Round 1 Game 3 | Cavs @ Celtics | April 23, 2015 | 7:00 PM ET

[Triple-S]

There's a Cavs fan in Alberta?

Are you a fan of the Oilers or the Flames?

Lol lebron blocking turner was the play of the game.

 

[Return of the King]

Bulls pulling away. Series is going to be a dogfight if Rose keeps playing this well.

Yeah because Milwaukee is a defensive juggernaut team and MCW is a defensive beast that also is an offensive beast.

Cmon now, not every series translates to the next. Playoffs101

And telling him "he tried" was the statement of the series [emoji123]

I grew up in Cleveland so it's not such a stretch. I'm a casual fan of the Oilers (who have been as bad on the ice and in the FO as the Browns in the last decade) but since they are going to get Connor McJesus, I'll ramp up my fandom for them now.

I'd almost say no series ever translates to the next. As LeBron said tonight; It's not how you win, it's just win.

THIS.

2014 Spurs went 7 games with a mediocre 7-Mavs team
2009 Celtics went 7 games with the 8-Hawks and then 4-Cavs

I agree, non translate. Just win.

Or Love's Dagger 3 Pointer!

 

[Rick Astley]

Or Love's Dagger 3 Pointer!

Double backbreaker 3s you mean. The sights of slouching Celtics fans and players were the tastiest after each shot and they're trying their best to distract Love.

 

[kookoo]

Only game 3 so far not to go into overtime.

 

[Jack Brickman]

"Kevin Love takes a charge from the 260 pound Jared Sullinger."

"He better not eat tomorrow if he's gonna be 260."

I love Inside the NBA.

 

[Andrew]

I know the topic at hand has been discussed feverishly but Kevin Love was my biggest takeaway from tonight's contest.

23 and 9. Shot 50% from the floor, 60% from the three. While the front office formed the big 3, they hand this Love in mind. I will maintain that if he can consistently contribute similar to this, this team is poised for awesomeness.

It's a shame Irving had a quite night because I would have loved nothing more than a dominate big 3 performance on the biggest stage but James and Love would more than suffice.

Gotta give an honorable mention to the glue guys. Smith with 12, Thompson with 13 and Shumpert with 14. Nice distribution from those guys on the offensive end and so nice to see Smith get into some sort of offensive rhythm.

Time to handle business and sweep this squad on Sunday. To be honest, I thought that Chicago-Milwaukee series would have been hard fought but it seems both teams are looking to sweep. I want nothing but blood from this Bulls squad, I want them to bleed and I want them to taste defeat to LeBron again. Sweep this Boston team, even if Chicago sweeps their series the league will not start the 2nd round THAT quick, study and rest up and go at it.




Also, I am undefeated in game threads.

 

[Real Deal]

JR had 15, don't take his 3 points away . Shump had 4 as well lol. You must be looking at +/- hahaha.

 

[Green Lantern]

The Celts tried to physical , every time they made a run, the Cavs would respond.
Some of those non-calls were too blatant , but it didn't kill the Cavs.
