Comments from the Other Side - Cavaliers Game 3 4/23/15

 It is just amazing to me that there was so much complaining about the refs in this game.  If you go by the comments you would expect there to be a 50-5 free throw disparity in the Celtics favor.  But the reality is that the Cavs took 3 more free throws than the Celtics ad the Celtics were called for 6 more fouls than the Cavs.  I guess when you are used to having the refs give you EVERY a fairly evenly called game seems one sided.  The refs last night were pretty good.  They let them play and let a lot of stuff go on both sides. Cavs fans are so ignorant.  But some did recognize how good Crowder is.  I really want to see Danny do whatever it takes to bring him back next season.   My favorites are in bold,  what are yours? 


Let’s put this game away early tonight and shut the Boston fans down!

Boston will come out hard tonight, I almost expect them to steal this. On the other hand our guys might actually feel less pressure on the road, and we might not shoot 24% from 3.

There’s a butt whooping contest in the Garden tonight, and the Celtics are supplying the butts

We have to be on point from the very beginning. If we’re down early, we’re done, because Boston crowds are loud and scary.

I don’t see us losing this. I was at the Cavs @ Celtics game early in the regular season where we won by like 1 point. We were getting blown out at one point, the crowd didn't faze the Cavs then and the roster is far superior now. Obviously it’s a one game sample size but I don’t put too much stock into playing in Boston

That wasn’t a playoff game.

Also, Boston had Green and Rondo then.

Anybody in here think it might be better for the Cavs to lose a game or two in this series? I could see the argument for it. If for no other reason, 1 extra home game helps Gilbert pay the luxury tax

Let’s get this!!!!!!…and why the heck are they talking about Jae Crowder..whatever man

I want this series to be over already. I hate playing at the Garden.

Just want to end their season on their floor like the Cavs were supposed to do in 2010

Hope we don't continue with the sketchy refs. Dictating the pace of the game while making turrible calls!

I predict the crowd in Boston will be incredibly loud and someone will post why are our fans so quiet?

Wouldn't it be ironic if this series is more competitive than if and when they face the Bulls lol?

Anybody else fully expect this series to come back to Cleveland tied 2-2?

Hate to tell you Fellas, but the refs might as well be wearing white and green tonight. We are going to be playing against 8 guys.

You guys...their crowd seems better than ours.

I'm just hoping the fans aren't excited because we're playing the lowly Celtics. Hopefully it'll be better against the Bulls.

If LeBron doesn't score 60 tonight on Evan Turner, he should be ashamed of himself.

The refs change every game, right? Hasn’t felt like it.

LeBron drew two fouls and no whistles. Oh well.

Its because the NBA wants the Celtics to win

GIGI DATOME ALERT SHUT IT DOWN. LET’S GO HOME.

Don't expect any whistles in our favor in Boston tonight. Not even mad, it's just the way it is. Won't matter, we will win by 15.

This shitty ass team is trying to hurt someone

Mark of the sucky team: playing unnecessary physical game.

The most classless fanbase you'll ever see. A bunch of garbage fans.

I have a feeling there's going to be a shit-load of Ts on us tonight. We are getting no calls and getting everything called on us.

They're getting more benefit of the doubt than we ever did in Cleveland. Sullinger should have like 3 fouls already.

We are the team that refs love to hate. It will be like this all playoffs.

5 on 8 again

We need to start earning foul calls. Might as well mug them in the lane if they are gonna call touch fouls.

Boston simply is not talented enough. They're well coached, and playing physical. They simply lack the personnel.

Every Sullinger foul is damn near a flagrant. While we can't even put a hand on a Celtic. And we're still ahead easy.

Sullinger is playing completely reckless out there. Should have 3-4 fouls. Result of being a fat, out of shape tub.

The Celtics have the most geeky looking white dudes I've ever seen in my life on a professional basketball team.

So much bad hair on the Celtics. Olynyk, Datome, Crowder. That team should be fined.

Jae Crowder is an irrelevant bitch.

Take a shot every time Boston flops.

