LOL. Funny stuff indeed. ONeal is a hack machine because he is as slow as a turtle.SQ_Crazies wrote: Shaq goes to the bench with 5 fouls (at least 2 were bailing out someone else's laziness) and our momentum dies because Boston attacks the front of the rim. Don't even bother FW.
Gotta bring the D back in Cleveland. That's literally all it is. We played lazy, uninspired defense in both losses.
If you had a keen eye for hoops you would understand how this guy has single handedly destroyed a great basketball team.
The 3rd quarter saw the Cavs make a great run...had nothing to do with the hackmeister. I do give kudos to Brown for ordering his team NOT to pass the ball to Shaq on the low block in the second half.

Rondo had a VERY VERY great performance today, but that game from LeBron was legendary.mallymal614 wrote:lol I'm just saying.Trueblue23 wrote:Hell no it's not.mallymal614 wrote: Maybe top 25?

When a 6' 1' point guard scores 29 points that's one thing, but when he adds 18 rebounds and throws in 13 assists for good measure, I would have to agree with those posters who have said that that may have been one of the top 15 play-off efforts of all time by a Celtic in the Garden. What in the world were the Cavs thinking out there? The other thing that really concerns me is that Paul Pierce was almost a complete no show and yet the Celtics got it done. How about the effort of Tony Allen? I was impressed with the toughness and tenacity of the Celtics today. If this is an old and worn out team, somebody better tell the Celtics. I don't think they know it. The Cavs still hold the advantage but the margin of error just got considerably smaller. And for the record, the Lakers are better than the Celtics.

Mo Williams and Anthony Parker should donate their paychecks to charity after that game. Wheres Jamario? Powe getting minutes before Z? I hate to second guess but I hope Brown knows what hes doing.
Anyways, Cavs got the spilt like they needed. They had a golden opportunity to steal this game and blew it down the stretch. I hope Mo gets his head out of his ass, sooner or later we are going to need him.

Top 10-15 for a Celtic, yes..
If they go on to win this series, today's game by Rondo will be held in even higher regard.

The Cavs need to stop letting dudes off the Celtics bench go for 15-20. Game 2 Wallace lit them up for like 18 and here in game 4 the other Allen went for 15. Rondo is going to score no matter what so we need to shut down the other dudes.
It's just like the game plan teams have to have when playing the Cavs. Lebron will always score but if they shut down Mo and Jamison they have a good chance.

True but Delonte is a bench guy for a reason. You need more out of your starting backcourt. Cavs can win without Delonte, they cant when their starting 1 and 2 play like that.Footwedge wrote:DWest had a lot worse game than either Mo or Parker.KR1245 wrote: Mo Williams and Anthony Parker should donate their paychecks to charity after that game.

DWest plays as many minutes as AV. If these guys play like crud, the team will probably lose.

but Dwest didnt play the minutes that mo and parker did. parker was on the floor way longer than he needed to be. half the time he didnt have clue as to who he was defending. both made terrible decisions on the offensive end. i wonder if parker ever heard the term" box out". anyway parker should have to write a column in the paper entitled"what i'm doing in the nba".Footwedge wrote:DWest had a lot worse game than either Mo or Parker.KR1245 wrote: Mo Williams and Anthony Parker should donate their paychecks to charity after that game.

Not to much talk about the g.o.a.t. on here tonight. Did he play today? Usually you fans are fighting over who's going to his house tonight to ''service'' him. Is it because his elbow is hurting or maybe another body part is hurting from getting his jock handed to him all day.

He has actually played better in the playoffs than he did during the last 2 months of the season.
Brown's job would be easy if he knew who would play well and who won't on any given day.
2 days ago, Parker was 4 for 4 from behind the arc.

Jeez, check out this stat from the AP article on the game:
"Rondo became the third player in playoff history to have at least 29 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists. Oscar Robertson had 32 points, 19 rebounds and 13 assists in 1963, and Wilt Chamberlain had 29 points, 36 rebounds and 13 assists in 1967."
That is more than just very, very great. That is ridiculous. A lot of players have certainly scored more points in playoff games, but to have a stat sheet that close to the Big O is amazing.
