And the Cavs didn't even really start to play until the 2nd half of this meaningless game.
And despite their worst defensive showing of the year, they still would have won this game if they could have hit a few more free throws.
I think I'd rather see Boston in the 2nd round than Atlanta.

Can soomeone please explain the rationale of mike brown at the end or the 2nd qt?
Bos has the ball 4 sec difference with shot/ game clock and we foul? With no fouls to give 
this basically sealed our fate, again, there has to be some reason? perhaps they thought the person we were fouling would miss one, then we would have more time to go down and hit a 2 or a 3 
I have never seen that done before, again, there were seconds difference between game and shot clock, we play defense, they get no points, instead after that minblowing call Bos went on a 5-0 run to end the half

That was a very questionable move, I'd like to hear his explanation on that one.

kendrick perkins shoots 58% at the line, for the year and is only a career 60% shooter at the line.
mike brown was trying to steal a point, it didn't work but i don't see how this was such a horrible move. the way boston was playing offense maybe he felt like he coudl take advantage there. boston was hitting everything from the field.

as far as free throws go, i want to know what the top teams in FT% do during their practice routines that the cavs do not. do those teams truly spend more time practicing? i wish i knew that kind of information. it really boggles my mind that these guys, who are paid professionals aren't hitting them as well as the college kids (or at least it seems)

Honestelly I think the FT problem is all mental. Do we still clench home court through the playoffs if the lakers lose? Like I said early in the year the Spurs still scare me.

lakers lose (again, maybe they should fire phil jackson) and cavs still clinch top seed overall.
this is going to be a very, very long 13 days.

i know a lot of people are questioning lebron's 3 attempt with a few seconds left instead of going for the tie, but i loved it. considering the situation.
if that were a playoff game there is no doubt in my mind he takes it to the basket. but considering they have nothing left to play for in a meaningless game, i love it. it will stick that into boston's head for the future. they will be reminded of the stones lbj has in that type of situation and may look to try and hold him up before he gets to the rim.
