Cavs vs Celtics Game 4

[Red Hawk #21]

Rondo and the Celtics are looking really good right now. 24-17 Celtics right now

[Ghazi]

is Rondo the Celtics best player these days?

[Giuseppe]

A. they ain't winnin' three in-a-row.

B. they ain't winnin' a game 7 in Cleveland.

[Giuseppe]

is Rondo the Celtics best player these days?

I told ya's that a year ago, and you all called me everything but a white man.

[Red Hawk #21]

A Leon Powe sighting?

[Ghazi]

Rondo is soo good, shooting withstanding

how the fuck can a guard shoot under 70% from the lien?

[Red Hawk #21]

Celtics are looking great

[Ghazi]

lol @ snaq and lebron getting away with blatant traveling on two consecutive possessions.

[Hank the Tank]

if rondo worked on his damn FTs he'd be hard to stop. 60 some percent is ridiculous.

[The_Dude]

The Celtics might commit the dumbest fouls in all of the NBA.

[TampaDude]

is Rondo the Celtics best player these days?

I've been a fan of Rondo since 2008...IMHO one of the most underrated players in the NBA. He's baller as fuck..and he makes that offense run. No Rondo, no title in 2008.

[Killakobe81]

Rondo should of passed on that last fastbreak ... they may need every point down the stretch and Rondo HAS to make FT's

I HATE PG's that CAN NOT hit FT's which is why Im DONE WITH FARMR (Lakers need a young PG bad)
...Rondo has to step up and make them ...

[TampaDude]

I HATE PG'd that CAN NOT hit FT's which is why Im DONE WITH FRAMART we need a PG bad ...Rondo has to step up and make them ...

Yup...FTs are HUGE in the playoffs. Many a game has been won or lost at the stripe.

[Red Hawk #21]

Espn is so cheesy, but R.I.P Malik Sealy though.

[j.dizzle]

Paging Paul Pierce hahahaha wheres this guy at? He hasnt showed up to one game yet this series...5 pts at halftime? If he even had an avg game then Celtics would be up by 15.

[Killakobe81]

I've been a fan of Rondo since 2008...IMHO one of the most underrated players in the NBA. He's baller as fuck..and he makes that offense run. No Rondo, no title in 2008.

I agree. But Since he does handle the rock sooo much and playoff games are close 60% is unacceptable ...

I think he needs that MORE that a 3pt shot. since you WANT him driving to the lane ...but teams will hack him if he doesnt improve.

[bostonguy]

A. they ain't winnin' three in-a-row.

B. they ain't winnin' a game 7 in Cleveland.

[Red Hawk #21]

Damn, I feel for KG and Malik Sealy's family...

[bostonguy]

If Pierce is unable to get going the 2nd half, Cavs will win and wrap this series up Tuesday. If he does get going, we have a chance to win today.

[jag]

I loved that heart warming story about KG. It makes me remember that under his tough-guy exterior he's really a sensitive and caring guy.

[TampaDude]

I know it's cliche, but it's true...you gotta live each day as if it were your last, because it might very well be.

[j.dizzle]

Agreed, whats wrong with him? Is he injured or something cuz I literally dont eremember him doing anything positive so far in the first four games.

[The_Dude]

If the Cavs (Mike Brown mostly) was smart, they'd go small and run the ball down the Celtics throat. The Celts, outside of Rondo, can't keep up for 24 minutes.

[TampaDude]

+1 The Cavs need to step up the tempo and tire out the older Celtics.

:lol This is Mike Brown we're talking about, just look at him..Hes a goofball, if he was smart he would watch all the regular season Atl vs Celtics games...Atl is a garbage halfcourt team but they swept them cuz they ran.

[jag]

I know it's cliche, but it's true...you gotta live each day as if it were your last, because it might very well be.

I was being sarcastic.

[TampaDude]

I was being sarcastic.

I wasn't.

[Fpoonsie]

Seriously. How is that little "move" of Rondo's not a travel?

[Killakobe81]

Shaq got in the hottuib timemachine ...he is moving well

[bostonguy]

This game just has a Cavs comeback written all over it. Pierce has been awful all series and picked up a dumb 4th foul. Cavs have the momentum.

[Amarelooms]

Rondo is a joke....when teams don't respect your jumper and won't even guard you 15ft out yet you are too scared to shoot means you suck

:elephant

[Killakobe81]

I loved that heart warming story about KG. It makes me remember that under his tough-guy exterior he's really a sensitive and caring guy.

Yes, I prefer Minny KG to Boston KG ....but to be honest I think he became an asss because he knew he was losing a step ...

