same.

It's not just the defense, though. Notice how I said "scorer," not "offensive talent." I know Bron does a lot of creation, but Kyrie is somewhat unwilling/unable to create for others. He's an awesome player, but there are 15 better ones out there.

[Snakehead]

Great defense by Smart on Kyrie there.

[TrueFan]

Oh nice Smart. Maybe he needs to do more trick shots.

[tomrod]

Brown looks awful and doesnt seem to care about it

He's not a great passer but he play makes and he is really that good of a scorer.  He's a top 10 player for sure.  Like I'm saying, I consider it all, defense a ton, but this guy is unguardable.  You need to put the right team around him but Cleveland has.

[jpotter33]

Ugghh, just absolutely no rebounding out there.

[cltc5]

Man do we have a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ty team

[tomrod]

soft defense, no communication or emotion without Crowder

[LarBrd33]

Watching the game on a bit of a delay.  Great start from Jaylen.  Huge confidence boost doing that against the greatest player in the world.

[mctyson]

only one word for the defense right now.

yikes

[j804]

only one word for the defense right now.

yikes

Can you blame them though without Jae and Horford were cooked

[blink]

Brown looks awful and doesnt seem to care about it

huh?  what?  1 bad play against that o-rebound beast Tristan takes away a pretty solid game so far?  cmon

[jpotter33]

Man do we have a ****ty team

With absolutely no context considered, sure, we have a terrible team. 

Cough missing three rotation players and two starters cough
