We start losing the  cutsie little comments start coming out that p--- me off. Have to get angry and light a switch. Cleveland defintaely came out fired up and intimidating us when we were not at our best for sure.

First Lopez, then Gortat, now Love/Thompson.

Celtics making these guys look like Prime Shaq and Duncan. 

To be fair, Love and Thompson are excellent rebounders, and Thompson is particularly excellent at offensive rebounding. They destroy everyone, not just us.

Thompson can easily get manhandled by a real center. Biyombo owned him last year and guys like Dwight have a field day with him. Zizic is the antidote the doctor ordered.

As far as halfttime alcohol sales in Boston ? Do you think they are breaking a record now?

we will come back and take this game !

im confident !

A hot streak will vault us back into this game, but I don't see us coming all the way back and winning the game.

Well, we're playing for momentum for Game 2. Although, ultimately, I feel that the fact that we're getting barely no rest between these games, and the Cavs have basically played half of the games we did will do us in.

Realize I'm going to be hated......but Brad I think is overrated. A coach should be able to get his guys to play disciplined. This team really hasn't played that way going back to the bulls series. Ill advised 3's, bad defense, poorrebounding and simply street ball play is all I've seen this team do for the whole playoffs. It would be one thing if we were just getting beat due to a gap in talent, but this doesn't need to be going down this way.

Maybe I'm just spoiled from having seen the big 3 play, but this kind of ball is nauseating to watch.

Theyre missing wide open shots.  1-15 from three.  That's a player issue, not a coaching one.  And most people are predicting a sweep for good reason.  Cleveland is light years better than us.

I agree they are better than us, but it's not like the 3's they missed were spit up shots. Honestly, it's like watching a D-league vs pro scrimmage. Make that extra pass, box out, and fight for the rebound. These are basic things middle schoolers are taught, yet they have an immunity to doing the simple things. This team plays very unorganized, that's on the coach.

cant argue with that sadly CBS p---e sme off at times. no excuse for this lacking basics

We've got this guy's. Everyone knows 2nd half = Klynyk time.

If the worst thing that ever happens to you in life is cutsie comments, consider yourself blessed.

So, do we pull another Chicago series stunt and just go small? We're going to live and die by the three anyways, might as well concede the rebounding battle that we aren't going to win anyways if it gives us more shooting and spacing.

[SCeltic34]

Horford has been terrible on both ends of the floor.  Not bashing him because he's been absolutely terrific the entire playoffs otherwise.  But I really hope he gets it together in game 2.

Yes, DA sees it, and responds by saying Zeller has to step up
