Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[Black Adam]

I agree but when LeBron goes for 42 point, 10 boards and 12 assist and the Cavs still lose, what chance do they have? I think maybe the Cavs will win a game or two.

you have to at LEAST take it into consideration...

If more than just Kovar (1st half) Love (2nd half) played better Cleveland probably wins. He needs others to step up.
It's entirely the hit he took in the 2nd ATF affected his game.

Cat fight!!!! In baby oil, please!!!!

STFU

Truth hurts I know

Lol at thinking Korver can get them over the hump. That would require he have consecutive great games. Not in the CF or Finals.

Stevens deserves all the credit he's getting, but this Celtics team has far more talent than I think they get credit for. That includes me 3 days ago.

Of course you need other players to step up, other than LeBron, if the Cavs expect to win a game!!!

Whatever Steven's is telling them they have bought in.

that really is the key, though...

you know on most nights LeClown's gonna get his. It comes down to limiting what he likes to do, like driving and kicking, and then shutting down his teammates...

Boston did an excellent job in that regard imo...

 

[LAD]

I'm wondering how many more adjustments can Lue really make at this point? He's been tinkering with his starting line up right up to this game lol

 

[msgkings322]

This Celtics team reminds me of the 1975 Warriors championship team. A whole bunch of athletic contributors who played harder than the opposition.
I don't see this year's Warriors squad, if they can upset the Rockets some how, having too much trouble with the Celtics though.

Comedy gold

Cavs are just LAZY. Have been all year. Celtics are the Celtics. Play hard for 48 minutes. Cavs play hard for a half. Thats the only difference here.. EFFORT.

Celtics shouldn't be up 2-0 in any universe if Cavs played with any sort of effort for 4 quarters against this Celtics team missing their two best player. This is a ROOKIE team regardless

Never said he'd get them over the hump, just saying only him and Love gave them any help.

if the Cavs are at the point of expecting Lue to save them...?

"game over, man. game over"...

I don't know, kinda wreaks of attention deprivation at this point.

Yea but Korver isn't going to help much because he's a defensive liability. IMO Nance would be a better option.

That's the same way Birds Celtics played Jordan. You can't really stop him, but you can limit the rest of the team.

That's what I'm saying, others need to carry their weight.

Well except the rest of the team on the Bulls in '86 were awful. The Cavs have reached multiple finals and still have two HOFers and solid role players who can hit the 3.
