So glad Danny held onto Semi, Yabu, Nader and that super awesome first round pick that will net them another 2 way guy that spends more time in Maine

Cavs are fouling 5 times for every time they are actually called.

I gave up on this issue a long time ago. this was every LeBron team philosophy "foul on every play... they won't call it".

Do people HONESTLY believe we'll miss this many WIDE OPEN shots in a 7 game series while their bums make every piece of trash they hoist up?  Especially with Smart back and a shortened playoff rotation?  The Cavs are doing NOTHING on defense to shut us down, we're just missing shots we usually make.  It happens.  Like Aaron Rodgers said....."R-E-L-A-X....RELAX."

Sad to see from today. I figured there would be a 'honeymoon' period from this Cavs team; nobody can hate each other if they don't know each other.

However, we have been awful for weeks now. Even when we do win, I am usually upset for 95% of the game and then dumbfounded when we actually do come back. I think the only Cs fans who are enjoying this team right now are those who look at the box score and standings after the game as that is the only proof that we aren't as horrible as we seemingly are.

Our season has always hinged on Hayward's return and I also think Smart would help this lackadaisical garbage we see in the 2nd quarter every game. Hopefully we can at least make it to the 2nd round. Keeping Kyrie happy is kind-of imperative to our future as a franchise.

So down 20 at home and then you start playing with any kind of energy at the end of the 3rd quarter. What a joke.

Like clockwork.

[KGs Knee]

Maybe we should try and put Pierce in and see if the refs don't notice.

That might be our best chance today.

Come on baynes!

This game has unfolded precisely as I thought it would. Cleveland, despite half its roster being new in the last few days, is steamrolling the Cs, who are having massive trouble integrating one new player (who is barely playing).

And of course, this is totally energizing all the LeBron lovers across the ESPN/ABC family, who make me sick, like Marv Albert and his MJ fawning back in the day.

I'm starting to view this Boston team as the homeroom bully—the biggest (and thus most successful) among its age group, but can't really hang with the older kids (outside of the occasional lucky punch).

down by 30 and espn gets suck the Cavs balls even more

[nickagneta]

Team has cashed out. Semi with multiple 3 pointers with Tatum, Brown and Rozier on the floor

Just like the C's have been doing all season? Just like they'd done against the Cavs in the playoffs every year? This isn't a fluke.

[jpotter33]

So embarrassing. This is a team where virtually half of the roster just got revamped a couple of days ago.

We just have no heart or character on this team right now, and it starts at the top. Yeah, losing Smart definitely hurts us, but this goes way deeper than just him. The fact that Brad and the coaching staff can simply  not figure out how to get this team to play with consistent effort (especially defensively) is beyond concerning.

Been 25 plus 3 times this week in three different games. This team does not give a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline..

[celticinorlando]

Not sure why Semi or Baynes get any PT...they are worthless.
