Cavaliers (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) ECF Game #1 5/17/17

[CF0022]

There is definately a disparity witht he celtics and the refs compared to other top teams.  It's like what i read in the media too. There is a definate bias to other teams vs just calling the game how it's supposed to be called.  That isn't my bias either.

joke of a game

[j804]

Missed open threes, missed free throws, getting outrebounded. Yea this isn't even going to be close.

all cavs like doing is play 1 on 1 basketball

you need to double team love right away

[Neurotic Guy]

Cavs exploiting every match-up -- dominating offensively.  Thing is, C's have missed open looks from deep and at least 3 lay-ups.   This should be closer.

why the hell is Marcus guarding Love in the post?  he's eating him alive

He's getting away with a charge and a crazy hook! No one can guard that...

[mr. dee]

I don't really mind switching as long as they are capable on guarding mismatches. The problem is they don't

Because we're switching on the DWill/Love screens

take out IT4 and insert rozier

Lol these refs are so BS already. Smart gets two tick tack fouls then a no-call on the charge. Horsecrap.

Common he flopped, he knew that was his only chance

[jpotter33]

Strangely confident about this game. I felt the same way for Chicago game 3 and Washington game 7, so hopefully those results continue on in our favor!

I'm confident too, but in the other direction.

Yup.

Good Lord, I don't think even you and the other skeptics thought they'd come out and look this timid and shell-shocked. That's pretty unexpected when we're supposedly a "character" bunch.

Completely agree.  If the C's controlled the switches better and boxed out, they'd probably be in this game.

[Tr1boy]

Celtics should be passing the ball to Brown more... he is too explosive for the cavs 2nd unit

 Because we are switching when we should be fighting through screens.  What the hell is this strategy on def??  Cmon this is on Brad.  Sheesus
