Comments from the Other Side - Cavaliers Game 1 4/19/15

Cavs fans seem to be as superficial as the Heat fans.  They come out with bluster and hate on their own team when they struggle.  They also aren't happy unless they are getting every single call.  I was surprised that even the TNT announcers were noticing that LeBron got away with murder without getting called on it.  And they also noticed that the Cavs were getting the benefit of a lot of calls.  They also did a lot of complaining about their crowd.  There are a few honest Cavs fans out there, but I suspect that a lot of them are bandwagon and fair weather fans.  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours? 



Hey Boston, we brought our brooms.

Hope the Cavs jump on them early today.

Let’s do this. A 20-point win would be very fun

The only reason I don't think it will be a sweep is our lack of playoff expierence as a team and some of our player's lack of playoff expierence as individuals. So I'm going to say we win in 5.

I think it'll be 4 blowout victories in a sweep, Celtics are awful.

Awful?? 24-12 over their last 36 games is "awful"?

The Celtics are not awful. Besides, it's the playoffs. Every team will be bringing their "A" game. The Cavs can not afford to "overlook" anyone. Injuries happen. You can't assume anything.

If the Celtics were a veteran ball club I would give em some kind of credit but they're not and neither is their coach. This is an ideal matchup for us, once we steam roll em... High fives on me lol

Everybody better bring their A game and open these playoffs with a f***ing annihilation of the Celtics.

It's hilarious that Chicago fans still think think the Bulls are coming out of the East. Delicate Rose has no chance of staying healthy for another 20 games. Can't wait to see Noah making more excuses and crying again.

After seeing the crowds at the Raptors game and the Watriors game yesterday, I'm hoping the Q is electric today.

The Q has been MIA all season besides the first game.

The Q is going to be rocking...we have the loudest fan base come playoffs

I want to see the Celts buried. Early.

I don't think the Celtics are prepared for what is about to hit them. We are going to beat them so bad in game 1 that will be enough to win the whole series. They will want to pack it up after this massacre.

First Rose makes fun of Cleveland not winning a title in over 50 years and then says this is a one shot deal with Kevin Love...he can go play in traffic. ESPN HATES Cleveland because LeBron announced his homecoming on SI.com.

I'm not taking the Celtics lightly or looking past them, but this has to be a sweep by the Cavaliers.

Celtics fans think they got this, why are they so delusional? seriously

Welp Love and JR clearly can’t handle the playoffs Not enough Playoff Experience

First blood unfairly drawn by the Celtics of Boston. Kinda wanted the first points

Zellers revenge lol

Can't say I anticipated Tyler Zeller dropping buckets in the playoffs when we drafted him, against us no less.

LeBron needs to calm down.. He caught a break big time, because he'd be on the bench with 2 already. He needs to stay on the floor.

I hope Isiah gets clocked in his stupid grill. How I hate that guy...

Our young players getting schooled by their young players

LBJ will need to play 40-45 minutes a gsme this series tristan is a scrub

Love's lateral movement on D is crap.

Iman shumpert will always be a bad shooter

Are we ok? Or do we suck? Not sure.

We suck so bad.

Once again, the crowd is subpar. I really don't know what's changed since Lebron left

Not much to cheer for right now.

We might lose this game.

Our shots are falling, problem is we can't defend shit.

And the Celtics were the ones worrying about the refs being unfair…..

I'd rather have Zeller and Wiggins than Love

Good, more fouls on Zeller so he doesn’t keep hitting so many bizarre shots.

Sat here trying to explain to my housemate what we traded Tyler Zeller for. All he can come back with is, ‘look he’s clearly good just look at him’. It’s hard to disagree

Them saying Isaiah Thomas has a chance to win the offensive battle is so disrespectful to Kyrie

Number 41’s hairstyle is horrid.

He’s Canadian lol

Never knew Isaiah Thomas was named after a lost bet – ouch

Thomas is killing us

I hate Isaiah Thomas the way I hate San Antonio during the 2007 Finals – unjustified vitriol that has nothing to do with their moral character

So is anyone guarding Kelly?

Nice try diving into the defender Thomas. Shocked the refs didn't fall for it.

Celts are killing us getting inside.

Boston came to play, got to give them credit. Then again, they are playing with house money. Nothing to lose

James Jones playing way too much, no Delly who is a much better defender than Irving, No Mozgov....Already Blatt doing some questionable stuff

If the Celtics can do this to our defense uh oh

Please win against these scrubs. Don't let Kelly Olynyk drop 40.

Stevens can coach. Really attacked Tristan on offense and defense when he was in

Celtics look like the best team in the east smh

This team deserves to lose no heart

LBJ needs to play 45 mpg this series This team is flawed Too many young idiots in this team

Iman no-jumpert.

Worst fans of the playoffs so far.

Tough to defend Thomas when he picks up his dribble 4 times a possession.

I wish we could have played the bucks

Wow....Boston isn't a bad team @ all. Really scrappy. I see this is going to be one annoying ass series

This team is too easy to guard right now, and they're letting the Celtics pressure on the perimeter get to them.

But their guards are getting to the rim at will. We're going to get killed by guys like Rose and Butler if this is how we play Boston.

brad stevens stop calling timeouts after 5-0 runs

Brad is a smart coach. Last timeout resulted in a Celtics run. I give Celtics and Brad major props thus far.

There isn't a single player on the Celtics that can guard Kyrie at all.

I just don't want to get beat by that lady Kelly.

Brad Stevens looks like he should have a Chemistry final next week.

Step on these cockroaches

Seriously, did Delonte sleep with someones mom again?

