posted by like_thatShout out to Boston fans cheering and booing Lebron when he got hurt tho. Meanwhile cavs fans have Hayward a standing O.
Yeah I didn't get that at all. If Lebron is going to the lockerroom, he's obviously hurt since he's coming out of the game lol why would you boo someone who takes himself out of the game after getting hurt?
JR irks me.
Someone put Perk in to knock morris the fuck out.
Can’t believe I thought JR would have a big game. He’s been a fucking bum.
I loathe the non-basketball physicality that these piss fucking poor refs allow. Well, the league is more to blame. Two hands holding on to someone, and that’s just “good defense.” This is pathetic. Damn near makes this unwatchable.
The Cavs act like they don't even give a fuck. Awful defense in this quarter.
36 points given up in the 4th, after playing so well in the first half. Fucking disgraceful.
So sick of watching these bums.
Out coaxhed
Everyone on this team besides Lebron and Love fucking blows.

I can’t STAND Lue, but this game is on the players and their effort in the second half. They’re playing with absolutely zero effort.
Lebron just went passive ever since he got the shoulder to the head. I hate Boston, but they are easily the better team and want it more.
That foul on LeBron was absurd.

Agreed, but I hate some of the personnel decisions (JR, Hood). And the lack of any kind of defensive game plan.
JR's only contribution of the night is a dumbass flagrant.
Watching the Cavs’ effort this second half, I almost find myself rooting for Boston.
Game, blouses

Outside of the Toronto series he hasn’t contributed all playoffs.
Lue is bad. How do you let a team go 26-14 run and make no subs? How does Korver only play 9 minutes before the 4th and completely let him get cold? How does Hood play at all? Sure, players need to play better. But Lue needs to coach a lot better and put the players in position to actually do something.

Agreed. But the effort wasn’t there from the players in the second half. If they play like they didnin the first half, were tied 1-1 and Lue’s blemishes are slightly covered up.
Yikes. Danger Danger
I want them to lose game three and four so this can be over already.

Sure. But he didn’t even give the team a chance to have effort. When you don’t make a sub, how is there going to be a spark? Lineups go through lulls, a coach has to make the right switch to get it back.
Like, they got up 9 in the 3rd, then Boston goes on that run. Lue calls timeouts, thankfully, but then trots out the same lineup? What kind of coaching is that?!?

You’re talking to the head of the “FIRE LUE THE FUCK OUT OF HERE” fanclub. Lol
so I get it. They win in spite of Lue. I thought this would be one of those games. But they simply gave up in the second half because Boston came out a little fired up and better.
This was the type of game I figured the Cavs would be in during this series, but win. Lower scoring, both teams going cold for stretches, then Cavs win cause LeBron the last 7 minutes. But, Boston with no turnovers and offensive boards. Ugh. Brad Stevens is just so good.