Minny KG was just focused and intense and could beat you by outworking and outskilling you ...the new version needs to bully weaker foes ...

[bostonguy]

Agreed, whats wrong with him? Is he injured or something cuz I literally dont eremember him doing anything positive so far in the first four games.

I wish I knew. Lebron is locking him down but Pierce isnt a guy you can truly shut down though.

[Killakobe81]

Rondo is a joke....when teams don't respect your jumper and won't even guard you 15ft out yet you are too scared to shoot means you suck

:elephant

He doesnt suck he is just limited ...but that is why he is not as goood as dwill or Cp3 he gets a jumper i move him to 2nd best PG

[Killakobe81]

I wish I knew. Lebron is locking him down but Pierce isnt a guy you can truly shut down though.

Lebron locking him down is bullshit ...Pierce hasnt looked that great all playoffs IMHO

[Killakobe81]

Thing is if pierec is really clutch like Ithinks he is ...he sTILL can win THIS game who cares how he does for 3 quarters if he makes his clutch 18 footers?

[Killakobe81]

Damn Lebron tatooed that shot in to the next row!!!!!!

[The_Dude]

Ray Allen just got his shit stuffed.

[Amarelooms]

lol at Rondo and Allen...not even being guarded....you can't win with limited players like that....just look at Jason Kidd

:elephant

[Killakobe81]

THAT was MORE impressive that the behind ones ...BECAUSE ray thought he could quick toss it, Lebron thought otherwise

[Amarelooms]

THAT was MORE impressive that the behind ones ...BECAUSE ray thought he could quick toss it, Lebron thought otherwise

Why won't a player initiate contact and run through Lebron...refs gotta call the foul...

:elephant

Minny KG was just focused and intense and could beat you by outworking and outskilling you ...the new version needs to bully weaker foes ...

KG has always been a punk bitch. The whole thing about "minny kg" and "Boston kg" is just a myth. He was a punk in minny, and he's a punk now. The only difference is that now he doesn't have the skill so he just looks ridiculous trying to mean mug everyone.

[Killakobe81]

Damn celts in foul trouble

[Amarelooms]

WTF is Ray Allen doing...Celtics are stupid

:elephant

[The_Dude]

Raweed is back to his old, sucky self.

[TampaDude]

Now that was a thing of beauty! LeBron was about to reject Rondo, but he made the dish. Awesome play!

[Amarelooms]

Celtics need to bring in Finley...:elephant

[Killakobe81]

wOW, WHAT A play!!! bEST OF THE PLAYOFFS SO faR GREAT DISH BY rONDO

[Amarelooms]

wOW, WHAT A play!!! bEST OF THE PLAYOFFS SO GREAT DISH BY rONDO

Calm down dummy...how about he hit a 3 or 18ft jumper 1st lol

:elephant

[The_Dude]

LOL it was a good play Killa, but "NOT teh BEST PLAY EVAR!!"

[bostonguy]

Lebron locking him down is bullshit ...Pierce hasnt looked that great all playoffs IMHO

Unless that changes, this won't be a series much longer. As amazing as Rondo is, Pierce is our main guy in the 4th. Sadly I just don't see him getting it going.

[Killakobe81]

Im speaking about 1 play genius!!!

[Killakobe81]

LOL it was a good play Killa, but "NOT teh BEST PLAY EVAR!!"

I said best of playoffs so far ...name one better ...and no breakaway dunk crap ...

[TampaDude]

They did it again!!! :lol

[Killakobe81]

tbh im a Magic fan so plays reminiscent of greatest pg ever make me warm and fuzzy

[TampaDude]

Mark Jackson is often annoying, but sometimes he's funny as hell... :lol

[Amarelooms]

Mark Jackson is often annoying, but sometimes he's funny as hell... :lol

nice comment you big dummy

:elephant

[Killakobe81]

Greant hands by Davis that play along with Rondo play showed great athleticism and grace

[TampaDude]

nice comment you big dummy

:elephant

Thanks, you ringless faggot. :lol

[Amarelooms]

Thanks, you ringless faggot. :lol

you ain't got no rings either dummy....you can't even beat 10th graders I bet

:elephant

[TampaDude]

you ain't got no rings either dummy....you can't even beat 10th graders I bet

:elephant

My team has four rings...yours has zero...faggot! :lmao

[TampaDude]

Y'all get the feeling this series is going 7 games???

[Amarelooms]

oh shit...he made a jumper...nice :elephant

[Killakobe81]

Davis and Allen really bringing some energy to this team ...

