C's believing in themselves, and I am too.
Lebron is not himself. Not sure what's going on.
Now only a 3 pt lead. But even if we lose it, as long as it close, we have a chance.

If you're a free agent watching this I have no idea how you don't want to go to Boston. They're pushing the Cavs very hard on their own court without Fultz, Zizic, or IT. And Jaylen is going to get better. And Rozier is getting better. And Smart isn't getting worse.
If you're a free agent you have got to see how we have a top 5 coach and how so many players have grown and made money here. KO. Gerald Green, Jerebko. Those guys have done well under Stevens

We're getting punched in the mouth this quarter. It's time to be the aggressors again and take it to them.

The Cavs are pumped right now because they know they are winning even though the Celts are playing very good basketball.

The Cavs are seeing they can beat the Celts but they'll have to pay the price. We aren't the Raptors

I'm proud of the guys. A few makes instead of misses on open 3's and it's a different story.
Marcus came back to earth. He's got all the heart in the world, but just doesn't have the talent to be a reliable offensive player. Pretty much the same for Crowder.
I have a pretty good feeling about Game 5 though - which is more than I ever expected.

Supposedly Smart is some great defensive player but when you go 1 for 9.....I get that IT gives up a lot defensively but again....in the NBA offense wins games. Kyrie Irving made the plays tonight. IT makes plays.
I'll take IT and his effort defense over Smart every day until Smart starts hitting some shots consistently

This is not a "we're better without IT" statement, but I much prefer the STYLE of offense we played tonight to the style we usually play with IT. I don't think there's any reason we can't play this style WITH IT either.

I was not expecting a "w" tonight, but games [HASH]1 and [HASH]4 were win-able. CLE had no bench tonight. Between Smart and Bradley, lack of shooting cost the game.

I was quite pleased when we had that lead going into halftime, but you could feel the game changing and slipping by us as the Cavs really ramped it up in the 2nd half. Kyrie showed us what a good offensive talent can do. Bradley, for all we talk about his defense, could do nothing to slow him down. Still, we competed and I think we'll have some confidence going home to hopefully steal another game.
