Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

This series is over. CELTICS IN 6!

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.

He can be over the top demonstrative when he feels calls didn't go his way or a team mate runs a wrong route. He's not w/o fault.

But off the field ie. Press conferences, work ethic... he's not even close to some of the DIVAS in all sports.

 

[Rex Racer]

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

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

umm, LeClown imploded...?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Okay, 1 point difference. Jesus Christ you like to argue.

I'm willing to concede that the Celtics would likely BEAT Miami in a playoff series. But to think it's a definitive sweep is straight laughable. Especially considering that Miami had the best record in the league since January sans Golden St.

Actually you were correct in both cases.
4 points can be 1 possession.
He likes to argue.

C's are a better team without Isiah dominating the ball and shots apparently

 

[AlpacaWine]

Favored by 5, win by 40.

Favored by 16, lose outright.

Nah, it's not fixed...

Sens were competitive yesterday.

 

[AlpacaWine]

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

Never in history has a 4 point lead been called a one possession game.

Pretending otherwise while claiming that I'm the one who likes to argue = LOLOL

Makes a huge difference on the defensive end of the floor. No matter who he is matched up with, a deep team like Cleveland can create a mismatch.

Forget about Kyrie Irving. Guys like Shumpert, Korver, Williams, Smith can all get any look they want.

 

[The Q]

Can't say that I remember it that way.

Gasol and Kobe shot like 40 FTs.

Most of them incorrectly.

The Celts went up huge and then magically a parade of absurd FTs happened.

Gasol traveled, and then was caught lying out of bounds with the ball (which somehow wasnt' reviewed even though it was under 2 minutes) and then fouled Rondo twice on the same rebound (over the back and hitting him in the face) leading to more laker points.

And that's just a TINY sliver.

Larry Johnson's phantom foul, absurd continuation, and 1? lol

if the C's win game 4 all Hell'll break loose around here...

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.

i think he jut started deferring early since Kyrie and Love and some other guys were shooting so well- and he never really got it going after that in the 2nd half.

Pretty sure all hell has just about broken loose. LeBron has 1 bad game & it's like the Celtics pulled off the upset or something.

CP3 had his chance to come here....he's not coming here now.

Did we watch the same game? LeBron didn't get it going in the 1st half either.

I'd rather the Celtics pick up Jeremy Linn over CP3.

yeah, not like that at all...

no wonder you're the king of insight around here...

dude- thats what im saying- he deferred in the first half since everyone was shooting well and he didnt need to get it going- and tried to turn it on in the 2nd half when his teammates shooting went cold- and it just wasnt there forhim.

I'm only around here for the free popcorn.
