Don't think Irving's play tonight is anything to be concerned about. He was just never really needed to contribute anything. Thats how good Lebron was and how well Love did offensively.

I think its more about his activity on defense. It wasn't there.

When Love struggles he at least stays active on defense, even if not good. Kyrie just fell asleep over and over again on that end tonight.

 

[Jordan]

Didn't check stats or something but I think that they rebounded the best when they played their really small ball lineup because all of their guards worked hard to box out so we need to get ready for that again, also we need to get ready for Green and Brown getting more burn...

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Jaylen Brown starts in place of Amir Johnson. Stevens would just move Crowder over to the four.

Kyrie got upset at himself and LeBron had to calm him down.

 

[KIisKing]

Agreed. His shot is still not there, but again, everyones shot was rusty besides Kev and Bron.

Still moved the ball well. Just didn't really have to score and LeBron had the mis-match all night while Kyrie had Bradley on him.

Yup. Him being solely a threat opened up the offense for Lebron, Love, etc.

Really not sure how he gets his three point shot going though. We need him to find it against GS.

Windy deleted his tweet about thinking the Cavs lose smh

He really tweeted that? Did anyone get a screen shot? What exactly did he say?

 

[Walter White]

Celtics are just ready for the draft already. Good warm up though to work the kinks out. The refs will have to try harder next game. Only thing killing us was long rebounds. Good chance for Kyrie to get it going. And get Korver and JR's shots falling. And work our bench in more if we can.

If we crush them next game, they will be demoralized and we will really roll them at home.

If I'm Boston id shop the 2018 pick and Smart and see what that can get. If that + Bradley gets me George or Butler, do it immediately.

 

[Meny]

I agree, but if it happens Love needs to live in the paint

 

[The Oi]

Fuck Bill Simmons.

I mean that should definitely get it done, value wise. There’s no way the Pacers or Bulls can get a better package than that.

I think I am wrong. I don't believe he tweeted it but he did say it on radio or tv.

He look like he got his own plane lolololololol

 

[cavsfever]

Fuck Bill Simmons.

I love checking out Simmons twitter when the Cavs are playing the Celtics, because that's exactly what's happening.

Also if one of those teams is in love with Ball then it would screw LA so hard. However I think Fultz would be the pick for the Bulls and Fultz or maybe Jackson for the Pacers.
