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

Can we all admit while Jaylen's been in there the lead has been reduced from 20 to 13 and Lue just took a time out? Doesn't take a genius to know what to do here.

We need to replace Zeller period.  Play Jaylen  over green and zeller..  Rozier should be getting time as well.

It's not about how hard we play. Sometimes, you just need an upgrade in talent. The Cavs aren't even playing on a high gear today but because they have 2-3 more talented players than us, it makes all the difference. Imagine playing this Cavs team without Lebron.

I think the announcers said that since Lebron came back to the cavs they are 4-14 in games that he doesn't play (I think that is what they said..)
either way I would like to imagine a Cavs team without Lebron, or just the Celtics not having to play Lebron anymore.

Never.  with Kobe retired, a victory against Lebron is the sweetest one of all.  never duck a challenge.

Well I still want us to play them.  We just need a talent upgrade.

oh we most definitely do

Gotta say, the game has changed since Zeller came in. Just having one half decent big out there had such an impact.

I can't wait till Jaylen develops he has got so much talent and potential

[alewilliam789]

See that was a good stretch by JB. If he CONSISTENTLY shows that when he comes in at least defensively he will stay on the floor.
I don't think Brown is a bad player, I love JB. He's just not ready yet and we need to acknowledge that as fans.

Still manageable game. Just need smart decisions on offense and stops.

More like since Zeller came in.

Jaylen!!!

What happened with Smart posting up?

It worked for several games, so Brad went away from it. That seems to be his MO.

This is not complicated.  The Cavs have three players better than anyone we have.  We do have enough talent to compete, however, if we play elite defense.  If we're going to play meh defense, we have no shot.

I don't see Smart posting up this game.

Didn't they come in at the same time? I'm fine with that

Can we admit as fans that we aren't winning a championship this year and the most important part of this year is Jaylen Brown development!
