GeneraLee Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Celtics too much for the Cavs. It has turned into ISO basketball in Cleveland with one guy. Boston does a fantastic job getting everyone involved and touching the basketball. I've watched a lot of possessions lately for Cleveland that has resulted in 8 guys standing and watching a 1-on-1 down to the end of the shot clock. Just not good basketball. IMO Lue isn't as good as what some may believe. After 1Q of play last night, LeBron was on pace to shoot 50+ times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't argue with the results and his greatness, but there is a cap to it. One correction though. Lue is not the coach. LeBron is the Coach. Lue is the scapegoat when things don't go well. The first quarter LeBron was in attack mode, but he was also making some junk shots and it wasn't going to last. 21 points in the first quarter, 21 points the three quarters after because he started falling in love with shooting jumpers and fadeaways. 8-13 from the field (4 three point FGs) in the first quarter. K-Love was good last night going for 22 and 15. Ultimately the difference was Boston being able to effectively adjust their defensive game plan and ability for a different player to bring the pain in each quarter.

bugatti Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Also, why will the refs not call a lane violation each time on LeBron? With his newest shooting routine he steps over the line each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOfTroy Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Just like the West Finals, it's about the matchup and the defense. Boston had 42 uncontested shots, Cleveland had 11 uncontested shots. No way you win at this level with those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack The Knife Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Rumor has Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens pleaded for league not to suspend JR Smith for shove on Horford. They want him to be available on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been saying the same thing for a while...absolutely ridiculous that they constantly let that go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
