  1. Golden S. Warriors should have played like this when they faced Celtics few days ago. Cavs did a great job!

  2. If there was a no-call on Tatum's shot, why didn't Kristap's shot count? The 2 happened simultaneously, so as was the no call on Tatum's shot where they reviewed and said it didn't exist, then Kristap's should have counted, seeing nothing happened around him that disturbed his shot. He made the shot in time. Refs gift-wrapped this one for Cleveland. Tatum did sign the card and tie the ribbon though. Stop giving him the ball in clutch moments.

  3. Dubs take notes- you guys need to do defense or get defensive. Impressive 4th quarter win for the cavs.

  4. I hope we get to see these 2 in a game 7 series, impressive win without Spida, strus and partly Mobley

  5. celtics needed the loss. they clearly stopped grinding once they saw the 20 point lead early forth…. but thats the NBA, if you allow the energy to leave your team any team of elite basketball players on the planet, can rally a 20 plus point come back…

  6. It’s the new league. Win by 30 today and lose by 30 tomorrow. Or in this case lose to a team they had no business losing to while the game before completely destroying a team that had a better chance.

  7. Celtics played well early, but in the Fourth quarter, they shot & missed too many I'll advised 3's, then they let the Cavs shoot a bunch of poorly defended shots until they got back in the game. Their defense got significantly weaker as the game went on.

  8. Celtics, making the same mistakes of years past.

    -Get a big lead, go on vacation.
    -Don't use timeouts properly
    -Let a scrub who never scores, put up 20+ on you
    -Dribble the clock out for a Tatum fadeaway in double coverage while the team all stands around at the perimeter.

    We've seen a lot less of this, thank god. But when does it go away for good???

  9. Man, in game live betting has absolutely destroyed any legitimacy to these NBA games. So I'm supposed to believe that the Celtics just forgot how to play basketball in the 4th quarter? Lol, uh uh, OK. I'm a huge Cavs fan, born and raised in the land but dang, this is just too obviously phony to me.

  10. Fell sound asleep with the game on and the Cavs were down 20 and the Cleveland fans woke me up around 20 min later roaring like it was the finals. Congratulations to the Cavs. Came here to watch what I missed.

  11. Great to see a flop backfire and cost them the game. Porzingis had that rebound if not for Tatum's kick to make contact. Tsk tsk

  12. Great comeback Cavs. Celtics are the team to beat in the East. This was a good regular season win for them.

  13. Idiot refs don’t know that you can’t shoot a momentum fade away to the right without your legs going up😂. We need refs who actually played basketball.

  14. That was a foul on Cleveland with one second left Tatum should of been shooting free throws to win the game BS call.

  15. The Boston Celtics are unstoppable!! how dare you even question them!? They are the best team ever man. Don't even have the playoffs!

  16. I hate to say this but when I watch the Cavs they get beat everything. I turned off the game down by 20. I ate dinner and tried to see how bad they lost. Like Gomer Pyle said, Surprise Surprise Surprise!

  17. Dude, doesn’t Bickerstaff freaking understand that when Mobley and Allen are in together it’s simply doesn’t work. The offensive rating goes down dramatically. Is it a coincidence? The Cavs are always doing their best when only one big man is in???? is it a coincidence the Cavs went 18 and two, and blew away every team when Mobley was out.

    You cannot spread the floor when you have two big men with no three-point ability .. it didn’t work last year it’s not gonna work. The entire Cavalier fanbase knows this. I don’t know why Bickerstaff doesn’t get it.

    Coincidence you take out Mobley and you come back from 20 points …stick with one big guy at a time dude ..this fan base is gonna track down Bickerstaff and beat his ass at some point.

    I swear this team has the right pieces, but this moron of a coach is not using them how he needs to
