1 seed, 2 seed, poppy seed, sesame seed..Doesn't matter to Henny Kang: #1 Celtics vs #2 Cavs

[Mars]

Lebron had one of his passive games.It happens from time to time.Love/Irving were on fire,so Lebron decided to defer(save his legs/energy).Unfortunately,cleveland becomes vulnerable when Lebron plays this style of basketball.If Irving/Love are the main options on offense,it means they're playing heavy minutes.Which means,a poorer defensive unit is on the floor for longer stretches.Every playoff game prior to game 3 Lebron was aggressive.He took 20+ shots in 8 of 10 games.And in the two games he took less than 20 shots,he averaged 18.5 free throw attempts.When Lebron is aggressive the cavs are nearly unbeatable.Lebron needs to keep his foot on the gas and finish boston off.He can get his rest when the series is over.I put this lost squarely on the back of Lebron.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

honestly.. this was good for the Cavs. Celtics played with heart and Cavs thought they were just going to walk through and get the win easily. I was more thrilled that the Celtics just COMPETED. Once Lebron engages himself, they will still get washed but Celtics did what they had to do to not be looked at as bums

I'm mad it took da Celtics two games to get physical with tha Cavs AND realize Tristan Thompson n Kevin Love are not rim protectors n ATTACK THE BASKET!!!!

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Shout out to Jerebko or whatever his name is for trying to compete. He said it right, they were giving the Lebrons TOO MUCH RESPECT.

They're a great team yes, but you have to compete. Every cat on the celtics was the man at they're respected teams in HS and college. He went in and talked shyt, started problems, basically brought that competitive energy to these cats and let them know this won't be as easy as you thought

People neglect heart imo when dealing with anything in sports. If you have heart and is not willing to go out like a bytch, you can defeat a team that is unrealistically impossible to beat.

Thats the 90's shyt that most of us old heads want to see. Thats the shyt that make MJ and Kobe fans consider them great for. They played against cats that are willing to do whatever it takes to win and even if they did lose, you always respected their competitive nature.

It's why you see 39 year old Ginobli still making plays at his age. Dude is a competitor and will do whatever it takes to win even if he comes up short.

Jerebko understands that imo. Talk that shyt and back it up even if you coming off the bench. People forget that Jason Terry did the same shyt when he was on the Mavs.

Here my question to lue.... How long did it take him to realize Bron was passive you would think that lue could do something to get his head in the game. Also wondered if the team saw and said anything or just let it go

Proud of the C's we in great hands as long as Coach Stevens here

Naw this is just one of those LeBron games when he doesn't come out aggressive in the 1st half, .

Thats how i knew the cavs would lose this game from his lack of aggressiveness from the jump, he wasn't looking to score. He's the leader and the best player on the team , he need to set the example for team. Without lebron the team won't have no chance, him playing pedestrian show that time and time again. I thought the playoffs change his old habits but i guess i was wrong

I am not going crazy over this loss, but here is something to consider.

Remember 2011? The Heat lost game 2 by 2 points and everyone was like

When they lost game 4 -
When they lost game 5 -
When they lost game 6 - :silvugh:

NEVER take anything from granted. LeBron HAS frozen up before.

If Lebron purposely throws this series to avoid the Finals I will no longer stan him

Right. Terry and Kidd were also over the hill etc etc.

Never take it for granted Brad Stevens is a great coach.

His last game was similar to his 8 point special in that series.
