I always thought Shaughnessy was an idiot but...

This really is an embarrassment. Perhaps LeBron may now bail and become a Knick?

lebron is asked to do more than any other superstar of our era. You name me another NBA team that won a championship without at least two superstars. who is the other star on cleveland?

Either way, they win the next game in Boston.

[ateamstupid]

LOL.

He'll never win a title. Keep shooting threes, LeBron. You're a god-damned second coming of Rex Chapman. Seriously. You can do anything.

That is true but they arent even competing and LBJ has to take the blame. He has sleepwalked through this game like his kid was kidnapped and the only way the kidnappers werent going to kill him is if he threw this game. His passiveness is not a quality that this particular team can survive. The fact is that they feed off of him and you can blast brown all you want but he really has his hands tied. At some point you have to demand the ball and force things. Just meekly accepting another beating is an embarassment.

That being said Boston has played unusually well. They deserve a lot of credit too.

FTFY


But nothing is over here.....3 is not 4. The Celts still have the toughest challenge yet ahead of them

If Brown had any balls or sense he would have sat the starters for the last 10 minutes of the game and let them watch. If they are embarrassed they should be. he is gonna get sacked regardless. might as well go out with a little dignity.

Ahhh, the ultimate and complete joy it is to be a Cleveland fan!! Somewhere Jobu is laughing his ass off. And at this time, Austin Kearns is the best professional athlete in the city. It is a horror show.

deep down I should be thankful. I think an Orlando series would have been 100 times uglier than the Spurs finals series in 2007. They would have beaten tha Cavs worse than they beat the Hawks.

At some point you have to give gang green a little credit for playing better than you thought they were capable of.

See last post.

Game 6 is going to be one hell of a dramatic game. Both sides have enormous pressure on them. The Celtics, with this being the Big 3's last decent shot at a title, with the choke against Orlando last year fresh in memory, and LeBron and the Cavs, with the prospect of being labeled playoff chokers and the Mavs of the East, and of course the free agency question. Should be a wild night.

It will be interesting. Boston is a better road team than home team and they have played better in all 3 road games than their two home games in the series which makes no sense. But they won more road games than home in the regular season too. Even in their win at home they didn't perform all that well outside rondo, Cleveland just out-badded them. It's hard for me to have too much confidence though in a team that lost two consecutive home playoff games by 50 points. Something very ugly appears to be going on with them.

I can't remember being this excited for a basketball game in the past, and this includes the '08 Finals. Makes little sense, I know.

Does lebron come through?

I think he does. I think he does something superhuman tonight and the cavs bring it back home for game seven.

Regardless, before you throw tomatoes at me, I was totally dead wrong about this series. Boston is much better than I thought they would be.

Serious matchup problems. If Cleveland goes with starters, they can't defend the celtics when they spread the court. When they go small, they can't score and lebron has to do everything.

I know he takes a lot of heat but Doc did a pretty darn good job this series. Or maybe he just did an Okay job and Brown is just that bad.

Nope, Doc is still a moron. We have as high as a 10-point lead and he waits until the Cavs are on an 8-0 run to pull within one to rest Rondo. Good time to go without the best player in the series Doc.
