OK Cavs win, but if they play the same way in Boston, no dice.

Celtics aren't going to beat the Cavs in this series period!
Celtics = soft
Where was KG in the 4th again?????
How can people not say anything about this??? The man refuses to show up in the 4th!!! It's beyond C-Webb level. At least Webber would play hot potato in the last minute or so, KG does it for the whole quarter, even in a game like this when he was playing a very nice game.
KG...League of Choke...
Cavs FG 32% vs 39% (great offensive bball
Cavs shots 73 vs 60
Cavs RB 45 - 37
Cavs FT pts 21 - 11 (+10, while winning by 5)
yum yum, some good home cookin
He hasn't changed. Even in his most successful post season with Minnesota "Where's kG?" whenever it mattered.
The closest thing they have to a crunch time guy is Posey
I dont' know why Pierce doesn't step up as their closer.
This home cooking is getting old.
Ray Allen kinda sucks now.
KG is not a fourth quarter guy.
Pierce is several tiers below the Kobe, LeBron, Duncan type superstars.
The Celtics still a great team. But, they don't look very intimidating at all.
I don't care who goes home in this series. KG and the Celtics have had the league handed to them this year. KG didn't deserve Defensive Player of the Year or to be on the All-NBA First Team. Paul Pierce didn't deserve to be an All-Star.
LeBron didn't deserve to be on the All-NBA First Team either. Fake.
I'm glad Detroit took care of Dwight Howard, another supposed "All-Star" who shouldn't have been on the All-Star team. And Hedo was hardly the Most Improved Player. Most Improved Shooter and Most Improved Player are two different things.
Boston takes game 7. Boston VS Detroit Tuesday rested tan and ready.
The Lakers are disproving the Homecourt will win all the time.
It is all mental.
These teams are going in these homecourts thinking oh we wont win because we're away. That's what messing with the players head.
Kevin frickin Garnett went ape on the Cavs...for 3 quarters...
I mean it's really starting to get funny to watch. He blows a wide open jumper, makes a beyond re ed foul on Verajo, and then blows a WIDE OPEN 3 foot floater at a very critical possession. He hit his first shot in the 4th, but that was early so maybe he still thought it was the 3rd quarter or something.
This guy's choking in the 4th knows no bounds. And THANK GOD I didn't see a single league of clutch commercial today.
As much as I hate watching the Cavs play basketball, watching the celtics is even more frustrating, because they actually have the talent to drop 100+ on teams every game.
GO CAVS!
no more of this after game 7 please.
KG did go 2-for-4 in that fourth quarter and both buckets were huge.
And, to be fair, at the end of these close games, despite all those interviews of teamwork and sharing, Paul Pierce does get a hero complex and wants to win it by himself.
KG isn't clutch at the end of games. But, give the guy credit. He's the only player on the Celtics that even brought it last night, albeit for only the first 40 minutes of the game.
Would rather have that than a player who plays ty throughout the game and wants to play hero at the end of the game.
I'd make a new thread, but prefer to just add to this one....
Question: Would Cavs beating Celtics be a bigger upset than Warriors beating Mavs in 2007? I say it would. Only difference is this is the second round. Remember, Cavs wouldn't be in the playoffs if they were in the west. If Cleveland does win, someone should make a thread about this outdoing last year's upset if they so desire....We had this topic when the Hawks played Gang Green....
you make a good point, but KG needs to demand the ball when he realizes his teammates aren't getting it done. Personally though I think Pierce is their best crunch time player and he should have gotten the ball in places where he could be more effective late in the game. The Celtics' offense was just a mess in the 4th.
No, not even close:
1.) Cleveland is the defending conference champion and has advanced in the playoffs three straight years. Unlike Golden State, they have a track record.
2.) Don't put too much stock in Cleveland's record at this point. It was tough for them to build any momentum during the season because of the early holdouts, the injuries, and the roster turnover. Meanwhile Boston was healthy and played the entire regular season at a playoff level of intensity. I don't think there is much of a gap, if any, between Cleveland and Boston, despite the disparity in records. LBJ offsets Piece/Garnett, Allen is nothing more than a jump shooter at this point, the benches are even (if not favoring the Cavs a little)... this is a very evenly matched series, and it's playing out that way.