Rondo proibably needs a rest ...and Pierce takes a dumb shot

[Amarelooms]

My team has four rings...yours has zero...faggot! :lmao


"your team"....lol...you own the Spurs now....idiot

You are a truly a cunt face douche bag...."tampadude"

:elephant

[TampaDude]

LOL...they just jinxed Braden...you NEVER, EVER talk about a no-hitter or perfect game during the game!!! :lol

[Killakobe81]

I called it rondo is dead tired ...doc is dumb bring in daniels or Nate for 2 mins.

[ChrisRichards]

Unless that changes, this won't be a series much longer. As amazing as Rondo is, Pierce is our main guy in the 4th. Sadly I just don't see him getting it going.
Is he injured? Cold as last years thanksgiving turkey or he's just done?

[ChrisRichards]

I called it rondo is dead tired ...doc is dumb bring in daniels or Nate for 2 mins.
Agree. I understand he's playing safe but dont wear down your starters. Its going to be a long series.

[TampaDude]

"your team"....lol...you own the Spurs now....idiot

You are a truly a cunt face douche bag...."tampadude"

:elephant

Yes...my team...the team I am a fan of. Your feeble attempt at bandying semantics doesn't change the fact that the Mavs suck and have zero rings.

Also, yes, I often have cunt in my face...unlike you, who often have cock in your mouth.

[Killakobe81]

"Lakers will not repeat. Cavaliers are going to win their 1st NBA title this year and Kobe fanbois will all commit mass suicide once Lebron officially and rightfully takes what's his for many years to come"

"Lakers are not even going to advance in the Finals"

LOL the genius in this post is awe inspiring ...LOL

[ChrisRichards]

Y'all get the feeling this series is going 7 games???
Have a feeling it will go to 7. Boston is showing so much passion. Old yes, but they still have a little bit of that championship swagga

[resistanze]

lol KG

[Fpoonsie]

Loved watchin James take KG off the switch to the basket like that.

Fucking KG...slappin the floor...clappin his hands...prolly talkin ALL kindsa shit. God, if we could only mic that guy up every game...

[TampaDude]

Probably too "intense" for TV. :lol

[Killakobe81]

Cavs should and will PROBABLY win this series but, come on! how will they beat the Magic?
...Rondo has been the only reliable and consistent offensive threat for the celts and they are 6 mins away from 2-2 ...

Mo has been shit much of this series ...though he has played better today ... this team does not seem Finals ready if they do win it ...all praises due to Lebron.

[Amarelooms]

lol at the Celtics....maybe make some free throws or a bucket :elephant

[Killakobe81]

Shoulda been an And 1 for Tony Allen ...

Doc screwed Rondo by not giving rondo a blow

[Killakobe81]

he gets a rest he makes that

[Amarelooms]

I have no idea what KG is doing out there....why not run a pick n roll with rondo and KG and then get KG an open 18ft jumper? What kind of shit plays are they running

:elephant

[ChrisRichards]

3 teams (Dallas, Spurs & Denver) who can bring a matchup nightmare to the Lakers are elimintated, the Lakers are lucky I would say. But I dont think the Cavs are done. Its stupid to think so.

[Killakobe81]

Rondo is having a Magic Johnson type game except the FT shooting

[Killakobe81]

3 teams (Dallas, Spurs & Denver) who can bring a matchup nightmare to the Lakers are elimintated, the Lakers are lucky I would say. But I dont think the Cavs are done. Its stupid to think so.

Never said that. I just said I dont think they can beat the Magic.

[resistanze]

lol @ that weak ass call.

[Killakobe81]

Spurs were too old ....
Nuggs too dumb ...
Mavs too soft ...

Only 3 teams that can beat Lakers reside in the East ... Boston, Cavs Magic

Suns Im not sold on but have been impressed with so far ...

[Goran Dragic]

Jamison needing a double team against KG is what free'd Allen up like that. Him being unable to guard KG 1 on 1 in this series is why it might be tied 2-2 after tonight. Cleveland should be worried about him guarding Gasol.

:lmao these refs are terrible

[Amarelooms]

lol at posting up KG...PICK AND ROLL idiots

:elephant

[Killakobe81]

I dont care who wins this series but this is the only (potential) 7 game series we got in this round ...

[Goran Dragic]

Yeah Jamison has killed Cleveland down the stretch bobbling that pass and then giving up an offensive board.

[TampaDude]

Rondo is $$$.

[resistanze]

Why is Mo Williams so fucking garbage?

[Amarelooms]

lol at posting KG again...Celtics getting lucky and these shit plays are gonna cost em in the future games

:elephant

[Killakobe81]

Rondo again ...

