Open Thread: Cavs at Celtics, Game Four

May 9, 2010 by 204 Comments

You ready to do this one more time? The Cavs are back at it this afternoon at 3:30 pm for their fourth game against the Boston Celtics.

Game 3 certainly was a blast as it was nice to have that sort of a game after the long layover. Cleveland is 2-11 in their history in the post-season at the Garden meaning it’s doubtful we’ll see another blowout again tonight. Either way, a win for the Cavs could mean the essential end to this series. It would be incredibly difficult for Boston to win three straight, including two at the Q.

Keys to victory today are to limit Rajon Rondo’s scoring efficiency, get started early and to control the tempo. In game two, the Celtics controlled the style and pace of the game with their effort defensively. Friday, the Cavs returned the favor with their aggression on both sides of the court. We will see who takes the next step tonight.

    Why did no one put Rondo on his ass during his repeated drives to the basket? You have to make him think twice about getting to the hoop! It drove me nuts watching…Shaq especially…let Rondo go up uncontested. We need some old-school playoff basketball mentality. Don’t give an inch!

    The Cavs are not losing because of a lack of heart or toughness. They are losing and will continue to lose because of a lack of talent and coaching. The Cavs have the best player in league in Lebron no doubt,but just take a look at what surrounds him. The Cavs are collectively the worst team left in the playoffs that can be considered a contender. All Boston,Orlando or whomever comes out of the west have to do to beat the Cavs is play up to their potential. In order for the Cavs to win, all those “talented” guys like Anthony Parker,Andy,Mo Williams and the other muck sitting on bench have to do is play out of their minds. One player no matter great cannot beat an entire team. Especially when the other teams has at least too very good players on it. Ferry was and continues to be a fool for refusing to bring another player in his prime onto the team who get his own shot. That kind of player is imperative for the Cavs because Mike Brown cannot run an offense.

    #187 is funny. How dare Lebron want to play with front of the draft talent like Kobe,Nash,Howard and the big three have. It is Lebron who has been held hostage by a team owner who is obviously insane, a gm who has a creepy, irrational,obsessive sense of loyalty to player that has never anything but an albatross, and a coach that is as stupid as a summer’s day in florida is long, hot, and sticky. If Lebron were smart he would leave this year. If he stays he’ll be nothing but a stat monster.

    Eric,

    If Lebron would just sign an extension like Kobe, Nash, and Howard do, maybe star caliber talent would want to come and play with him.

    Most of the people on here should be embarrassed.
