Cavs/Celts Game 3

[Cease]

If I hear one more person asking for Z to get a bulk of minutes (sans an AV injury) or for Jamo at the 3, i'm going to cry. Seriously. Bawl my eyes out.

My best friend asked about Z getting some minutes last night at the Winking Lizard. I punched him in the face.

[British_Pharaoh]

I'm getting absolutely slaughtered tomorrow

then watching game 3


that way I won't give myself a coronary

[tired]

ESPN is reporting LeBron had no flair ups during practice yesterday and the elbow feels fine. Comon LeBron !!! Take this team on your shoulders and win the next 2 games byself !!! The time has come !!!

[Triple-S]

ESPN has been unbearable today, all it's been is about either LBJ's elbow or about how Boston is going to win the series and win tonight

And this is not mean't to sound like "waaaah! espn hates cleveland!" type post, it's more of a "espn sucks at covering sports" sort of post.

/Bill Simmons is excluded from this

[Ziner]

Elbow, JJ, Defense, Rasheed, etc, etc... I know why we lost and it will be taken care of tonight.

I didn't take a shot of jager during the game as I had previously. I got complacent, I got cocky, and then I got brought back down to earth. Don't worry it will be taken care of in about 10 minutes. This game is as good as ours.

[Bill the Butcher]

Solid start, despite the 4 TOs in a row.

[Cease]

Great start.

One lapse on Rondo, otherwise you live with his jumper or Garnett/Pierce 20 footers.

LeBron, bring it!

[aoxo1]

Perkins lowers his shoulder right into LeBron and they think it wasn't a flagrant.

Moses used to do it all the time...

But I thought it was BS by Perkins as well

[Bill the Butcher]

Mo stayed home, and Rondo still put it in. Hm.

no homo

[Bill the Butcher]

Eat it, Cry Baby.

[Cease]

I kind of liking that token pressure full court.

[Ziner]

FTR the Cavs have played much better since my shot of jager... I suggest you all get to the liquor store

[Cease]

We all thank you for doing our work for us.

[Bill the Butcher]

You can tell our team means business right now.

They're staying calm, being patient, and equally aggressive on both ends of the floor.

And that chick in the Heineken commercial is hoooot aaaaas f*****ck.

[waborat]

Impressed with the way they're pushing it on offense tonight...

Elbow looks fine tonight, huh?

Anytime

Elbow looks fine again tonight

Fixed.

[Bill the Butcher]

YAHTZEE.

[Ziner]

Is this the same team? Wow, sure glad to see this. No let downs as we tend to do. Put them away int he 2nd quarter.

[Bill the Butcher]

Dear Mike Brown,

Start that same 5 that ended the 1st. Please.

[FUDU]

Not a bad suggestion by the crew to keep him in longer than usual for the 2nd.

[Cease]

I was daydreaming about a 30 pt. first quarter. Keep the pedal down.

[waborat]

Damn, I kept getting more and more excited with every possession and then the breakaway w/ Moon & Kingie happened...

I now need a towel

[aoxo1]

Dear Mike Brown,

Start that same 5 that ended the 1st. Please.

No.

Shaq did exactly what we need him to do to open the game.

[waborat]

He's got the FU-BOS eyes going tonight

[Ziner]

I now need a towel

I hope you mean to wave around...

[Bill the Butcher]

Dear Mike Brown,

Start that same 5 that ended the 1st. Please.

No.

Shaq did exactly what we need him to do to open the game.

And that was to open a game. When both teams were at 0-0. Shaq set a decent tempo.

Now we're ahead. We're the aggressors (like MB just said). And we gotta keep the pedal down.

[Cease]

That crowd thinks it's the refs.

[Orenthal]

Have to check in. This is the Cavaliers clicking, and the Celtics looking passive like we did the first two games. Now we just have to keep things moving. As Mo misses...

[Ziner]

I dont like bitching about the refs and we have gotten some calls thus far, but how was a foul on Andy? He was standing flat footed and PP bounced off him

[aoxo1]

Dear Mike Brown,

My bad. Thought you meant start them as in game 4/5/6/7 etc.

[Bill the Butcher]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Ziner]

LeElbow is deadly tonight

[FUDU]

If the recipe calls for all LeBron on O and everybody else to just play D, we'll be OK, and I am fine with that.

[Bill the Butcher]

Ohhh, gotcha. I can see how you could get that mixed up. My bad also.

Let Rondo keep shooting. Whatever.

[Orenthal]

While I know why the crowd is getting sarcastic on the calls, that is just too bad we are being very aggressive and that is why we are getting the calls.

Holy crap I just saw Hickson boxing out... We are flowin'

[FUDU]

Need to keep the pressure on, Boston will make a run, just need to withstand it or make the lead big enough where it won't matter.

Andy with a miss he should have made.

[Ziner]

Delonte goes up with that and KG might have 3... Same with JJ. Attack the effin basket, freaking Magic Hickson out there

[aoxo1]

Keep going to JJ as long as Sheed is on him.

[FUDU]

I'll take JJ efforts of putting the ballon the floor.

MB is learning a lot right now.

[Ziner]

Keep going to JJ as long as Sheed is on him.

Sure, as long as he puts away that running hook for the rest of his life.

[Cease]

Exploiting Delonte on Finley. +1 coaching staff.

[aoxo1]

Keep going to JJ as long as Sheed is on him.

Sure, as long as he puts away that running hook for the rest of his life.

Ha. Thought it was going in. Rattled out.

But make Sheed move on defense and he will be useless for the Celtics.

When they have Andy/JJ matched up with KG/Sheed, they have to get those guys the ball moving towards to basket. For KG, to get him to pick up a foul or two. For Sheed, to take him out of the game.

[Bill the Butcher]

Trading baskets. No likey.

[Cease]

Trading baskets. No likey.

I'm just happy that we're matching them and they aren't making a run w/LB on bench.

[Bill the Butcher]

Good point. It certainly could be worse.

[FUDU]

Parker's 3 was an awesome play, a very underrated play that is not seen all that much anymore. The wide open look, fake the extra pass freezing the D while keeping himself square and locked in on the shot.

[bookelly]

Finally we're using our bench depth to exploit matchups. And keeping it calm while Lebron gets a blow.
