Celtics (0-2) at Cavaliers (2-0) ECF Game #3 5/21/17

Why didn't the CAVS try some kind of last second play? What team just lets that go?

There was just .1 remaining. You're not allowed/able to catch and shoot with less than .4, and as they were down three, that made tying the game impossible.

Yeah, I get that but you fling it in and tip it toward the basket. It was also impossible for The Celtics to beat the CAVS in game 3 but it happened!

I'm all for never giving up, but extending the game was literally a mathematical impossibility for the Cavs.

Too bad that Bradly shot didn't bounce one more time before dropping. It would have been the perfect buzzer beater

I mean is that tiny miniscule chance worth the injury risk?

If cavs won, they would have set the record for all time consecutive playoff wins. Lebron has to be crying right now.

Inbounds tip-in with an and-1 would have been the only scenario that would've worked me thinks.

If the Celtics let that happen, that fouling player is definitely packing their bags that same night and never return

Good god no more bounces. It almost killed me as it was.

If the Cavs had actually run a play, the C's would've stood on the opposite side of the court.

I think that is the CAVs biggest fear. The more risky situations the Celtics can put them in the better.
