*Officail Cleveland-Boston elimination game thread*

[El Terrible]

That Bud Lager Red looks pretty good..

[Slipknot26]

Celtics let'em hang around
Not exactly sure why Celtics didn't call a Timeout during that run

[El Terrible]

This is not looking good for Boston

Mmmm? Not so fast my friend...

[Shafted69]

We got this BOS bettors. They let CLE back in the game for ratings. Watch this strong finish into half time.

[El Terrible]

Don't ever estimate the home court advantage in the 2nd half...

[jjgold]

Boston cannot play any worse

[Venom72]

The whole East/West thing is a farce anyway. New Orleans has been in the West ever since they got the franchise there. Memphis has been in the West ever since they got their franchise (from Vancouver).

The only issue would be all the traveling theyd have to do but they could make it work..or the players just get over it

[lakerboy]

Game finally going according to the line

[Slipknot26]

Pathetic officiating as normal

[Hman]

They gonna give up the lead before the half?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Smart with another fukking flop that the refs fell fo. This guy gets away with more shit than Draymond.

[El Terrible]

Dumb JR

[Hman]

Honesty Boston needed a double digit lead at half

[yisman]

that was a flop worthy of LeBron and refs call it a charge on LeBron

Should've been a blocking foul on Smart there.

No clue how the penetrate that was a offensive foul? Dude was in terrible position and not close to set.

[lakerboy]

Game is over.

[JIBBBY]

Cavs hanging around only down 4 points at half.. This game isn't done yet...

I like Lebron to finish strong in the crunch if it's still a tight game late.. Big game experience favors the Cavs..

Why wouldn't New Orleans and Memphis be in the West? They are West of the Mississippi... ???

[Shafted69]

2nd H line says CLE isn't coming back

[2daBank]

Game is over.

Bron got this

[Plaza23]

Lot of wide open 3s being missed by each side. Celtics are playing alot better even though they are only up by 4. They had just 1 turnover for the entire 1st half. They get good looks every possession. I think they'll pull away in the 2nd half and win by 12

They should be in the East like the other teams of similar longitude.

He wasn't even in a position to defend the ball. He purposely put his face out there and got barely touched and then flopped back like he got shot a 1/2 second later. I wish the NBA would fine and suspend players for flopping. The one thing I hate about the game. That's 2 flops by him both rewarded.

[Mac4Lyfe]

They should be in the East...

Why???

[yisman]

^Look at the map you posted and you'll see why.

If you think Memphis and New Orleans are in the "West", you might as well apply that to Chicago and Milwaukee as well.

The NBA has more teams in the Eastern part of the country than the West, so we have such absurdities as calling New Orleans and Memphis "West".

This is the first NBA playoff game I've watched this year because of issues like that .
NBA by far worst officiating in sports , phantom fouls in every game .
LeBron didn't even hit him in the jaw . Smart was acting like the sunavabitch was broke hahaha
Pathetic

Refs bought that acting job.. It happens...

Soccer is the worst. They need to fine and suspend them as well. It's awful to watch and should be punished when you're purposely trying to fool the refs. The NBA should make a rule that if it looks like a flop that they can go to replay and automatic technical foul called. 2nd one and you're kicked out of the game. That would stop all the bullshit. They had said they were going to go to that and they were handing out fines after the fact but didn't publish the fines. They need to catch them in the game as it happens and apply technicals.

Its funny

[Slipknot26]

Some serious masonry work going on to start the 2nd Half

[El Terrible]

Pretty soon the Cavs are gonna start hittin 3's

[El Terrible]

Pretty soon the Cavs are gonna start hittin 3's

See!

[Slipknot26]

Yep , Celtics had a chance to get up big in the 1st H but it's the nba so they kept slinging 3's like crack rock while they couldn't hit shit .
Stevens calls a TO after the 12-2 run while you could see it happening wondering why he didn't call one well before .
Cavs start hitting 3's Boston is done

[Hman]

Pretty soon the Cavs are gonna start hittin 3's

Crucial to Boston that they start separating on the scoreboard
