Celts are like 1/16 from 3 and they are still trying to shoot. Getting killed on the boards as well. Pathetic performance from everyone. I hope game 2 is going to be better. They have lost this one. |

SIRcumalot:There is no where comeback no fit happen my gee. Kawhi has played where they lost and missed games where they've won. The lead was more than healthy enough to hold on sans Kawhi. I'm actually pained by Kawhi's injury because I wanted to see how the Warriors respond to adversity this year. Abeg that your guy just loves the attention. Anyway he has redeemed himself so it doesn't matter no more 1 Like |

We approached this game with the wrong mentality, and with tired legs/ minds, uneven talent, a blow out becomes inevitable. Guarding Lebum is no easy task, and you can see he is eating every match up like barbecue chicken marinated in hot sauce. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 2:43am On May 18, 2017 |
No need to even start this match na to wait for game 2. |

Cavs in 4. 5 if they decide to take it easy and not over work themselves, funny that Celtics actually think they have a chance. loool |

This is like the most useless playoffs run i have ever seen in my life, from both conferences. My gawd |

That awkward moment the NBA fans are praying for competition and the Celtics brought Lube for rape and the Spurs unfortunately lost two key players. And the Cavs fans are so happy for another sweep to add to their Kings resume.. The league is bleeped up Mhen. We need to listen to Doc Rivers. Both Eastern and Western teams should be reshuffled. I don't know how but playoffs has been boring especially from the east in the last 2 years and the West thanks to Warriors. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:23am On May 18, 2017 |
Donlittle:It's disgusting man. I quit Game 2 yesterday after 1st Quarter. What's most annoying are some underage fans being happy about the lack of competition. I won't even bother until if the Celtics/Spurs are up by 1 game. Or until the finals. Can't watch this shit. The Celtics even brought Lube for the rape 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:26am On May 18, 2017 |
SmooshCHN:It's actually pretty disgusting, from both conferences, amazed at the western conference too, no competition. one team is getting 10 days or na 11 days off and the other team blowing out the second best team or is it the third best team in the nba. Something needs to be done, if not nba go lose fans, especially during regular seasons. There is a lot of people out there not interested in the playoffs till the Nba finals. |

Roland17:If we go lose let's kuku lose 5-1 and regroup for the next game like we did vs the Caps from Game 6 to 7. I told you I had my fears for this series. The Senators are a really weird team. Maybe even more physical than the Caps. In one game they took out Schultz and Rust and tried to take out Crosby. Don't forget Hornqvist is also still out. Me I just dey wait for Game 4. A win and everything odinma |

birdman:Shame on the Wizards for not beating the Celtics and giving us a shot at a competitive series. You guys just don't get how terrible a matchup the Celts are for the Cavs. At least with the Spurs vs Warriors a 4 day break and healthy Kawhi still leaves hope. Like Charles Barkley I'm watching NHL instead of some of these games |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:11am On May 18, 2017 |
A40: People are not giving enough credit to the cavs defense in the first half - I dont care who they play like that, they wer going to open up a double digit lead. some ppl are saying celtics are a btter matchup, others are saying wizards. I also think wizards are better, because all the bullying and physical plays celtics like to instigate dont do much against a big cavs team. But one thing is that celtics will punch you in the mouth, guaranteed, which is why they may be better for the cavs. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:16am On May 18, 2017 |
SmooshCHN: Ultimately, other teams have to bear the blame - Spurs, warriors, cavs, celtics - these guys are dominating as the last 4 because of good front office decisions and team culture. I dont think reshuffling is going to matter here. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:34am On May 18, 2017 |
birdman:That's the thing the Cavs didn't even shoot well either. For a significantly less rusty team the Celts shot the ball terribly. I saw the game in spurts but Isaiah looked real tentative. Shy to take it to the hoop with Tristan in the paint (not like I blame him) but you have to feel the size factor hurts the Celtics badly here. Plus they have nobody who can do a passable job guarding Lebron. Absolutely nobody. We would see what happens Game 2. Maybe the shots fall and we have a closer game. But of all Lebron's trips to the Finals, these Celtics stand out for me as the most ill-equipped |

Eruditor:Lol loo lool, TLue is a genius too jare. Or is it just LeBron playing at a surreal level? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:56am On May 18, 2017 |
I don't think i wanna blame anyone for this loss. Cavs playing this way would have raped any other team apart from. Spurs and Warriors. I believe Celts decided to go easy on Love cos of his poor shooting but he surprised them this game with his hot shooting , drawing an extra man on him and sometimes leaving James with just Crowder. Lets hope game 2 stretches this series |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 7:58am On May 18, 2017 |
I only predicted Celtics will struggle in the playoffs because Isiah struggles with offense in the post-season. that has not happened. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 11:42am On May 18, 2017 |
I am just seeing that LBJ played 42mins to get 38pts. Naah, the dude is playing for his stats. He had no business playing for that long in a blow out game except that. I hope his fans don't use fatigue as an excuse later when things go south for him. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 1:26pm On May 18, 2017 |
Eruditor: Lue tries Lebron in different rotations, especially towards the end of the game. All playoffs, they have used garbage time to put Lebron and D will on the floor at the same time - these guys are focused on continually getting better. And it would have been a bad idea to sit Lebron out for too long. the Celtics made two really strong comeback rallies and cut that game to single digits. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:32pm On May 18, 2017 |
birdman: Well, I did not watch the game sha so you have a point. Was surprised to see K Love and Kyrie clock 34mins and Bron clocked 42. |
