The usual tripe was on full display after the game. See Lebron James put in a "super-human" effort. See the Cavs "clamp down" defensively on the Celtics. See Cleveland "rise to the occasion" -- again. See them overcome the loss of Kevin Love in "heroic fashion". Blah, blah, blah, in politically correct speech.
All of which can be summed up in one word.
Horsepuckey.
The Cavaliers didn't "win" this game, the Celtics blew it. Big time.
Bad shooting? They couldn't throw it in the ocean. For such a sharp-shooting team all year, either they went stone cold, temporarily blind, or simply choked.
How else to explain brick, after brick, after brick? That were wide-open shots?
What did they shoot? Four for forty-some from the 3-point line? That's not going to get it done. Ever.
Hey, when an NBA team can't even score 80 points on their home court, they're SUPPOSED to lose.
So OK, congrats to the Cavaliers on making it back to the NBA Finals, and James continuing his streak regarding same.
But anybody that says Cleveland deserved to win this game is vastly mistaken. Boston absolutely choked it away. They deserved to lose -- and did -- in spectacularly bad fashion.
Period.
And they know it too.
