Round 2, Game 5 | Cavaliers vs. Celtics | Tuesday, May 11 | 8:00 ET

[Silent Nature]

Cleveland won or tied 6 out of 8 quarters in Boston, but Boston is doing the exactly the same thing in Cleveland by winning 9 out of 12 quarters.

This is like the opposite of the series in 2008-2009. The home team dominated in that series, but this series, the road team is dominating so far.

It's very weird.

I'm not going to smash the panic button because the series is not over yet. When it's over, it's over. I'll have to root for them just as hard in Game 6 to take the game in Boston, but this trend is quite consistent in every game so this may be something that fires up the road team this time around.

Let's hope for the best on Thursday. It's going to be a long wait for sure. Come on, Cleveland. Keep on fighting.

Let's not forget. The Magic was in this same situation last year to Boston, falling to 2-3 before coming out as the victors.

I've always said "never trust a wizard in the postseason"

 

[The Oi]

I can't WAIT to hear what LeBron says during the press conference tonight should he choose to show up for it.

If he says anything other than, "I gave up on my team," then he is a liar.

This series will have completely dismantled this franchise and that's so very disappointing.

I'm not posting this as it's own thread but this whole thing is like a cruel joke. The coming steps in order:

(1) Cavs lose the series in 6
(2) LeBron's effort, mindset, will to win is questioned all off-season
(3) LeBron signs with Miami, New York, New Jersey, whomever
(4) Mike Brown gets fired
(5) LeBron wins a championship during his first year in a city to be named later
(6) Mike Brown brings the Chicago Bulls to their third consecutive playoff appearance
(7) Cavs fall back into oblivion
(8) Now I'm done.

Why are their asshole Boston and prick New York fan here suddenly.

Honestly, fuck off.

 

[camakazee]

list of cavs that care right now

mo, shaq, mike brown

it would be great if someone else showed up

Mo may show emotion but if he truly cared he would've committed to the defensive end tonight. Whoever was on him had a field day, openly attacking him. I imagine girls who just had a train ran on them have less shame than Mo Williams should have tonight.

Even if Bron stays he has to earn my respect back with a ship after this

 

[Taiter]

After 30 years I think I'm about ready to call it a day w/pro sports...

 

[DDJ7777]

Hey TNT, please say SOMBER again. Seriously. You haven't said it 27 times or anything.

 

[SteelSmack]

LeBron will never win a championship as the best player on his team, which is crazy, cause he's the best player in the league and he just mails it in when there's a little opposition.

 

[Absinthe]

If LeBron wants to win a championship, he has 2 options:

1) Go to Miami to play with Wade, a real leader, because a LeBron-lead team will never win a championship.

2) Go to OSU to play football.

He'll never go to Miami because he wants to be the top dog. He'd much rather go to New York where he'll be the man. Besides, a Lebron/Wade team would be an utter disaster. Wade and Lebron wouldn't do anything but party and be hungover at games.

 

[winner0274]

But that's such a copout. To stop supporting a team and a player while the series is still ongoing because of a championship drought is pathetic. If another team's fans did it then we'd have a 12 page thread in Cavstalk mocking the fuck out of them. RCF is likely to end up on every NBA forum tonight because of the sewage spewed in this thread.

WHAT?! WHEN DID WE STOP SUPPORTING THE TEAM???? CLEVELAND FANS HAVE CONTINUED TO SUPPORT OUR SHITTY TEAMS YEAR AFTER YEAR. AFTER ALL THE HOPE THIS CITY PUT INTO LEBRON TO BRING US A CHAMPIONSHIP, HE GOES OUT AND PUTS ON THIS GOD AWFUL PERFORMANCE IN ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT GAMES IN CLEVELAND SPORTS HISTORY???? THIS CITY DOESN'T DESERVE THIS SHIT.

 

[kidduck]

Very, very few reasons to think this series returns to Cleveland for a Game 7.

 

[Walter White]

LeBron, I hope this game BURNS YOUR SOULLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't forget this game LeBron. WTF happened to you LeBron. I am speechless. He usually raises his level of play in the playoffs, not lowers it DRAMATICALLY.

 

[Khailin]

Lebron wanted to smile so bad rite there.WOW I want to punch that fucker

It's an abortion procedure out there right now. With a rusty hangar.
