Cavaliers @ Celtics

[bob2the2nd]

blame this loss on... LEBRON JAMES who sat out a game for "being sore" apperantly his period game early and he didnt take any tylenol... congrats lebron you just cost the cavs a game.

one has to question lebrons heart after not playing tonight

So what IS that on Delonte's face??

Smuckers Jelly..

i am speechless, this has to be the most disappointing loss of the year, especially cause it came after such a huge and important win at the bulls. the entire game it felt like the cavs didn't give a damn if they won or not...

 

[Cavaliersfan25]

they just gave that win back to the bulls.

 

[js6684]

it seems like mike brown has no idea how to motivate this team

 

[cavincali]

How the fvck was that not a hand check on Z's defender with our second to last possession? That was pathetic, absolutely pathetic. Damnr effs were the decideing factor in the bullshit game.

That's a rediculous claim. They should have won with or without LeBron.

hmm you think kobe, duncan, wade, dirk, nash, arenas would sit out an entire game off because they're feeling tired? especially at this time of the year when every game is nearly a playoff game already in importance?
for crying out loud, we've had multiple reports this past week of lebron staying out and partying till very late, i'm talking 4am, the night before games! a man's personal life is his personal life, but it's fine only if he can handle it. And when it's affecting his work, it's time for lebron to take some freaking responsibility upon himself, for once

Reports where?

Did you see how banged up he got in the Knick game? They showed it on the Celts broadcast--he was floored twice. Try going thru that and playing yesterday's OT too.

Lots of Cavs fans talk like Bill Walton, always dissing a 22 year old. As if LeBron can put the Cavs on his back and get them to the Finals all by himself.

This loss is on Brown. He only had Z in there for half the game. He was taking it to the hoop in the 1st quarter, so he took him out. It cost us the game. There's no explaining Brown's coaching. His rotations are stupid.

If you were paying attention, Z hit some foul trouble. Plus, it's not like with Z in the game they were doing anything anyways.

This loss was unexceptable. We go out there yesterday and we win a clutch game. Then we come back and lose to one of the worst teams in the NBA who is probaly tanking their season. It must be the coach. Where was Z at?????????

 

[madisonmax]

If you were paying attention, Z hit some foul trouble.

I watched the Boston feed. Heinsohn was too busy talking about the Celts to bring up Zs foul trouble.

Anyway, it's not just today's game. Z didn't play enough yesterday either. Brown's rotations are goofy.

this is the only link i coudl find on short notice: http://www.nypost.com/seven/03302007/gossip/pagesix/morale_booster_pagesix_.htm

but there have been at least 2 other reports from the past 4 days or so that i've been linked to

but you're right about brown though, and many people around the nba know it, brown can be woefully bad at coaching at the simplest things... i dont even want to say he got outcoached by doc rivers of all people, but let's just say tonight wasn't exactly phil jackson vs gregg popovich

 

[NarlCavs]

That last foul call on Varejao was terrible but the Cavs never should have been in the position where it came down to that call.

I expected a loss tonight anyway based on the past inconsistency of this team. LeBron being out can't be an excuse. They usually play well when LeBron is out anyway and plus the Celtics are a much more banged up team right now.

Once again we see Mike Brown's bizarre rotations and use of players.
S. Brown goes from not playing at all lately to being thrown into the starting lineup.
It was good to see Damon Jones rediscovered. I don't like him but he is needed.
Also good to see Hughes looking like his game is coming back somewhat.

Bad loss but typical of what's happened this season. At least the Cavs didn't lose the head to head tie breaker by beating the Bulls yesterday.

 

[js6684]

mike brown just seems incapable of leading/coaching/motivating our team. It is way too late in the season to still be dropping these games.

 

[js6684]

i hope the celtics drop down to pick #5
