Round 2, Game 4 | Cavaliers at Celtics | May 9, 2010 | 3:30 PM EDT ABC

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
And he wears a yankees hat to press conference, cue 2010 talk

LeBron cannot be so oblivious as to not recognize wearing a Yankees cap after such a bad defeat would send the wrong signals. I'm really starting to think this guy gives two shits about this town, and just cares about himself.
 
He was in Boston, just getting ready to go to the Redsox, Yanks game....stop hating yall...:chuckles:
 
LeBron on no Shaq in the 4th..."I was very suprised..."

calls out MB?

I think that was the right move. They made their run with Shaq on the bench. if you put him in at the 5-6 minute mark it's hack-a-Shaq.
 
I am very pissed at our team. They are giving Boston hope that they can win by not playing hard enough on defense. Our offense is there it's just our defense is kind of shitty. Last game Lebron was great but we also had fantastic defense. We need to get our shit together defensively and after we do that our team will beat Boston relatively easy.

I also want to add this. There is no sense of urgency to this team. We were down by I believe 5 points with 3 minutes left and we didn't execute. I really hate to say this but in that situation Kobe would of gotten a great shot for himself and executed. I understand Lenron is a willing passer down the stretch and that's what makes him great but in the late stages of a playoff game, he's got to become possesed and take over.

If only LeBron would put as much effort into these playoffs as he did in building up the New York hype machine. Before the playoffs W&G said LeBron had a Jordanesque focus and intensity heading into this postseason, where the hell has that been? I don't know, maybe he was talking about DeAndre Jordan.
 
On a side note am I the only 1 who is pissed and disappointed all the way up until tip off on Tuesday knowing that I have not a fucking clue what LBJ or Cavs team will show up on Tuesday!

And once again with 12 minutes left to basically end this series we let an inferior team not only hold onto a 2 point lead but extend it on us.....when will we have the urgency to clamp down and dominate this team ..... this series needs to be won in 6......regardless of the score a game 6 win in Boston would do alot for the way I see us as a team right now....JMO

Hell no you're not man. This Jekyll and Hyde shit is driving me crazy. But i am more worried about game 6, we have shown we show up big after a loss, but putting together 2 good games in a row hasn't been something we've been able to do lately.
 
I swear this team needs group family therapy to figure out why we can't seem to put our heads into the most important season in Cavs recent history
 
I just hope that after this game, the players and coaches realize they are beating themselves and that from here on out they need to play every possesion and every game as if it is an elimination game. They really need to have that type of mentality from here on out because Orlando will not take there foot off the gas and if we play them like we have played Boston, we will find ourselves out very quickly.

I also want to add that Shaq's got to be pissed and desearvedly so. He had it going the whole game and he's got to start playing late 4th quarters because he will draw attention away from our shooters and they will get open shots. Our coaching staff better not let that happen again.
 
Is there anywhere to watch the full postgame interviews?

The Cavs site only gives just over a minute each of LEbron and Coach Brown.
 
Tough, hard fought game. Celtics made more plays down the stretch and that's why they were able to pull it out. Cavs got obviously rattled there in the fourth, and those turnovers really sealed the game. Bad shooting night all around, but I was pretty happy with the half court defense. Celtics got too many baskets in transition, and they made all the hustle plays. Cavs got homecourt back by winning the first game, and I still have them pulling this one out in seven.


Oh, and people talk about Perkins being a great defender, but any seven footer can play great defense when they can basically drape their arms over the top of the opposing center when he's turning to take a shot. It's never called, and yet Shaq gets called for pushing off seemingly every game.
 
Yeah, I took LeBron wearing a Yankees cap as f--- you Boston, especially since the Yanks were facing the Sox.
 
I think that was the right move. They made their run with Shaq on the bench. if you put him in at the 5-6 minute mark it's hack-a-Shaq.

Bos made their 12pt lead with Shaq on the bench in the 4th.. if you missed the announcer, I think it was their largest lead of the game... so I'm guessing the team was better off w/ Shaq in!
 
Having Shaq in the game would have helped control the pace a little bit when Boston went on their run. The Cavs looked rattled and they began throwing the ball all over the place. If they had Shaq in there, they would have been able to slow it down and see what he could do. It might not have led to points, but they needed to do something to stem the tide, and they didn't do anything.

This game was lost with that fourth quarter run. If the Cavs hadn't turned the ball over on their first play, and instead made a shot, we may be sitting here looking at a 3-1 lead. Momentum was that important in today's game.

Oh well, no use crying over something that's over and can't be changed. Just have to make sure they get game 5, because if they dont, game 6 is going to be the most hostile crowd this team has ever seen. On to the next one...
