Cavs vs. Boston -- 2017 Eastern Conference Finals

[Green Lantern]

This is why I hate the Celtics, they can't take a beat down like a man and resort to dirty shit, doing unnatural stuff and "scrappy play" (lol).

from Olynyk/Smart/Croweder to IT and the rest of their bums, they just can't accept that a team is much better than them, so they just gotta do this shit for whatever reason, This is why I wanted to play the Wizards. All we need to do is finish this series healthy against these dirty scrubs.

On many plays I saw them grabbing arms, and trying to pull players down..it's their mentality and it's disturbing to me.

It's because as I said yesterday , when reality sets in, they're no match.

Washington would've put up a better fight.

But they didn't fight Boston when they had the chance..and they had opportunities.

Any stories related to last night's game conspicuously absent from The Ringer thus far. Huh. Ain't that something?

Does this snippet bug anyone?

If there's a silver lining for the Celtics, it's that they were able to get open looks rather easily against the Cavs. To that point, Boston attempted more uncontested shots (46) than contested ones (42) in the loss, according to NBA.com's player tracking data. However, the Celtics converted just 45.7 percent of their open looks.

There were two things I was sure the Cavs would do better than Boston in this series: 1) Shoot the 3 ball, and 2) Hit the glass

We just dominated a game where Boston came out ahead in both of those categories.

I believe we only shot about 47% on uncontested shots

Funny, but Tom Ley can go fuck himself. He is always going out of his way to troll the Lebron and Cleveland. He doesn't get to join the bandwagon when things are going well. 100% fuck Tom Ley.

Well, he writes for Deadspin. Being a self-loathing asshole is a requirement to work there.

The only real surprise from last night is that the Celtics didn't overtly try to injure anyone, although Marcus Smart was pushing the envelope. Boston has always been a dirty team and when they get cornered, the worst comes out....

Fucking hate this midget. Waiting when finally someone KO him on the court.

Great win by the Cavs. Lets now win game 2 and burn them at the Q.

I'd like to see him catch a hard elbow to the face.

Honestly, I think that's the plan. Leave guys open and make role players make shots. Cavs were obviously okay with leaving Crowder and Brown open from three and challenging them to make shots. Which they did. But they are not good enough to punish the Cavs.

If smart, brown, and crowder are taking shots that means Horford, Thomas, and Bradley are not taking those shots which is what the cavs want.

These numbers are also skewed because of the trash time mini comeback they had.

I thought I saw Kelly olynck try to armbar Thompson on that no good dunk attempt by Smart. That ugly chick at least pulled Tris' arm.

One can only imagine the amount of N bombs that were dropped
