Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[TurnUpTheHeat]

That's fair. But Love is the only consistent player they have outside LeBron. I'd rather have a consistent love than a consistent Jeff green.

I'll wear this avi in honor of Boston's game tonight until you select my new one.

 

[podsox]

The thought is that he had more help then.

He won on the road with the best player by his side being JR Smith and Jeff Green.

Ya but look at the opponents. 3 all NBA players vs al horford and a bunch of young kids

 

[Black Adam]

I dont know how I feel about me and skip Bayless having the same thought at the same time.

it SHOULD frighten you...

 

[bksballer89]

Brown, Rozier, and Smart shot 8-42 tonight.

Why is the media treating this as greater than coming back from 3-1 to a 73 win warriors team?

I don't think they are, but I DO think they are treating it as a bigger deal than taking the 2007 Cavs to this finals... Which Im not sure I agree with.

This is a much more talented group than the 2007 group, but that group was a better team and played great defense. So I guess you could argue either way.

Brown, Rozier, and Smart shot 8-42 tonight.

It seemed worse, plus most were rushed, forced shots which prob prevented them from getting much better looks.

The Celtics must have missed 8 straight 3s in the 4th.

......yet kept launching them.

 

[tlance]

I picked them to beat the Cavs in seven games. I'm not surprised they beat the Bucks either.

Sure.

At the beginning of this series.

Would you have made that call before the playoffs started?

There was actually talk on the regular season thread about the lower seeds tanking to try and manipulate a first round matchup with Boston. The prevailing thought was that they were cooked once Kyrie went out.

Listen, not trying to Shit on your team.

But, LeBron carrying this squad to the Finals is nothing short of miraculous.

......yet kept launching them.

once again, basketball 101, boys and girls...

Brad Stevens probably should've addressed that imo...

 

[tlance]

Love will be back.
Good or bad?

Inconsequential

That is true. Sports is about the moment.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Dude, they getting swept in the Finals.

So, you have that to look forward too.

Maybe not IF Houston wins and CP3 is hurt LOL

 

[Mecca]

Brown, Rozier, and Smart shot 8-42 tonight.

...and Morris can't make free throws.

 

[Shanemansj13]

...and Morris can't make free throws.

Fuck Morris and his twin!

 

[gordontrue]

When you stop and look at the fact that Kyrie left and here they are back to the same point they got last year.... That's pretty amazing. LeBron basically filled his role and Kyries role this season.

 

[Black Adam]

Maybe not IF Houston wins and CP3 is hurt LOL

wouldn't bet the house on THAT...

 

[ericd7633]

What a game by Lebron. Fucking Insane. Dude just went the whole 48. Simply incredible.

 

[Mecca]

once again, basketball 101, boys and girls...

Brad Stevens probably should've addressed that imo...

I guess they stuck with what got them there.

Rozier was fucking surgical from 3 this Post Season.

I guess the pressure just got to him.

But, not Tatum.

Boston has some interesting decisions to make next year.

How the Hell do you put Brown, Rozier or Tatum on the bench?

 

[DJ]

Horrendous.

But not 7 of 44 like you said. Me proving you wrong is turning into a thing.
