Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[DJ]

LBJ really has become a turnover machine as of late. Him and harden turn over the ball a lot of super stars.

Turnovers aren't always the guy who is passing fault...

Example: James throws it to another Cavs player, he slips and falls.....it's credited to James even though he didn't fall down.

Not saying this happened tonight, but it's an example.

And turnovers aren't the best way to judge a player. Assist to turnover ratio is.

Let's say he has 7 turnovers, that's normally bad. But, let's say he has 13-14 assists. That's 2-1. Still not ideal, but it's not like he had 7 TO's and just 7-8 assists. 1-1. Which is much worse.

Celts quit moving the ball.

Taking a ton of tough shots with a lot of time on the shot clock

 

[GNG]

His love and loyalty for Dan Gilbert?

This is an ugly game. It doesnt matter in the end GS in 5 in the finals against Cavs or Boston.

Those are shots they usually make at home.

 

[Montalban]

Someone on the Celtics needs to make a shot.

I couldnt disagree more. Boston struggles against the 3pt. Boston 3pt D is bad.

^ This isn't true... not if the word "bad" has any meaning.

Boston's defense is fine. You think the Cavs are great at defending the 3? LOL

Lebron playing Harden ball just isn't gonna work. Better off getting the team involved as much as you can and if they fail they fail.

Are watching? They were like 1-11 with open 3’s. You can only do some much. Reason why it takes a team to win a ship. Amazing they are this far though. It’s crazy

 

[DorianRo]

to be honest if GS wins and Boston wins I wont watch much. Game 1 and after the blow out I will be done. Boston will loose in 5 against GS

I figure the Cavs would be good for one game at home. And maybe make 1-2 more competitive a little. Can't see the Celtics making even one game competitive against the Warriors. They're offense is just too piss poor

I hear you, Im just stating those 2 for super stars feel like they make some bad turnovers. Both great players.

 

[GNG]

Except it won't be good basketball. Cavs defense is so bad you should be able to light them up for 70 in a half. Celtics won't even hit 50 points for the half most likely

GS has to get by Houston first.

 

[DJ]

Anyone gonna watch the finals?? ROFLMAO @ Boston playing the Warriors

Yeah, LOL at a team with a great coach and players who buy into the team concept after they lost their best 2 players to injury.

And in case you didn't know, there's a game 7 in the WCF. The series isn't over.

I kinda of agree. They play bad 3 Pt D and they cant rebound and they are struggling with 1 star player with LBJ. I cant see them guarding Curry, Thompson and Durant. Maybe win 1 game at home . Thats it.

 

[purguy12]

GS has to get by Houston first.

true but with no paul i dont see it happening.

 

[DJ]

Boston matches up a lot better with the Warriors than the Cavs would. I'd welcome a Boston vs. Golden St. matchup.

This.

 

[purguy12]

JR smith is only good at home.

 

[DJ]

true but with no paul i dont see it happening.

Betting exchange wager?

 

[Heatles84]

Celtics to have to hit these open 3's.
