Game 80 | Cleveland Cavaliers (51-28) @ Boston Celtics (37-42) | April 12, 2015 | 3:00pm EST

Not sure why any Boston fan would be that giddy about beating the Cavs when they clearly are resting their starters...

I mean, it's great for them because they're that much closer to locking up a playoff spot, but they're locking themselves into a first round matchup with the Cavs. If the Cavs were playing anywhere close to 100% effort with all of their players they would blow the doors off of this team.

Still, of all the big market teams, Boston is the one I hate the least. Hungry young players, good young coach, passionate fans. They've taken their lumps recently and I will most certainly be paying attention to what they become in the next few years.

Living in the past, going way back, I hate the Celtics the most ... the arrogance, like the Yankees of the NBA.

We would have been giddy in this position last year.

I spoke to that position in my post.

In the past, there's no doubt about it... Larry Bird is quite possibly one of the most notorious shit talkers in the history of the game.

Bird is like my age, go back further into the '60's.

101 to 63. Go Cavs!
(the ultr-secret plan is working!)

Alright this game is over. Put in the scrubs. Oh wait...

Cavs Announcers: 50 year anniversiry of "Havlicek stole the ball". Lebron passed him in assists this year, and likely will pass him in scoring next year.

So I decided to sit this game out... haven't watched a second. Saw Cavs were outscored 34-9 in the 2nd quarter...what happened that quarter? I expected a 25 point loss given starters sitting, lack of motivation, the fact that some of these guys are a year or two from retirement and have barely played together, lack of a good backup PG, lack of people who can create their own shot w/Kyrie/Lebron out, etc... but good grief.

We have them right where we want them! Time for the comeback!

Right on. First round blowout.

We just set the game of basketball back 50 years

When's the last time a team won by 39 and lost by 39 in the same season?

 

[And1]

Wow..... hell of a second string we have

 

[spydy13]

79? You are very optimistic sir

One point over. That's pretty damn good guessing.
