Game 77 | Cavaliers @ Celtics | April 4th, 2010 | 1:00 PM (EST)

[CHIMOCHIS]

/yawn
Celtics get closer to the 3rd seed to face Magic.
Keeping it close against the 2nd best defensive team without 2 of our TOP 6 players.
CAVS started playing only in the 4th quarter
MO didn't play the whole 4th quarter, injured I guess.


Feels good.. can you say great loss for the CAVS?

Oh and BRON BRON got his points

wake me up when the playoffs begin

 

[malus]

Lebron got the Cavs into the game n took them out

you cant tell me the refs didnt have an impact on the outcome of the game
they gave the Celtics at least 2 pts
the play where tony allen held mo comes to mind

The goaltend we got from the Parker three gave us 3 free ones. That ball was flying off the rim, and I didn't see any contact before it did.

Is there anything LeBron can do besides driving to the basket. For fucks sake, your hands must be broken to miss all 9 three pointers and most of the jump shots. I'm not talking about free throws. How long does he think he can play in NBA only driving to the basket ? His body will be teared down in no time and it's mirracle he got no serious injuries.
Cavs is the best three point shooting team, yet Lebron who missed all 7 three pointers must make last shot ? Where's Gibson ? Where's Mo who was 3/3 from three point line ? They would have made at least 2 three pointers when they were most needed. And why the fuck they can't take care of one three point shooter. What the fuck are they gonna do with Magic ? They have much more shooters who can go into shooting spree. That's not how you get into champions

 

[ice cream man]

I also know I saw way too much of this in the first half.

 

[Smooth]

This isn't such a bad thing we lost.. This now keeps Boston within a game of the 3 seed with us just beating Atlanta...

While this may suck right now in the end it's better we lost because it's key to who we play in the 2nd round..

 

[-Akronite-]

All in all we should've won the game, but considering where we were in the 3rd quarter, we should have lost the game. It just sucks coming so close and blowing it.

We still just need 1 win for home court, and Boston had a lot on this game.

EDIT: Oh, and if Boston gets the 3 seed we'll get to curb-stomp ATL again before taking sweet sweet revenge on BOS or ORL. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLLLLLE!!!

 

[Rick Astley]

The PO's can't come any earlier!

 

[DougHeil]

Well that was a pain in the ass to watch... Only thing that eases my mind is that Boston should feel worse about this win than the Cavs feel about this loss(keep in mind we have no Shaq or Varejao).


Terrible decision by Lebron either way. With the way he was getting to the basket throughout the 4th, if he had done the right thing and drove to the hoop, 2 points should have been counted before he even passed the foul line.

Yeah shit; now I feel lousy. If you are only going to try to win a game in the 4th, you better damn well win the damn game. Tossing up threes when you haven't made one all damn game is NOT how you win. geez LeBron.

The very bright side of the game is that the Celtics simply CANNOT feel good about just barely winning. It should be clear to them the Cavs were NOT trying for three quarters and were without SHAQ AND ANDY.

Heck; why didn't the coaches put Mo in if all the Cavs were going to do is shoot 3's?

 

[El_diablo_03]

You guys really shouldn't be that mad about this one.

We play 12 minutes and were down by 17 at the end of the third and came back so easily that I thought it was funny.

Oh, and did I mentionned that we did this on the road without our two best interior defensive players?

Now what worries me is the free throws though.It really needs to be fixed before the second round of the playoffs.

yea, both teams had calls go their way.
i just think the celtics got many more than the cavs

its okay though, this was just a regular season game

 

[Absinthe]

The defense was pretty shitty down the stretch too. Tony Allen was left wide open for a point blank lay up and no one was around Allen for five feet when he shot that three.

The Cavs pretty much have home court wrapped up so this doesn't hurt all that much. Garnett running his mouth will just wake the team up. I hope to God that the Cavs play the Celts in the playoffs.

 

[Imadogg]

Wtf at Lebron... I'm just puzzled. I still hate you Cavs for always being in every game

 

[TJ Detweiler]

We aren't mad at the loss. We are mad specifically at LeBron for that Paris Hilton like shot.

Why would you put in Gibson and change up the unit that got you back in the game? I can't believe some of you are over-reacting to this game.

26/40 from the line. 0/9 from 3 for Lebron. 'nuff said really.

Unreal we were that bad on the FT line. Shaq isn't even playing and we are still worst in the NBA at FT shooting.
