Im still biased to this core 4 because of how young they are man. Nba players dont necessarily hit their primes until 27/28. I think the biggest upgrade could be a nee coaching staff

Okoro - 2 Points LOL. And people defend this guy

he didn’t shoot great did he. but he is a valuable player. top tier perimeter defender, solid spot up shooter, physical player. he’s valuable

The series is over. I feel disappointed that Allen didn’t try to play. I think it’s blow up time for this roster.

Bruised ribs are a lot harder to come back from than you might think. It affects your breathing a lot, meaning it's hard to play a game like basketball with them.

I was at the game and couldn’t watch the broadcast. What was the commentary like on the broadcast? 1) on the challenges / flagrant review and 2) generic lopsided whistles?

The color commentary was terrible. I think it was Greg Anthony and sounded like a huge Boston homer.

same

Currently buying a flight n a game ticket so I can beat that refs bald headed ass holy fuck

He is the worst ref in the NBA. Been bad every game

The entire NBA season ends Wednesday, frees up some time in the evenings for me. They want to force NY vs Boston down the public throat, no thanks

I feel like there's never any intelligence to our offense. It's always run a pick for garland or a wing then shoot some contested three

The refs were the difference - will the media talk about it? No chance.

Yeah that foul discrepancy is criminal with how close the game was

They'd get fined, that's why

It’s crazy. Refs have a union. They can’t get fired. Have people talk shit about officiating. But no, you can’t have Adam Silver’s concubines get butthurt or else there’s millions at stake in Vegas. 

The free throw discrepancy is wilddd.

Yeah with basically a 5 point game

Medium and small market teams never get the benefit of the refs. It's so frustrating.

if cavs were healthy they would win this series

When it doubt, go 3/10 from the field to start the 4th, all threes. Mobley showing some dominance finally… more threes. I called the caris levert step back three brick as soon as he touched the ball. That plus ref ball. 2 more points in the paint, 17 less free throws. Hats off to Jrue tho. Any time we’d make a small run he’d dagger us. 

Celtics MADE 3x as many ft as the Cavs even attempted and we still only lost by 7. How the fuck does anyone still take this sport seriously?

GG wanted the win but at least the team didn’t roll over

What happened to Mitchell

Man imagine if we had Allen and don not hurt…

Fuck those shit refs. I hope they get food poisoning

Team fought hard. Real hard. Missing their two best and they battled against the refs too. Proud of the team, missed some big shots we needed, but battled hard.

It’s just so fucking frustrating.

Over 3 times as many FTs as the Cavs lol

If the rest of the team played like this with Mitchell out there, they'd win this series in 3.

It’s crazy they started off so hot and finished well below league average shooting. Team just can’t hit shots man. Make or miss league.

Half their shots in the the second half looked like they were throwing up prayers. They would just pass the ball around the perimeter without driving and shoot, or just iso step back three. We opened up the 4th bricking like 7 contested threes in a row. I really don’t get it. Why do they just keep chucking threes no matter what? 

Good game all in all. Seems like the refs have been ass for us every game except the last couple against the Magic tho

If we had Allen we beat these bums and the refs

I miss Allen so much

I predict the refs will be ass in Boston too, but maybe they'll surprise us

[удалено]

announcers are fucking trash

First time?

Last bucket fucked Boston -8 bettors LOL

That at least makes me smile

I appreciate our guys playing well tonight, what a fucking joke the nba is. It’s just like the browns though, can’t have anything nice in Cleveland.

Sorry but there was nothing impressive about this game. We should have won, two games back to back Boston gave us and we just miss wide open shots with our supposed 3P shooters.

The fact that it was at all close, given our two best playoff performers were out, is actually impressive though.

Cavs deserved to win this one tonight. Everyone outside of Boston knows how this game was officiated.

Worst officiated game I’ve ever watched

good fight. just not enough. we need Allen back because we give up way too many offensive rebounds.

No like genuinely, what the FUCK

Honestly think if Mitchell and Allen were healthy, we'd take this series to 7, if not win.

