Comments From The Other Side - Cavaliers, Away

The Celtics actually won 23 games with that lineup?

I've watched the whole Celtics game against the Warriors on replay, they are nice team and playing together. They trying to move the ball before finding the open player, they play with heart, Isaiah Thomas is a very quick player, remind me Ty Lawson. Boston have a great bench (6'th in the league) and they have a good offensive game. They are 3'rd in the league in assists, but they won just 6 games this year against .500+ teams.

Everyone in our starting line is better than everyone in theirs per position. We got this.

Oh god. Delly will never be able to guard Isaiah Thomas...

It's not like we can rotate him to Bradley.. Bradley has been averaging 17.2 PPG and shooting 42% from three for the last five games.

Trap game.

Brad Stevens is a bright young coach. Doing a helluva job with a weak roster. I'm not taking this one for granted at all.

We don't need Love to beat this team, get him rested and healthy for the tough stretch coming up.

Watching Evan turner play the basketballs will be very unpleasant

A little surprised they aren’t starting Thomas. I guess they like him scoring with the 2nd unit?

I think they just prefer Marcus Smart. I would too.

Lots of empty seats. Baseball fever must have taken over.

I like Brad Stevens and this team by the way

Is it just me or is LeBron not really getting good looks?

I was almost hoping Love wouldn’t play tonight so that when they won we could get some piping hot takes about how they are better without him.

Mozgov should be killing Zeller inside

I still miss TZ

Wonder if we can trade Love for Zeller

Man the Celtics suck. How they won as much as they did is beyond me.

They've decimated their roster with trades and yet they are still competitive. They gave the Warriors all they could handle the other night. They play hard under Stevens which is good to see.

I'm going to start turning the channel until Lebron is off the floor. Watching him dribble the whole shot clock and then shoot or drive is something I just can't watch anymore, not after 7 years of it.

Horrible game by the Cavs. LeBron is making his shots but he plays like an asshole again. We're lucky the Celtics suck.

He's being selfish trying to win the MVP

It will not cut it in the playoffs over 4 series....yes we know he can do it but we don't need it tonight

How is Shavlik Randolph still on an NBA roster?

Will Perkins even play? Why is he on the team if he rarely plays? Just to look mean on the bench?!!

Anyone else have league pass? If so switch over to the Celts broadcast for me real quick, please!
1. Brian Scalabrine is an announcer
2. Is the picture quality on their broadcast really really bad? Or is it just my TV?


F***ing Brandon Bass. Hate that guy.

Boston looks awful -- how did they beat Atlanta recently?

Lebron just toying with the Celtics

What we're doing to the Celtics should be illegal

If you are Boston. What scrubs do you put in, when your whole team is scrubs?

Do we have worse players we can put it so it isn't 50+ up?

We could play five random people from the crowd and the Celtics couldn't make up this lead.

Perk on offense, lol. This is why you don't want to see him in the playoffs

They've cut the lead to under 40!

Celtics are so bad we have James Jones cutting to the basket and getting to the line.

Who is the white dude with the beard and ponytail?

Luigi Datome. Italian guy traded from Detroit just before the deadline. He's actually a decent player, idk why he doesn't get more chances. He's had a great Euroleague career and was Italian League MVP. He should play more.

So much for the 'feed Perkins in the post' offense. Back to the drawing board, Blatt.

How the hell did Perk win the championship

3 hall of famers, duh

Perkins is literally like having a defensive lineman play center for you. I notice he likes to hit people, just run down the court and lay a shoulder into someone.

Isaiah Thomas is the equal of Kyrie, perhaps a lil bit better.

we’ll lose this quarter by 20 but beating the Celts by 50 would be glorious

Sounds as though most of those comments came during the first few minutes of the game.

I think there's a lot to this. LeBron was the hero-ball king during his first go-round in Cleveland, then became a very good team ball player (for the most part) in Miami, at least until the finals last year when he reverted to his hero-ball role to try to stop the Spurs' tidal wave of team ball.

At the beginning of this season, he was almost passive and put his hero-ball costume in the closet, but he's brought it back with a vengeance since the all-star game (maybe even before). In the game with Golden State, there were countless times that he ran an isolation play, everyone cleared out, the shot clock ran down, and he bulled his way to the basket or took a jumper.

From my armchair psychologist standpoint, I'm guessing that it's partly because that's the arc he designed for the season -- let the team founder for a while, then ride to the rescue with his supreme individual talent, size, strength, and skill, to stamp his mark on this team. His team.

The other part of my theory is that he's offended with the talk about the MVP race being between Harden and Curry when he thinks should be the MVP any year he plays. I'm guessing that he really wants the MVP and is exerting his individual dominance to get it.

It's interesting that at least some Cleveland fans are seeing the same thing.
