[azzenfrost]

You can do better C's!

[BlastFromThePast]

Love the floor generalship by Smart only to blow it at the rim. 

But follows with a 3.

Well... family took precedence over the game tonight.  My daughter's flight back to California was canceled due to the storm and we've been working on rearrangement plans.... 

And so -- I've missed what is looking like a phenomenal game so far from the boys in Green.   

PLEASE -- give me game synopsis....  Have C's been up all game or just taking over?   Who has looked good tonight?   

Our defence has been spectacular on everyone not named LeBron, and even with him we've been solid.
Love is shooting 1-11
Crowder is 0-5
Wade is 2-10
Green is 2-10

Our offence has been great too, as the shots have been really well spread across all our players. One of our better games

[mr. dee]

LBJ on the bench?

Lue already waiving the white flag.

[azzenfrost]

Still plenty of game left.

Good balance from the C's, we have been up most of the game.  Smart and Rozier doing damage in the 1st half, and Brown and Tatum keeping us rolling in the 2nd half.  Love injured ankle, and we have been playing with a lot of energy.  Excellent game so far except for shooting a bit too many 3's.

TP -- thanks!   Cavs noticeably tired???

Yeah, they seem to be lacking some energy.  bad shooting by the cavs, might be from being tired, not sure.

[SCeltic34]

Man Terry has been on an absolute tear lately.  This is the Rozier I've been waiting to see.

[azzenfrost]

Won't complain if it goes in.

[PAOBoston]

Semi has been beyond bad tonight.

[mr. dee]

Semi has been beyond bad tonight.

He's been consistently bad this season.

[Rosco917]

If only the Cavs could defend

[CelticSooner]

Cavs are clearly tired on the second night of a back to back, but they've looked incredibly mortal this season when I've watched them.

I think people are sleeping on the C's as a true threat to the Cavs in the East. Even with IT back, that's only going to make their defense worse, and their improved offense won't be able to compensate for that poor D against a much more two-way oriented Boston team with elite defense. This is especially true if they continue to play Love at the center spot, which makes their D about as bad as it can be.

A convincing win tonight will do wonders for our team's mentality and confidence knowing that we can beat this team.

If the C's bench continues to improve they'll be a bigger threat. I like what I'm seeing from them lately.

[jpotter33]

Man, Rozier has looked really, really good lately, and he's been pairing nicely with Smart. This is the potential they have leading our bench unit.
