    so you’re down 1 and you waste the whole clock for a fadeaway shot. Celtics had 2 timeouts…

  2. skrunkarus

    Dumbest last possession possible for the Celtics

  3. GenericDarkFriend

    Tatum with the pushoff and kick out, so glad they made the right call

  4. TheRedMiko

    Glad that wasn’t called a foul because that would have been such a shit call if it stood.

  5. mastacheef87

    fair play Cleveland, what an insane quarter by Wade

  6. Can see a pattern how to beat the Celtics: role players shooting like crazy and Celtics CTE

  7. I knew that Celtics edit was too clean this is punishment

  8. Love to win games because of miracle role player performances

  9. Dean Wade doing his best Max Strus impersonation

  10. OutsideTheServiceBox

    I’ll never understand why in the world teams do this thing where you’re down 1 but you milk the clock all the way down to the end. Especially with two timeouts? Go up in a normal cadence, get a shot up with 4 seconds left, and you still have time to foul, two free throws, get a timeout, advance the ball, shoot a 3 for the tie. 

    That kind of mentality always just makes me feel like the team down 1 kind of can’t wait to go home, regardless of result.

  11. Jbuckeye31

    I apologize Dean Wade I wasn’t familiar with your game.

  12. lovemesomescience

    For your MVP consideration, Dean fuckin Wade

  13. Low_Beyond8134

    Imagine if the Cavs didn’t have a challenge

  14. What a week for Cleveland

    Lose in double overtime to Chicago

    Lose at home to a Knicks team missing everybody

    Beat Boston in stunning fashion

  15. Asphaltjungle33

    SOMEONE CHECK ON BILL SIMMONS. SOMEONE BETTER LET EM KNOW

  16. Losing to the knicks then winning this game is peak don’t overreact to single games

  17. TheSmokedSalmon420

    Can we just play this hard against the Knicks please?

  18. garenoncrack

    THE GAME WHERE DRIPPY DEAN BECAME PRIME STEPH IN THE FOURTH SHEESH.

  19. HungLuke

    So white wings on the Cavs are just the clutchest players in the league now huh

  20. How do the Cavs look so soft on Sunday and so heroic tonight?

  21. hoopbag33

    End game Tatum strikes again. Don’t know why Maz refuses to coach on the last possession.

  22. nobraininmyoxygen

    For the love of God JB… Give Wade some of Niang’s minutes. The sad part is he only played a huge chunk of the 4th because of the injuries.

  23. purplenyellowrose909

    Someone please alert Draymond that that is how you guard Jaylen Brown

  24. Chunky5u

    That dumb shit Tatum and Brown do at the end of tights games is STILL the achilles heel of this team. Unbelievable that they’re still chasing buzzer beaters at this stage of their careers.

  25. GokutheAnteater

    Celtics choking big leads and losing games feeds families

  26. Dean “Captain America” Wade is my new Hero. That was another 4th quarter for the ages, theres plenty of fight on this team and they really needed a win like this after losing to the Knicks.
    Legendary stuff from Wade really, he might be our most important factor for the playoffs really, no one else on the Cavs is a tall 3nD player.

    Let em Know

  27. kjorav17

    Dean Wade statue being built tomorrow at the corner of Carnegie and Huron outside the Q

  28. aroach1995

    Someone run the stat: Cavaliers record when Dean Wade gets over 20 minutes.

  29. Slow-Jelly-2854

    Letting Tatum iso still is the best defensive strategy there is. You gotta love it

  30. wumboinator

    This is only the second NBA I’ve been to in my life and I got to see the Kelce brothers, Joey GOAT Chestnut, AND the best D Wade in the league’s history