[Killakobe81]

Rondo owning with no jumper LOL ...

[TampaDude]

Wow...Braden just pitched a perfect game!

[Goran Dragic]

lol at posting KG again...Celtics getting lucky and these shit plays are gonna cost em in the future games

:elephant


They're not getting lucky at all. KG can get anything he wants with Jamison on him, they should be running their O through him.

[Amarelooms]

They're not getting lucky at all. KG can get anything he wants with Jamison on him, they should be running their O through him.

open your eyes Jamison is not guarding him now...its that chia pet mother fucker...dummy

:elephant

[Chomag]

17 boards from Rando!?! thats freaking amazing

[TampaDude]

I loves me some Rondo! (no homo)

[resistanze]

I'm not sold on the Cavs making it out of the East.

[quickerblade]

Mo williams needs to be traded or released his just pathetic.

[21_Blessings]

Cleveland is the most overrated basketball team the last half century.

[Killakobe81]

Why is Mo Williams so fucking garbage?

Agree. If and when the Cavs fail to win a title this year ... people will realize that it is tough for anyone, even Lebron to win with Mo as your 2nd best player ...

Kobe has Pau
KG has pierce and Allen
Tim has man and Tony

Lebron has mo Lebron wins with Mo you can start the MJ comparisons because MJ had pipp ...

Lebron has the worse #2 threat ...hell even Dwight has VC, Nelson and Lewis

[resistanze]

Agree. I fan d when the Cavs fail to win a title people will realize that it is tough for a anyone even Lebron to win with Mo as your 2nd best player ...

His team doesn't seem like it's built for the playoffs. But history won't care.

[Killakobe81]

I'm not sold on the Cavs making it out of the East.

I have BEEN saying that ALl year even when VC was sucking ass ...

Cavs are deeper this year bu th estarting 5 is still suspect ...

[Amarelooms]

My boy Finley is in...get him the damn ball

:elephant

[21_Blessings]

Lebron vanished today. He's not devoid of blame so stop making excuses for him.

[TampaDude]

Finley sighting... :lol

[Goran Dragic]

Lebron vanished today. He's not devoid of blame so stop making excuses for him.


Since Cleveland lost I'm sure his elbow flared up :lol

[Killakobe81]

Lebron vanished today. He's not devoid of blame so stop making excuses for him.

I am not but fair is fair ...
They have the deepest team in the NBA Game 3 showed that ...
But in a close game thier top 6 is not as good as: Lakers, Celts, Magic or Suns ...

The reason THERY win sOME close game because Lebron is the best all around player right now ...he "vanishes" even for a little while in a tough game ... they have NO chance ...

[The_Dude]

Lebron vanished today. He's not devoid of blame so stop making excuses for him.

Yet he almost had a triple double. You can't expect LeBron to do everything, but for some odd reason people like to place all the blame on LeBron even though he got extremely weak support today. Guys like Mo Williams, Jamison and Parker were absolute no-shows in the 4th quarter. Mo Williams hasn't played one solid half this series, let alone game.

[bostonguy]

It took an epic game by Rondo to squeak out this win. Celts got lucky today. They won't be able to keep pulling this off especially if Pierce continues to play like ass.

[21_Blessings]

7 turnovers, disappearing act in the 4th and 0-5 from 3 for Lebron. He sucked today.

[j.dizzle]

Good god just go look at Rondos statline vs Mo Williams hahaha wow. LOL Pierce scored like 7 points & boston still won...Rondo = new leader of the celtics

[The_Dude]

7 turnovers, disappearing act in the 4th and 0-5 from 3 for Lebron. He sucked today.

LeBron sucking = still the 2nd best performance of the day. :lol

[21_Blessings]

Not really. Tony Allen was 2nd best.

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron has bad games, it happens..I know he's set the standard so high and he is levels above any other player in the NBA, so it's surprising, but he obviously has bad games..accept it and move on..

[21_Blessings]

Lebron has set the standard high by losing in the playoffs annually. Yes sir.

[The_Dude]

Not really. Tony Allen was 2nd best.

No.

[HarlemHeat37]

Seriously though..while everybody is going to say Cleveland is choking and whatever, where's the credit for the Celtics?..they've clearly turned it on in the playoffs when everybody pronounced them dead in the regular season..

Boston is healthy and playing motivated..when they're playing like this, they're obviously the 4th best team in the entire NBA..this isn't Utah or Atlanta, 2 mediocre teams that advanced due to favorable matchups..this is a legit team, probably not a contender, but a legit team nonetheless..

[21_Blessings]

Yes.

