Horford missing that wide open 3 down 8 with momentum was painful. Just didn’t feel right after that.

The Cavs are one possession away into making this game a loss.
The road issues on this team is real. They're way too young, and it shows. They're obviously not as talented as they could be and that is showing too.
The only thing that's going to save the Celtics this series is that they hold home court advantage.

You don't want Morris taking stupid shots to end the game and now he's taking the last two shots.

Need to take advantage when LeBron is off the floor. And they do the opposite. Lots of criticism to go around tonight, but Stevens making no adjustments should probably be #1. Edit:  Not sure what to say to you, sometimes it seems like you are just a troll. |

Steve Javie is so useless. I don’t think he’s ever said anything insightful in one of his segments.

LeBron just ended that game with that steal and layup.

Just a bunch of bad bounces for the Celtics tonight.

Take the starters out. Try again next time. LeBron with another 40 point game. What a man that guy is.

Listen the first quarter was ATROCIOUS, but I'm proud of the fight and how they tried afterwards. They definitely f*cked up their chance to win this one, but it comes with being a ridiculously young team.
While I'm not happy about this, I'm not too angry. They tried and they macho'd up post 1st quarter. Except Horford. Horford sucked tonight.

There won't be a better player that the Celtics face this playoffs other than LeBron. This guy's will to win, his defensive prowess (when he tries), and his overall offensive game is just such a hard dynamic to defend. I appreciate watching his game and get also depressed watching it. The Celtics just haven't figured out how to beat this guy in the playoffs in a long long time.

Oh and this game was officially the death of NBA officiating. Not against either team, it just sucked for everyone on the court. Silver needs to hold these guys accountable.

I can live with Smart not shooting well, I can't live with him getting 5 turnovers also. I know we keep comparing Rozier to Irving and what that means. The massive upgrade is Irving over Smart though.

The fact that this beat up squad just went into Cleveland and played like crap and still lost by single digits is amazing.

Just dysfunctional everywhere, offense and defense. But the effort was clearly and they gave it their all. I definitely feel more okay with this than game 3, game 3 was an abomination. |

I don't know about one of the worst games this year. They did this a lot this year, slacking for a half than turning it on in the second half. They won a lot of games doing that, you just can't beat the Cavs and LeBron playing that way in the playoffs. You won't win manny games giving up 68 points in the first half. Love the fight they showed in the second half, but we need that all game.

Missed dunks, missed layups and missed wide open shots yet still in it at the end. Oh well, hold service with a home win and move on.

The massive upgrade is Irving over Smart though. Three of those turnovers were hustle plays where Smart was trying to save a ball from going out of bounds off a Celtic. |

The massive upgrade is Irving over Smart though. This all depends on if Rozier can play a bench roll. He hasn’t exactly shown to be a consistent guy off the bench. This exact team with a healthy Kyrie and Hayward may be better with Smart on the bench than Rozier. Maybe in a bench role Terry would lock it in defensively, but I’ve seen him abused way too often on that end this post season. Either thru no fault of his own just being switched on to a bigger guy or by letter guys like TJ McConnell and JR Smith blow right but him. |

Yeah I mean, Smart will help you lose some games, but he'll win you some important games too. Game 2 was a huge Smart game for example. Smart is who he is. He should be kept for a bench role, he serves a really great team best in that role. The one improvement is Kyrie coming back over any PG the Celtics have right now period, if he's healthy. I'm not sure if I trust his knees, but Rozier's disappearing acts in road games are kind of proving why the Celtics can't move on from Kyrie if they think he comes back 100 percent. |

The last 2 games highlight why I don’t understand why people think his value has all of a sudden changed. He’s the same guy, was in games 1 and 2 and was in games 3 and 4. We’ve been watching him long enough to know this. His annoyances are the same they just feel different when the team around him are actually hitting their shots and playing good defense.
