A) That's no cheap shot. JR Smith pushing Al Horford while he went up to get the ball in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter. THAT was a cheap shot. 
B) Even that foul never happened, it would not have made a difference. 

That push from Jr Smith could have been way more harmful than anything Tatum did to Lebron.

As soon as I saw the replay, I immediately said: "That's a flagrant!" 
Even Stevie Wonder could see that move was disgusting. What Tatum did is just what comes with the game. You try to go for the basketball, sometimes shit happens. You leave it at that and you move on. What JR did goes beyond basketball, that was crossing the line. A move like that could justify a 1 game suspension.



The Cavs only hope at this point is that the Celtics fall apart on the road, and lose confidence as a result. Not impossible, but highly unlikely. The media is going to make much of the fact that the Celtics have only won one road playoff game so far this season, but that really doesn't mean much right now. Not only because this young group is quickly maturing together through this process, but because as TH3-DOS3R pointed out, Cleveland doesn't play shit for defense most of the time, and that's not exactly a recipe for stripping a team of it's confidence. The Cavs don't communicate on D, they're out there rolling their eyes at each other, hell most of the time they don't even look to be giving any effort back there, and when you play like that you're simply not going to demoralize anybody.

People wanted to make far too much of the Raptors series. The Cavs weren't "back." They hadn't "figured it out." The "switch" wasn't flipped. They simply played a team who literally walk into an arena with Lebron like they just stepped into a real life horror movie. DeRozan probably needs to see a sport psychologist every off-season to exorcise the image of Lebron from his mind long enough that he can enjoy his vacation without having nightmares every day.

The way the regular season unfolded, and the Pacers series told you everything you need to know about the Cavs. Hell, the Pacers really had them by the balls and gave it away multiple times. Make no mistake....these Celtics are a lot better than the Pacers. Lebron should thank his lucky stars that Kyrie isn't playing, otherwise certain people would never let him hear the end of how Robin left Batman, and then spanked his ass.



Looks like we've got ourselves a series!



Nice win by Houston and I think they still can play better since Clint Capela still hasn't shown up in this series so far.

Damn once in while you get some golden comments in the Yahoo comment section someone just posted a few minutes ago: "Zaza confused for the last 3 minutes, no one worth injuring on the court." and yesterday you had this golden nugget "Celtics won the Isaiah Thomas trade. Kyrie was just icing on the cake. They could've traded the midget for a box of donuts and a 44 oz. Big Gulp and still come out as winners."

It's gonna be tough. Next two games are road games.

 

Do it Rockets, I believe in ya!



Momentum change in Rockets-Warriors series, with huge win by the Rockets. The Rockets are now favourites and they should win in 6 games.

I'm rooting for the Rockets also.  But even though Clint didn't have a very good game everybody else showed up. 



Cavs laying a smack down on the Celtics. This right here is the difference between a team and a collection of NBA players that happened to show up in the same color jerseys.