[j.dizzle]

LeBron sucking = still the 2nd best performance of the day. :lol
Stats dont tell you the whole story...He was MIA in the 4th quarter IMO..Bad passes, bad shots, etc...Why you passing the ball to Verajao for a 20 foot jumper when you down 4?

[The_Dude]

Stats dont tell you the whole story...He was MIA in the 4th quarter IMO..Bad passes, bad shots, etc...Why you passing the ball to Verajao for a 20 foot jumper when you down 4?

Did anyone on the Cavs show up in the 4th quarter? They all sucked.

[The_Dude]

Lebron has set the standard high by losing in the playoffs annually. Yes sir.

LOL Kobe Bryant years when Shaq left and before Pau Gasol showed up. :lol

[21_Blessings]

LOL Kobe Bryant amidst his 2nd dynasty. :lol

Shaq riding Bron's coat tail to the 2nd round :lmao

[The_Dude]

LOL Kobe Bryant amidst his 2nd dynasty.

Dynasty? He has one trophy without Shaq and you're saying he's amidst "his" second dynasty? Bwahaha. Hahaha. Hahahhhhaha. Ahahahahhahaha.

[j.dizzle]

Did anyone on the Cavs show up in the 4th quarter? They all sucked.
So why did he keep passing the ball to them with 5-7 seconds left on the clock if they werent making their shots?

[The_Dude]

So why did he keep passing the ball to them with 5-7 seconds left on the clock if they werent making their shots?

Because a guy wide open from 15 feet is better than LeBron forcing a shot when he's double or triple teamed? I know you're used to watching Kobe, so the thought of someone passing the ball to an open teammate is foreign, but c'mon man it's pretty obvious.

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

This series is up for grabs while the rest of the playoff series seem to be ending quickly. The winner won't have much gas in the tank to win 2 more series.

[The_Dude]

This series is up for grabs while the rest of the playoff series seem to be ending quickly. The winner won't have much gas in the tank to win 2 more series.

Yeah, because a team has never won the title after having a competitive series in the 2nd round of the Playoffs...

Oh, wait - Boston just did it two years ago after battling Cleveland to 7-games. And LA last year. And pretty much every team ever to win the title.

[j.dizzle]

:lol Theres a reason players like Verajao, Hickson, Jamison are wide open..Sometimes you have to go until selfish mode to get ur team over the hump

[TampaDude]

This series is up for grabs while the rest of the playoff series seem to be ending quickly. The winner won't have much gas in the tank to win 2 more series.

Yeah...if this series goes the distance, the Cavs or Celtics will face a well-rested Magic team in the ECF. In that case, you can book Orlando for the Finals.

[HarlemHeat37]

Orlando had a 7-game series vs. Boston last year, and still managed to beat the Cavs..

I don't think it means that much TBH..rest after a series is overhyped IMO..

[Champs15]

Again, Lebron can't close. He doesn't have that killer instinct like Kobe. Lebron went 7-18 from the field and 0-5 from the 3 pt line. Until Lebron gets that killer instinct like Kobe, I'd still take Kobe over Lebron any day out of the week.

[ChrisRichards]

Spurs were too old ....
Nuggs too dumb ...
Mavs too soft ...

Only 3 teams that can beat Lakers reside in the East ... Boston, Cavs Magic

Suns Im not sold on but have been impressed with so far ...
All about matchups bro. While the Nuggets may be dumb, I always feel they play their best against the Lakers this year, not sure why. Similar to Charlotte versus Cleveland or any other teams that takes advantage of mismatches. Suns will not beat the Lakers. No uptempo team that does'nt play a suffocating and physical defense will beat the Lakers. Thats why Cleveland or Orland if the lakers ever go past the Finals will beat LA in 6 games.


Anyway, I love Rondo's game. People talk about Derrick Rose being up there with CP3 and Deron, but IMO Rondo is the 3rd best PG in the game right now.

How bout Fish and his killer instinct? Would you take Fish and his killer instinct over LeBron and his lack thereof any day twixt now and say the end of June?

tee, hee.

Lebron is the best closer in the game. Did'nt Game 2 taught you anything?

Its a bad game, everyone has one. For every 10 great games by Lebron, 1 is bound to be mediocre by hater standards.

I was just checkin' assholes, Chris.

[LnGrrrR]

I missed this game. hence the lack of commentary... Mother's Day took precedence.

Glad to see my guys in green pulled it off though. I figured Cavs in 6, and the C's already took the 2 games I expected. Anything from here on in is a bonus.

Now, if they do go up against the Magic and lose, I'll be pissed... but only because I dislike the Magic.