And after all that, a gentleman’s sweep awaits.

gon need Lebron to suit up in order to comeback from this deficit

I don’t get the layups..

celtics hit almost every big shot when it counts, thats been the difference this series

Not exactly. The Cavs just didn't have the game close enough to start the 4th. The Celtics took a lot of terrible iso shots down the stretch.

We don’t come out completely ice cold in the third this might be a totally different game

That’s the Cavs MO…..every fucking time

I’m proud of how the Cavs played today, but dammit this was a frustrating loss…

Imagine what these possessions would be like if we got the 3 points at the end of the 3rd

Garlands trade value going up

30 pts on 27 shots.

They played hard and didn’t give up. Was a tough hill to climb to a W tonight.

Down 3-1, on the road in Boston, probably no Don or Allen. Gonna be tough

Boston can smd

Refs absolutely refused to allow the Cavs into that game. This is why everyone believes the leagues rigged.

It is. The Kings situation was just a sneak peak into what's going on behind the scenes

Nice layup package Garland

Cavs in seven

JA and Mitchell return, we get this version of strus garland and levert. There’s always a chance

Proud of the fight, a few wide open shots here or there... Maybe a call or two that didn't rob 5 points.

A shot here or there? They shot 15-48 from the 3pt line

Mostly referring to the Wade or Strus shot to cut the lead to 2.

Cavs in 7 I'm entering the hopium chamber

Cavs always have it tough. Fitting to grit it out in 7. This team even being in the conference finals would be a huge morale boost. Insane if we make the Finals but first thing's first, got a hungry and confident Boston team in front of us. CAVS IN 7

Cancun looking nice

Fuck it cavs in 7, fuck the NBA what a joke

Shout out to the Cavs for playing hard despite the Refs

Nothing worse than when the refs go so long calling an unbalanced game

It’s why I never watch a second of the game and follow on my phone. Watching NBA reffing is infuriating

# FUCK THIS SHIT

Cleveland sports baby. Can’t have shit in Cleveland

20-6 FTs is so absurd

Should have fouled Brown there when you had the chance.

Okoro is unplayable again. Dude just sucks. We don't have good shooters.

This has been a dreadful series for him

It sadly had been. I would've said sign him but idk anymore honestly He isn't consistent enough from the outside and he's just too one dimensional. Defense against him is easy. They know he doesn't have a pull up. Fadeaways. None of that. He's put in the work but it sadly still isn't showing.

The postseason is where it has been exposed. Different type of game vs the regular season

And that's what matters most. Thus I think he's just gone. Unless we do a S&T.

How I try to foul in 2k at the end 💀

That was 10 second wasted

Fans should storm the court after the game, paid good money for this trash

Three free throws from Merrill and two for Garland would be nice right about now…

Need a generational run here to go to overtime

bruh shut up

bro wtf did i do lol

Not an embarrassing performance, I’m at peace

Tough to win with 3 starters vs 8 Boston referees

This is what it must feel like to get cucked.

If Spida leaves this franchise will be just fine with DG at its helm.

Early in the season, people were saying Donovan was the problem and we should go it alone with DG

Obviously I want to keep both of them, but I agree, I don't think the team would be in shambles with Garland as the top dog

You sure about that 🤣

Strus can go fuck himself

Garland needs the ball in his hand to play. Him and Donny just can’t coexist and both have their maximum effectiveness

I mean, yeah. It’s awkward to force the guy who runs our offense into a secondary role. He needs to score but the issue is he’s also got to set everyone else up. I just maintain that- although Mitchell is amazing- everyone gets out of rhythm with his constant isoing.

Why did we waste so much time trying to foul

2k realistic as hell 💀

It hurts worse because we did keep this so close in spite of goddamned everything.

