Ha, ha, these announcers sure do enjoy washing lebron's balls  ;Ddont they?

I mean, he IS spanking us Fifty Shades of Grey style right now. What else are they supposed to do?

Love Crowder, but we're not winning **** with him shooting 3's

Yes, he only shot 40% during the regular season. Should have been 50%.

[crimson_stallion]

There is no team in the East with the defense to stop Cleveland. The Celtics could shoot 50% in a game and still lose.

That's not true at all.  Boston earlier in the game were 1-15 from three - and most of those were wide open - and were down by like 20 points. 

If Boston hits half those threes, that's 20+ extra points and you have a tied game.

In addition to that, how many layups has Horford missed?  How many relatively open midrange jumpers have we missed?  We can't buy a basket.

Then ON TOP of that we are getting murdered on the boards, and we have made a number of careless turnovers.

All of that taken into account we should be down by 40 right now - the fact that it's 'only' a 24 point game is all the proof you need that this Cleveland team is very much beatable.

Boston is doing the exact same thing they did in the first two games at Chicago, and each home game at Washington - they are playing like total trash.  How many times did Boston go down by 20+ points against Washington?   

This result so far has NOTHING to do with Cleveland's play and EVERYTHING to do with Boston's play.  If Boston plays like they are perfectly capable of (with energy, with effort, with physicality) there is absolutely no doubt that they can beat this Cleveland team on any given night.

I was going to make a comment that would get me banned, but I'll just agree with you.

Imagine if the Celts had Zizic....  Celts rebounding numbers would look much better

who cares about playing smart? playing disciplined? who cares about rebounding?  who cares about having a postgame?

ALL GRAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!sigh SMDH

[Ogaju]

Please tell me that the home crowd did not boo our guys at the end of half ??

I know this is no fun to watch, but this team has busted it to get to the ECF - they deserve some respect.

If they booed this team, then that was a dumbazz  move.

We are the only rebuilding team out of the last 4 standing. The other 3 teams are solid contenders. Our crew of rebuilding players muscle us to the ECF and the silly fans boo? Come on now.

[jpotter33]

My God, Love is just bending Horford over and spanking him tonight.

[JOMVP]

Where is Jaylen? He was playing so good.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

[liam]

We are not a rebuilding team.

Lebron loves to instruct the refs.
