Round 1 Game 4 | Cavs @ Celtics | April 26, 2015 | 1:00 PM ET on ABC

[Zubaz Redux]

These refs are responsible for all of this. Letting Olnyk get away with his bush league play, and then the Celtics pushing/shoving/forearming like crazy the entire game, and letting them get away with it. Just ridiculous that any of this happened.

You are right, but I'd take it back even further with these refs. Games 1 and 2 featured a number of excessive fouls deemed "scrappy" by the refs and commentators. It was basically the celts entire game plan... Be "tough" and u might be able to negate some of the obvious talent difference. There were a few "tough" hacks by sullinger in particular that were really bad. That stuff should have been shut down early by the refs and it didn't happen. Today is the result of that.

JR Smith will probably be done for at least 3 games.

 

[flop]

Ok so against Chicago we are looking at

Irving
Bugs Bunny
James
Daffy Duck
Mozgov

 

[CHIMOCHIS]

I swear we can win this game with delly
Mm
Marion
The great white hope
Porkins

 

[Walter White]

Everybody says JR is a bad defender, but you will think he is Gary freakin Payton if we have to play James Jones and Mike Miller all game next series.

 

[czvo]

3 game suspension? No

He's getting more than 1, unfortunately. I know Crowder was being physical, but Smith swung and connected to the face. I doubt he plays in Cleveland in the next round, unless it gets to a game 5.

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

Smith is looking at either one game or a really really big fine, or both.

 

[KLove14]

Stupidity at it's finest by JR....What if he is ejected by the league for game 1 vs the bulls?

Cavs are playing with no energy now, seems like reality has set in with the Love injury. They need a week off mentally just as much physically to deal with this major injury situation.

What? We lost Kevin and J.R. and still are up almost 20.

 

[SteelSmack]

This will count as a game. JR will either get one more or none.

No energy? We just saw JR execute Crowder. Seemed to be lots of energy in that backhand.

The game always ebbs and flows. Both teams are probably gassed from all the physical play. Don't think it is just us. Boston looks done too.

 

[Soar]

Once you get past the raw anger, JR did something really dumb.

Ugh.

 

[Huber.]

JR won't be suspended. It's a "physical" game.

Lol @ people wanting to throw this game.

Who told you that? Do you also have a source?

 

[Jscc]

Jesus Christ JJ, you have ONE job. ONE.

Eh I'm not blaming the refs, this is almost entirely on the Celtics. Boston's been overtly physical all series to try and counter our talent advantage, the games have been bogged down with foul after foul because it's the only shot they had at stealing a game.

It all reached a boiling point when bitch ass Olynyk ripped Love's arm out of the socket on a ball he had no chance at getting, that escalated today from a physical playoff game to something resembling football.