We're getting hacked. Shut up about the Celtic's hustle. They're fouling and not getting called for it.

.How much does Love have to get fouled before they call it..That is absolutely awful and a disgrace to basketball. Unbelievable

How much did the NBA pay the refs to try to help the Celtics win one? My goodness, somebody needs to review this tape.

Refs could not be more one sided

Love is so soft, it's pathetic

Bradley Ratface activated

I was about to post something about his f****** face I just wanna punch it

Homer calls but I'm still looking forward o seeing drunk despondent Celts fans when they lose this game.   But just the obnoxious ones.

The Celtics have been allowed to be overly physical the entire game. We can't touch BOS without a call.

I hope these refs are fired and have to take up cart jockeying at their local Kroger to make ends meet.

Refs cooking up some New England Clam Chowder. Not surprised at all with these calls with the game in Boston.

That crowd is good though

Blatt always takes WAY too long to call time-outs. I think he is used to Israel, where everyone is poor, and they have to save every time-out, for a rainy day

KEVIN LOVE IS LARRY BIRD. I’VE FIGURED IT OUT

I really don’t like Sullinger

The Celtics have a lot of spunk but they can never sustain it in the 2nd half. That’s what I’ve observed anyway

I wish we still had Zeller.

Who does Crowder think he is? He thinks he’s so big time.

This is reminding me how much I hate the Celtics.

The NBA should be embarrassed of this officiating.

Perk needs to come in and elbow someone in the throat. We’re gonna get called for a foul no matter what we do.

Refs to Celts: damn it guys, we said we’ll pull your way, but you have keep it somewhat plausible. We can get in trouble for this

Celts are working their asses off – they deserve that credit. The Cavs roster is just too damn good

Not gonna lie I love Jerebko

Thomas has had his worst game of the series, anyways

Crowder is good at tie ups.

Crowder is good

I just want someone from our team to flatten someone's face with an elbow on a rebound.

Their bench has also committed 7 fouls so far to four for our bench.. The c's are doing the hack a Cav.

Another "How Isiaih Thomas got his name" story. Hate to break it to you, but it's not cute. He's actually a terrible father and degenerate gambler.

Celtics fans would cheer if a player broke their neck. Terrible fan base and they deserve whatever bad they get.

I hate that piece of shit Turner.

Boston is your annoying little brother. The refs are your dad letting your little brother get away with everything because he doesn't know any better.

The NBA would love Boston to win a couple. It shows.

Carr is right, they have more energy. If we came close to matching their effort this thing would be over

Zeller would be a perfect elf if he was 6 feet shorter.

Crowder is everywhere. He's a good player to have on the bench.

Datome wears number 70??? What a travesty to the game...

Lebron fouled by a homeless guy.

You mean the guy wearing green who's name is luigi?

Celtics do have the best on ball perimeter D I've seen all season. Respect for that at least.

I'm really impressed by Sullinger. Or rather, I'm impressed by the fact that he's an NBA player despite the fact that he has about the same body type as I do, and I go out drinking three nights a week.

I know people get away with traveling in the NBA. But Turner's "carrying" is ridiculous.

I wish we had Crowder on our team

So do the mavs

Crowder would be the perfect back up on this team

Man, Boston fleeced Dallas in that Rondo deal.

Why does everyone on Boston wear their hair like a girl. A bunch of pansie looking guys.

Crowder is just killing the Cavs

Why did Crowder just throw a flying shoulder into Lebron?

Because the refs weren’t calling anything

Now Love has tasted hitting a huge shot in the playoffs…think he wants to stay in Cleveland?

He did say that perk was the funniest guy on the team by a country mile today… a clear slight against bron. But then again, i’m not sure if love even knows what humor is… He’’s like data from star trek

Why the Celtics didn't have IT on the floor in the fourth I will never know.

Crowder looks like he should be in Star Wars with that hair.

Crowder = Deserves the "most annoying scrub of the night" award

Got the brooms on ready

The Boston fans were great, the players played about a perfect game... And it still wasn't enough. Sweep. Sweep.

The refs were the only thing keeping this game close for Boston.
