Cavaliers (3-3) at Celtics (3-3) ECF Game 7 5/27/18

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Rozier and Brown go from the best non-Lebron players on the floor in game 6 to absolute trash in game 7. We had a lot of chances at the end, but nobody except Tatum could hit a gd shot. And, why Brad thought it was a good idea to put Rozier back in for Brown is beyond me.

Incrdible.

Just inexplicably poor decision-making by Brad tonight. Literally did nothing all night long, and just like in game 6 his poor timeout calling led to them getting big runs. And let's not even begin to talk about his hesitance to rein in Rozier and Brown who went 6 for freaking 32 tonight.

Overrated coach, especially on here. Couldn't even beat this Cavs team without Love on our homecourt because he's too passive and soft to discipline and control his effing players.

He really lost his way tonight. I still think he's a top 2 coach in the league, but dear God that was a shocking performance. Him, Rozier and Brown were the holy trinity of chokers tonight

he never reins in crap thats his fricking stupid problem

[Yoki_IsTheName]

another 3-2 series lead blown to lebron??

DISGUSTING

Looks like it .

eff this. we won 3 games convincingly and this is what we got in game 7? i'd rather been swept

and wait for next year with everybody back. how can u play this stupid?

Same, and as for that one possession with the consecutive misses from three as if no other shot was available, well, analytics . Morons. These guys just don't get it.

we are such a stupid team

now the lebron blowing commences disgusting

how do u give lebron this game

HE DID NOT EARN ****

I hate these posts. Give this team credit.
We lost in the last minutes of game seven of the ECF aganist the best player ever (behind MJ)  without our best players.
No team can do what we have done this year.
And we found an all atar in a 20 year rookie.
This is a wonderful season

Exactly.

LeBron needed 7 games, and a terrible game for us to get thru. It took Rozier and Brown clanking shots for him to get past us. And even then, we were in that game until the last minute.

It's understandable that it's disappointing, but we had one heck of a season, and there's a lot to be proud about, and to look forward to.

Can't wait to see Kyrie and Gordon with this team.

[Draft XIV]

Go Celtics!

[Kuberski33]

How many of you still want to trade Kyrie & Gordon? Foolish Chatter

Talent matters in the NBA...the playoffs are so long...eventually players revert to their talent level.  This team went as far as it was going to go.

Yep. Overrated is the word. Good coach but he doesn't have control of the team.

**** how is this on Brad are you guys drunk? It’s not his fault guys were bricking wide open good looks. Brown and Rozier were both trash it’s why Rozier wasn’t in the game. Brown didn’t move the needle. He brought Rozier back in and he continued to brick.

[celticinorlando]

Brown, Rozier and Smart finished 8-42 from the field and 3-26 from three. That was the difference in the game.

[Who]

Rozier was a frightening 0-10 from 3 - but without him the C's never get close to where they finished.
Sad to lose this one, but Cavs should get their clocks cleaned in the Finals.  And the C's would have as well.   Better to bow out in a close series and hold that with you through the summer.  C's will be scary next year -- and it's only 4 months till training camp.

Darn right. Rozier has had a great postseason.

[BringToughnessBack]

we just missed great shots. horford had to get more touches on the block.

great season, a lot of things to be excited about

Horford was hot trash at home- He is on my crap list —-even when Kyrie and Hayward take light off him- I am  bitter on his performance -

[Rosco917]

Takeaways:

Rozier in this series was exactly who he's always been-- a streaky shooter who can light a team up when he's hot, and shoot you out of the game when he's cold.

Smart was also exactly who he's been: awful shooter but excellent teammate who never quits on a play.

If it's a choice between the two, trade Rozier and re-sign Smart. When we get Kyrie and Hayward back I'd rather have Smart's grit over Rozier's scoring.

Al did all he could, but he needs help. His teammates stopped going to him in the post in favor of bricking threes, and that's what cost us the game.

Tatum is going to be a star. 

Cleveland didn't win this game-- we lost it. Terrible performance. Inexperience on display.

That said, it was a hell of a run and I'm very proud of this team's resilience. We have a bright future!

About sums it up for me.

He has his quirks, but I don't think you can blame the open shots that Rozier and Brown missed on Brad.

We got the open looks, we didn't make it. That's not on Brad.

No way a top 2. A top coach doesn't let his guys kill them with ill advised 3 balls.
If they win it all next year it will be due to a stacked roster and nothing more.

[Ogaju]

Didnt get killed by Green, Lebron, or whomever... they shot 18% from three and most of them were uncontested

That was the game....

Should have put them away ....I started feeling jittery when Cs could not push it to 15

I'm a huge Brad fan, and it difficult to blame him for so many missed shots from our guys, but there had to be a better plan than to just let Rozier, Brown, and Smart toss up contested 3s. He is probably the best Xs and Os coach in the league, but there's still something missing - hopefully it comes with experience.

you are all mental... held the Cavs to 90 points and gort his guys wide open shots...he has nothing to do with all the misses ... like they say you can only play with the cards you got!!!

[bopna]

Rozier: 2-14  0-10 on 3's
Brown: 5-18 3-12 on 3's including a lucky bucket after it was all done.
Morris: 5-14
Smart: 1-10.

they should be fined their game pay.  no excuses for that awful of a performance.

An absolute abysmal lerformance of those 4.

A couple of makse from three from Brown and Rozier and we get this but it truly was not meant tobe.

Trade Rozier now and develop Jabari Bird.. We can't pay Rozier when his contract is up.

Brown was out done by the player he is molding his game into.. Jeff Green. Come on Cs fans... He will be a Green clone and im just about 80% right on that one.

Smart's limitations should be given a 10million contract and no more than that.
