W Cleveland 113 Boston 109 2OT
- Thread starter cdt
- Start date
Interesting, Boston announcers interview Donyell post game...
Anyways, good to see the Cavs pull this one out. It was looking like a blowout early, but the Celtics always manage to give us a run. The Cavs had several chances to seal the game before the end of that 2nd OT, but free throw shooting just want going today, and our designated foul shooter just wasn't having a good night. Way to end things before the all-star break though.

Re: Cleveland @ Boston
He might not be clutch, but with Z out, there really isn't a better free throw shooter available at the time. No, he didn't make both, but he made 1 at least, which is better than blanking. I don't know if Damon Jones has hit 2 consecutive free throws this season, Snow is the inbounder (not the best shooter anyway), Marshall and Gooden weren't better options, you pretty much have to give that one to Lebron.
To Lebron's credit, hes been hitting some huge shots down the stretch as of late. No, none of these are "game winning" shots technically, but without them, the Cavs would not have won those games.

That game pissed me off more than a Cavs game has in a long time.The game would have been over in regulation if not for a terrible foul call on LeBron. The refs once again put the Celtics in the 2nd OT with a bad call. It seemed if a Cav looked at Pierce the wrong way the whistle blew.
The game never should have gotten to where it ended up. Cavs should have put it away much earlier. They have to, and Mike Brown has to get them to, stop sleepwalking through long stretches of games. The offense came to a standstill in the 3rd quarter with no movement at all. Too many possessions ended with a desperation shot as the shot clock went off. Please Ferry, get a competent PG before next season.
Z should have dominated but didn't do much until the 2nd half. Celtics were swarming him and his teammates didn't help much by standing and watching.
I don't know how Snow could have missed at least 4 layups. Snow is a nice guy and a hard worker but he can't be the starter at PG next season if this team wants to go places.
Missed FT's are continuing to kill this team.
Nice that the Cavs pulled out a hard fought win but they need to put teams away much earlier when the opening is there.

Wheeeeew! OMG what a crazy game. For those that kept the faith, props to you. If they could hit free throws, it wouldve been over much earlier. Amazing LBJ stayed in the game, while still on Pierce for much of the time. Then Pierce fouls out, he didnt know. Paul Pierce is a STUD, wow he was awesome. It would have been a SHAME to lose this game. Cavs found a way.
Happy All-Star break to all Real fans of RCF. Dont forget to check out LeBron in the skills challenge and the big game on Sunday. Good night Cavaliers faithful.

I can't believe Z missed those 2 FTs at the end, I was expecting him to seal the game right there. His hand must still hurt from the dislocated finger.
He has been flirting with this FT% record for 7+footers, but now his FT% is down to 84.5%. Anyone know the record offhand? He has to be close to falling out of contention for it, if not already.
