The league really has to look at those stupid fouls this summer. Those are so cheap and need to be curbed back.

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

Tsk tsk tsk...such a reaction when it is only one game. 

exactly i mean it has never happened before! LOL

I look forward to watching us play smart and use all areas of the game, and watch fultz, brown and zizic next year

need another 5

Ooh I am looking forward to Smart Fultz brown zizic next season

Why are you looking forward to watching our second unit play?

D E V E L O P M E N T

Yes, go watch the D E V E L O P M E N T league. We're playing with the big boys around here.

Well, KO is back to being worthless. Remember when people were worried about  us not being able to resign him thsi summer after game 7 lol

[hwangjini_1]

Crowder!

[CF0022]

I don't understand why KO is starting.  I like him off the bench. Amir should be starting this series or we go small.

[arctic 3.0]

Those were open 3s we were missing in first half.
Cavs D isn't that sharp
We hit a normal percentage and it's a close game.

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

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[CF0022]

Lebron is definately fired up this year.  We can't let it intimidate us though. 

[hwangjini_1]

Cleveland sure does whine a lot.

[crimson_stallion]

When the hell is the NBA going to do something BS foul calls when shooters jump in to defenders.  It's absolutely ridiculous.

Al Horford didn't come close to touching Love, who clearly went out of his way to jump sideways into Horford...and the foul is on Horford.

What is a defender supposed to do?  Just not come within 5 metres of a shooter just in case they jump in to you?

Total garbage, and I'm sick to death of it.

[jpotter33]

Love is simply DESTROYING Al tonight.

Is crowder back from the dead?
