Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[AlpacaWine]

You're getting critical over a 4-point win? Really? Sometimes a 4-point win could mean a missed bucket by the trailing team to tie/win a game then are forced to foul.

You nag more than my fiance. Okay fine, whatever. Boston would sweep every team in the playoffs. Strange times.

I'm not getting critical over anything except you completely misrepresenting the truth.

Own it. Or don't. But it's not my fault.

Don't say this often (or at all the last several years), but this playoff loss was on LeBron. And its not because of his stats, it was his attitude from the get go.

I don't know what was going on, but I told my son in the 1st quarter, this was not the same focused, locked in LeBron. 3 or 4 times in the 1st half he thought he deserved a call, and just stopped and hung his shoulders and looked at the ref instead of getting back on D. He does that a lot in the regular season, but he hasn't done it at all in the playoffs until last night. He was turning the ball over left and right, looking at the refs, and never seemed to be enjoying anything, even when it was going well.

I'm glad the Cavs lost. I mean, I would've rather seen them play like they've been playing and get the win... but I'm glad they didn't get away with playing like that.

For as much of a beast that LeBron is, he certainly gets and demands the diva treatment. He's so Cam Newton like. Brothers seperated at birth.

Isn't a bigger diva in sports than Brady, sorry.

I'm not wasting my time on an illegitimate product.

I trust WWE more than the NBA after that game.

Which game are you talking about?

LOL, what? Brady is never anything but classy and professional in every interview he gives, ever. To a fault.


When has he ever pulled that crap with the media, even once?

There is plenty of room last I checked there is no quota. However, I don't recall Brady throwing teamates under the bus nor walking out of post game pressers... sure Mrs. Brady makes him dress like an idiot on occasion and like most QBs is always looking for a flag.
But I don't have him even in the top 10.

Game 7 2010 Finals.

On the field. There isn't a bigger whine about calls than Brady.

Game 7 2010 Finals.

You blame the refs for that?

I thought that was the one game in the series that the refs actually let them play.

 

[knowyourenemy]

I turned the game off at halftime and turned it back on with like a minute left. What the hell happened?

They made up calls to keep the lakers in the game.

Gasol fucking punched rondo in the face (accidentally, but still) and didn't even get a foul.

The fact that KG and Rondo didn't shoot more FTs than Gasol and Kobe is an embarrassment.

I'll say it again. drive to the basket and don't turn into jump shooters...

LOL, huh?

Wide receivers cry for flags after every single incomplete pass. NBA players flop all over the place for calls and then wig out every single time they get a whistle blown on them.

But you have a problem with Tom Brady being one of 32 QBs who looks for flags when he gets hit low?

Gimme a break. That's just absurd.

P. Rivers calls bull-shit
I didn't realize you were qualifying divas by on field calls solely?
Be expecting a call from OBJ. How dare you dis him like that.

Can't say that I remember it that way.

I understand that Tom Brady haters are a different breed. You can't watch pro sports and objectively say that Tom Brady is the biggest diva in sports. You simply can't do it. The guy is the posterboard for how you want players to carry themselves, how you want them to compete and how you want them to work hard.

THIS...

Rivers is one of the game's biggest bitches EVER. one of the reasons i despise the guy...

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Favored by 5, win by 40.

Favored by 16, lose outright.

Nah, it's not fixed...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

4 points is a 1 possession game now?

Often. Yes.
You've never seen a 3 point shooter get fouled in the act?
