What needs to change for game 5?

[Tr1boy]

Your thoughts... Strategy?

Or does the team need a miracle (Lebron catches the flu etc.)

Less Crowder, more Jerebko.


 I am sadly serious.

Crowder with an open pass to the Celtics bench..turnover. even cbs was like Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.

*Facepalm*

Crowder does not box out Love for easy tip in

Play with a lot of energy. This team likes to have their backs to the wall and it doesn't get any greater than to lose 3 home games. I expect them to win.

I think I would start JJ. The Cavs are slowly figuring out the offense without IT.

Make Irving work on defense.

If we're down in the 4th start hack-a-Tristan and get the ball out of Irving\Bron's hands.

Move the ball, move the ball and move the ball.

It's pretty simple at this point.

Lue and LBJ are already saying that Stevens offense is hard to defend when everyone is a threat and IT isn't holding the ball. Now when LBJ endorses a coach and all other players hear it, that's gold for FA. I think the Cavs could wear down if we can hit a decent amount of shots.

Man, the Cavs shot 70% in the 2nd half and 60% for the game...that's nuts.

We got a very brief look at the Smart Bradley Brown Crowder Horford lineup, we should start that lineup and hope for Brown to have a breakout game.

A one-game rental of Zaza Pachulia.

[jambr380]

Either a very large halftime lead or a very small halftime deficit. I don't trust this team in the 2nd half when they are winning.

[Chris22]

We need to shoot better.

[max215]

Our luck. Seriously. Our shots need to fall and theirs can't. With the talent disparity, that's our only hope.

I think either this lineup or a lineup of smart Bradley Crowder jerebko horford would better suit us. Every1 can switch on defense and I'd like a more athletic player on love who can get back out to contest his threes. As soon as someone like KO or Amir is the 5th guy they immediately expose it. Pick n roll with Kelly or Amir switching and then you have an absolute mismatch with whoever they switch onto

Ugh, those two plays irked me to no end. The other one way JJ long 3 pointer and then let's Love leak out for a easy bucket.

Sloppy with the ball and too cute with the passes at times.

I agree.. game 3 pretty much

[Tr1boy]

I mean celts were fanatsic in the 1st... Just couldnt keep it up =T

[johnnygreen]

I don't think much needs to change, if at all. They were leading for almost 3 quarters in game 4, and Cleveland didn't take their first lead until Irving got in a zone, and had an historic playoff quarter. Cleveland shot around 70% at one point, and the Celtics were still within striking distance with around two minutes left in the game. I am very optimistic that the Celtics win game 5. I went into this series thinking the Celtics would be lucky to win one game. In no way would I have ever believed they would have lost the way they did in games 1 and 2. However, after seeing them play the last two games, I'm feeling pretty good about winning game at home.
