ECF Game 1 | Cavs @ Celtics | 0-0 | May 13, 2018

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
ISO LeBron Ball works if you have 2 high efficiency ISO players


With Kyrie defenses just could never wall up and stop Bron or Kyrie it was just too hard because they’d hit you from different spots sometimes on the same play.


With just LeBron you can really set up a 3 person wall and then close out HARD on shooters and lock us down. If we had a second ballhandler/playmaker this same exact defense Boston is playing would get them swept
 
Can you guys please stop hitting the repeat button on Lue? The players didn't come out to play, they got outhustled in Q1,2 and 4. It's simple as that and Lebron led by example in it. Just like previous 2 series he had a bad game 1. On to the next one.
But that is where the fault lies, when your team is constantly outhustled that's a sign of poor coaching.
 
Osman is literally the only guy not named LeBron that gas any ability to handle the bball. He clearly can find others on the move. We need that on the floor.

And he pushes the pace, and runs the floor hard. Against this young team you need to match their energy, can't do that with our old ass lineup.
 
We shot too many 3s to start the game as well


We are so easy to defend. Nobody but LeBron EVER drives to the rim
 
And he pushes the pace, and runs the floor hard. Against this young team you need to match their energy, can't do that with our old ass lineup.

I’d honestly try starting Cedi in place of Korver. This is a really bad matchup for Korver. He’s just outclassed athletically.
 
And Zizic is fatigued after 3 minutes. This team is such a mystery. I'm certain they don't practice one bit.
 
I actually don't Lue but it's fucking hard to defend him with this love of Clarkson and Hood and TT.

TT is not the same if you gameplan for him: he plays well against Horford you use him against him and then use Nance when Horford is out
Love at C works against C but against the Celts you go Love/Nance and screw them up with size

Fucking needs to sit Clarkson and play Cedi: such a stupid player
Love of TT? TT should of started. this will allow Nance into the rotation and take out one of the horrible guards from the rotation.

Your issue should be Lue's Love of playing Love as a starting center.
 
George Hill has to attack more.

Worrying about Kyle korvers defense is insanity. He’s arguably the 2nd most lethal offensive weapon we have.

Korver, JR, Love hit some shots and George hill attack’s more we should be in better shape.
 
Meh... see everyone for game 2.
 
Props to Stevens too for changing his lineup to match up with our personnel. I think 90% of this board said we should start TT and guess what we did? Started Love at the 5 and watched him get anal raped. Stevens knew Morris was ready and gave him a shot. Lue never does proactive shit like this. All he does is REACT after the fact like in Toronto. TT has a history of shitting on Jonas and we really sat there and watched him eat us alive before starting TT then went right away from TT after we knew the series was probably over. Lue did that so it would look like his gameplan wasn’t retarded
 
I still have the Cavs splitting in Boston but if we have to go into Cleveland down 0-2 ill take that as well.

A lot of basketball to be played in this series.
 
Watching Nance and his body language, it looks like he feels like he is a scrub. When he first got here he played his ass off. Only to find out he has a coach that has no feel for the game. Lue is going to ruin him. Cleveland will lose him if this keeps up.
 
Love of TT? TT should of started. this will allow Nance into the rotation and take out one of the horrible guards from the rotation.

Your issue should be Lue's Love of playing Love as a starting center.

I'm ok with starting TT with Love: he matches up well with Horford. Celts use quickness to get boards and this will help corral of loose boards. I think Love at starting C works well against certain teams; this isn't one of them
