But what I realized last night would kill the Celtics against the Cavs is inability to rebound. If they can't keep Gortat and Porter off the boards, good luck against Lebron, Thompson and Love. The Celtics are a really small team and what big men they have are bad rebounders. I remain astounded this team is the 1 seed in the East and that the Wizards are down 2-1. But just shows how far a team can go with great coaching and a 5'7" guy with absurd self belief. Honestly I've been waiting for the lack of rebounding to kill this team every series, and it might have been in the last series except for the Rondo injury and the Bulls giving up. I have no idea what to expect from this team any more (I am surprised by how great Thomas has been and how bad most of the rest have been). They've exceeded my modest expectations, so it's all just pure entertainment, especially with the extra edge from how much these teams hate each other. I hope Oubre doesn't get suspended. It'll be more fun, and besides, he's something like -40 for the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briantw Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 This Raptors/Cavs series is pretty much proof that you can't get anywhere in the postseason without a superstar. The Raptors made a bunch of moves to try to match up with the Cavs, and the Cavs are just blowing them out with ease. Also, LeBron has now won a road playoff game in 28 consecutive playoff series, an NBA record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Spurs knuckling up on defense. Think that blowout in Game One might have been a wake-up call. Holding a 5 point lead about halfway through the 3rd on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Rockets shooting 33% through 3 quarters. San Antonio's defense is on lock. 72-66 through 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Aldridge taking over in the 4th. This is the Spurs team I know. No way they let the Rockets back into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 The Rockets haven't been held under 100 points in two straight games all season. The Spurs threatening to hang that on them here in Game 3. 100-90 with 55 seconds to go. /Harden with 43 points, but only 5 assists. Playing right into Pop's hands, methinks.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 And scene. Spurs are back, yo. All this without their veteran Point Guard. Impressive road win. And they insure this one goes to at least 6, which is good news for my Warriors. Tonight I am a San Antonian. Remember the Alamo and all that.

Pop vs. Mike Brown is not where you want to be, methinks. Plus, the corpse of LaMarcus Aldridge was moving pretty well last night, which could be a problem for the Warriors.

David Selig Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Credit to Popovich, he tweaked his defense and they have done a great job in Games 2 and 3. Kawhi and Green's length and tenacity has really disrupted Harden's playmaking. The whole team has also played great transition D in these two games.

I think both of these teams are capable of beating the Warriors when they are on their A+ games, but if this one goes the distance, and the Warriors wrap up the Jazz early then all the better. That said I agree as far as there being a coaching disparity. But that's true for everyone vs Pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but as a Cavs fan, I can attest that Mike Brown is a special kind of stupid. He's fine when he's only a defensive coach, but he's the most inept person in the world at managing games and rotations. He's essentially the Peter Principle incarnate.