I don’t like this Kenneth Faried wannabe

He’s their "lebron stopper"

Cooked by the refs

Yay our shots are going in! Pls let this be the last lead the Celtics have in the series

It won’t be. We’re probably gonna lose a game or two as well.

Yeah we might lose a game or two in the playoffs, not this series

Celtics aren’t good enough to worry about.

If we manage to sweep this series, it’s not gonna be because we outplayed them. It’s gonna be because of the talent disparity. The Celtics play twice as hard as we do.

They’re still trash

Brandon Bass and Jonas Jerebko getting calls LeBron and KLove aren’t

Can we listen to Fred and AC? Breen and JVG are being bigger Celtic homers than Tommy Heinsohn.

Lol that time we got a bit lucky on the call, for once

All of starters have 2 PF except Kyrie at 1

The Celtics bigs all have 2 or more

I hate IT

These announcers are really biased. Van Gundy can off himself

I have such an irrational hatred for Jerebko

Love got blocked by a legal midget.

Brad Stevens is getting outcoaches so hard right now We literally have 3 players playing vs 8 and his team is losing

This isn't even going to be fair. Kyrie dropping 20 in the first half. Get those rings sized boys!

Lol Tristan Thompson is gonna get paid... As long as he doesn't have to match up Olynk. Cavs were lucky that he got in foul trouble as he was giving Thompson all sorts of problems

If Love cannot outplay Bass, Olenyiak and Jeribco, the Cavs are going to be in trouble as the playoffs continue.

The refs don't like Love I guess.

New coach, new players, and Bostons entire offense is still one gigantic illegal screen that never gets called.

Poor Gerald Wallace

It’s funny the people that were overreacting at the beginning of the game. The team with the clear talent advantage will always prevail in basketball.

Boston is scrappy and schemes well but they just don't have the firepower to keep up.

Starting Oilyknick was the wrong move. Former Cav was killin' it.

They're definitely letting LeBron get away with murder against Turner.

LeBron needs to play D like that more often than not. They aren't going to call fouls on him.

Small lineup is not working, Brad.

Bahston imploding.

Cavs have been pressing I.T hard and he is crying

Good job good effort, Celtics

Brad Stevens is being coached circles by Blatt right now Brad Stevens is being exposed

Van Gundy wearing a green tie…shocking ..... he crouches beneath the desk clutching his rosemary: "please god led the sinning cavs lose. Let god punish lebron in all of his wicked ways (cries a little to himself)"

Man, imagine if Kyrie had the championship experience of Rondo!! He’d be as good as Jordan!

Marcus Smart supposed to rattle Kyrie? Lol no

Turner has been awful

*For his whole career

Bahaha what a bad call but I’m loving it

Wow that was a really good trap on LBJ. Gotta give them props.

Celtics are swarming on d…. They will drain themselves on offence… I hope

Onslaught. This team is too deep for any team in the East.

ho hum take a 3 in your eye Smart

Celtics still in this. This displeases me.

Idk Whio is impressed with Sullinger? Zeller much better

Sully is trash, but Boston fans talk about him like he’s Kevin Love 2.0. Never ceases to amuse

Is anyone actually going to watch ATL vs Brooklyn?

I love that nobody cares about the Hawks even though they’re good. Can’t wait until they lose and we forget about them instantly

I really do respect them but good god that series sounds terrible.

In fairness, Brooklyn vs anyone sounds terrible.

Celtics suck! Celtics suck!

Honestly, why isn’t Boston playing Zeller more when he was playing so well at the beginning?

So much for having the Celts salted away... Someone want to box out Crowder?

12-0 run in 2 minutes. Call a gd time-out, Blatt. 0 effort from anyone, Celtics might take the lead this quarter

14 straight points by the Celtics. What are we doing right now

I don't care what the situation is, it is inexcusable for any team to go on a 14-0 against us.

Uh...Blatt what is this lineup???

Isaiah Thomas is so gd quick.

Typical Cleveland sports crowd- loud when things are good, but they go quiet as church when the team they are supposed to be backing has any struggles.

I don’t know why people would expect the crowd to be cheering when the Celtics are in the middle of a 14-0 run. Unless you wanted boos??

Dominating these bums, as suspected.

I realize Blatt has more weapons at his disposal, but I truly believe he is coaching circles around the vaunted Stevens.

I think I've had my fill of LeBron turnaround jumpers.

These officials should be fired, and deported out of here along with James Harden.

Lebron is so sloppy with the ball. I don't remember him ever being this lazy with the ball before this year

In basketball years, he's a senior citizen. Things that require athletic coordination are going to decline.

The wife just called Isiah Thmoas a "little f***ing jellybean", LMAO.

LeBron is contributing nothing but bad shots, at this point...

Kyrie might be better than the entire Celtic team combined.

I said it earlier and I'll say it again... This crowd is embarrassing. They're just not into the game at all.

This has been a good test for us. Boston has played hard, hasn't quit and has gone on runs and we've responded well.

Brad Stevens looks like a boy scout

He looks like a college kid.

When does he have to return his suit to Toys R US?

Boston is garbage. I hope they choke on this.

Love: 19 Points, 12 Rebounds (3 Offensive), 4 Assists, 1 Steal, 1 Turnover, 54% TS and +15 (leading the team)

He and Rondo will be a deadly combo in LA! /s

Why would Love want to squander his prime with a broken Rondo and the Lakers idiotic management?

I'm tellin' ya......having Zeller start on the bench beginning of 3rd killed any chance of momentum Boston had.

Celtic fans bitching and moaning like the frauds that they are.