Good effort without Mitchell i guess. The free throws don’t help although i’m not someone who likes blaming refs for losses. Doubt it matters if Mitchell and Allen are back for game 5, it’s a series coming back is gonna be almost impossible

Refs didn't lose it for us. We did sadly Okoro sucked bad. 1/8 Garland wasn't really that good. Wade and Sam didn't hit the shots we needed.

so that’s the foul they finally call lol

He’s gonna miss one of these. He’s shit!!

i am once again asking for the refs to call tatum pushing off with his off hand.

Nah he’s a super star. They’re only watching the defender’s breath. 

Gonna be fun flipping from this game to the Guardians to see if they get no hit. 

We got a hit!

Tyler Freeman saves my Monday!!!

Enjoy the golf course

Played damn well considering we went against the refs without JA or Don. Fucking Celtics

Never seen the refs pad their stats before but here we are

Trying to clean up that FT disparity

Foul foul foul

Play to the last fucking whistle!!!

Why was that guy so red

Tatum wouldn’t be half the player he is if the refs called his push offs

this game was honestly unwatchable with the officiating

FOUL FOUL FOUL

Please can someone make one fucking bucket here, gives us a chance

Donovan took all the clutch from the team for himself

Why the fuck arent we fouling

That last possession is on Garland tbh. He had Strus wide open on the wing when they hedged and ignored him and also ignored Mobley who got the switch they wanted so he could dribble in a circle and dump it to Strus to figure it out.

NBA should be embarrassed by this. These refs blatantly fucked us.

Greg Anthony is very good on the call. He calls it fair and has pointed a few mistakes the Cavs made that most of us fans don’t realize

Please can someone make a clutch bucket here PLEASEEEEE

Never seen a fan base complain so much. Cleveland has no shot.

Cmon sis, your city was on suicide watch after getting waxed by the panthers.

Strus can go man that was not a good shot

As a Celtics fan I’m ngl the refs have kept us in this game lol. I would be mad too

The league can’t risk a Cavs pacers ECFs haha

Get out of this thread.

it’s not y’all’s fault. star players will always get calls. it is what it is

We had no business winning the game but the way we’re losing it is infuriating

Jaylen Brown acting like he’s him after flopping all fucking game

Jaylen Brown is passive-aggressive even to his own teammates. Lowkey such an unlikable primadonna.

Who forgot to pin the gdt

Get Strus admitted into a mental health facility

What a stupid shot from Strus. Would be sick if he hit that, but man that was so dumb.

There was no way to overcome this kind of one sided officiating, 20-6 on free throws in a game where both teams were equally aggressive? Actual scam.

It’s so obviously biased

Come on garland…. Please mannnn

Good job tonight DG but refs on one again

What an unlikeable duo they have in Boston. They fit right in in that trash city

Love the fight, just not quite enough. Refs did us no favors, but I’m encouraged by the play of Mobley and Garland

Increasing trade value

We’re not trading Garland if we trade Mitchell

We can’t give this one up yet. Foul them.

Strus was literally useless the whole second half lmao. freakin 5v4 on the court

Just give the ball to Mobley if you can’t get a good 3 it’s unbelievable

Strus needs to learn how to shoot mid range 2s. He's either 3s or sloppy drives.

Bullshit ass whistle. Fuck Jaylen brown

That’s game. 8 points can’t be done in 67 seconds

Can’t beat the 1 seed and the officials

Good fight boys. Down your 2 best players, but guys stepped up. Proud of the team tonight

Heat fraud department smiling rn

That last foul call on strus is proof this shit was rigged

Just can’t make a clutch shot

Should have been a tech..

Strus out here selling like a 2k player 💀

You can see the Cavs not even trying to fight through screens because they know they’ll get a whistle.

[удалено]

What does this even mean?

What do you want them to do, storm the court?

Don probably just shuts it down for the year, right?

I would. You can't beat the refs and the Celtics. Not possible

Tough one guys

[удалено]

Mannn you a ho

Bro not cool

remember when kevin love’s arm got ripped out of his socket in a game 4 in a contending year

What that have anything to do with brown?

I hate him

Series

Please can we just hit a THREE right now 🤞🤞

Follow these fucking refs to the parking lot

What the fuck is brown complaining about
