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

[jpotter33]

Another game incompetent officiating killed us toward the end.

That "kick ball" call was atrocious. His foot was nowhere near that. Just a terrible, terrible job of officiating.

This is why you must have Coach Challenges. Astounding how incompetent officiating is.

[mr. dee]

Lost in the first game by 6, lost in the second game by 6.

[walker834]

We were very close to a classic celtics come back.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Great fourth quarter despite the L.

Great quarter, but they need to show up a liiiiiiiiiitle earlier next time.

[Clench123]

God Horford is terrible.

He's not but he's not worth 26 million

[esel1000]

This game was decided as soon as we went back to small ball for the last minutes. Heroics by Bradley and IT weren't going to be enough. Certainly not on the road here.

Brad is taking a huge step backwards this year

Too be fair it's not like we have the players to go big...

[alewilliam789]

Brad loses another game for us by "just letting them play" instead of drawing up an ATO, which, you know, he's notoriously good at.

Terrible coaching. He's been very subpar all year long. Absolutely hate not calling timeouts in those situations. So Stupid.

How's he been sub-par? Brad knew that the Cavs have been doubling IT all game off the screen. Runs a Pick and Pop with Crowder. Crowder gets and open 3 and he misses.
Crowder just missed the [dang] shot

It was a good shot, just didnt go down. The crap call when Lebron tripped cost us the game though.

Exactly that completely gave them a free posession and reset the shot clock. Lebron's a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. and he maintains that with this bs win

[tomrod]

Why a three...

he was open


And then they wouldn't have to play overtime on the road

Yeah I was just upset, it was a good shot.

[liam]

Brad should've rode those guys that got Us back in the game. Ah well...

[max215]

Sucks to get a loss, but that was a really fun game.

[trickybilly]

That was a good look for a 40% guy.

By the way, who is Avery Bradley?

[cltc5]

Good effort though. Just need something more... don't know what it is, I hope Ainge knows.

Are you kidding?  That man hasn't figured it out yet

[tomrod]

Horford needs to be stronger and more aware and just draw the foul there if they are fouling you

Not to mention the LeBron "block" on Bradley on which LeBron got all hand.

Yeah its hard to believe in the NBA fair competition when this stuff happens regularly and the TV commentators and officials gloss over it.
