Cavs (3-3) at Celtics (3-4) Game 8 11/14/14

[4THQTR]

That was a very entertaining 1st quarter, but how can the cavs look this bad on defense...?!

They better improve a lot throughout the season if they intend to make noise in the playoffs. I'm sure they will improve their D as they develop chemistry and everyone has figured out the system etc., but what they showed on this 1st quarter was shockingly bad!

Godzeller can shoots well with his left hand.

[Who]

Sloppy foul by Zeller. Put himself in a bad situation.

[KeepRondo]

Pass the ball and stay out of the way Turner.

[greece66]

Looking good early again.

If games lasted 25 min we might be contenders 

[Who]

Awful turnover by Sullinger

[Neurotic Guy]

Is there anyone who likes Turner on this board ? Like i said, love this team, don't hate any of our players but with Turner i just can't see the value. His expertise is the worst shot in basketbal, can't create, can't dribble as good as he thinks and just an okay passer. I just don't see it.

Please help me like him, he's a celtic so i kinda feel obligated but...

He's big, quick, he can shoot, he can drive, he can dribble he can pass. He's just careless sometimes.

I like him more than I liked Bayless or Crawford.   He'll make mistakes and he'll make big plays.   I don't think back-up PG is really a role he excels at or what he'll be here anyway unless he's needed there. 

[Who]

Very interesting to see Cleveland go with Varejao and K-Love together so early in quarter.

Kyrie is out there too. Playing many of their best non-LeBron players in 2nd unit together.

[Surferdad]

Zeller never misses shots.

[timobusa]

Zeller never misses shots.

I agree! His fg percentage is like 70 plus percent something ridiculous like that.

I love the Godzeller

[Vox_Populi]

Refs call a foul on Rondo cause they didn't want to see him shut down James.

His main problem is that he is not as good as he thinks. Other than that, he has enough skills and  athleticism to be a good bench player in this team.

Pretty much agree.  I like Turner but he plays out of control sometimes. Better than Crawford and certainly Bayless.

HOW IS THAT A FOUL ON RONDO WHEN LEBRON SHOVES HIM IN THE BACK SUCH BS

I guess, i just don't like that he can't shoot the 3. Mostly personal bias though, as that's pretty much my only basketball skill.
