Celtics (19-13) at Cavaliers (23-7) Game #33 12/29/16

[esel1000]

Stevens is simply not doing a good job coaching this year. He puts in Jaylen. Jaylen does some of his best basketball and they pull close. Immediately takes him out. Cavs pull away. Just bad coaching this year. Rewarding softness. Punishing good play. That's Brad this year.

funny this is not the first time he done that.

Jaylen blew two defensive assignments that's why he got pulled. He needs to have better awareness defensively if he's going to play because plays like that kill us in this types of games

Then why aren't the other players blowing defensive assignments getting pulled?

Because nobody would be on the court

As long as the Celtics can keep this deficit below 8 by halftime.. we have a chance.

If everyone got pulled for blown defensive assignments no one would play. Look at Green, Kelly, JJ, etc...

But for our young player it doesn't send a good message to play him anyways? You want him to become disciplined and make the right plays and considering we have Green coming in and cooking than he should know we don't have to play him. He needs to earn his minutes.

Smart shooting a 3 early in the shot clock = not a good possession.

Like that soft 7ft scrub that just froze and let kyrie have an easy layup.

[LilRip]

Kyrie and Lebron both don't seem to want to be too aggressive when they're guarded by Smart and Bradley.

[jpotter33]

Well, we're not hitting the long ball this half. Shooting 31% compared to their 50%. That generally changes at halftime for us, or vice versa. So that's good news.

No it's because he came in and almost right away gave up two 3 point shots

So Jaylen should be held to a standard that no one else on the team is? What does that teach a young player?

[apc]

I am very jealous at how the Cavs shooting 3s.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Nice "block" by LeBron. 

[alewilliam789]

This is bs. No call on Lebron with Bradley, but his Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. ass gets that call

[jpotter33]

AB's BBIQ is soooooooo low. STOP TRYING TO DUNK ON LEBRON!

[mainevent]

ALL hand! I CANT STAND Lebron!
