The Boston Celtics have played pretty well for most of the two game they have had against the Cleveland Cavaliers yet they find themselves in a 0-2 hole. The Celtics have played hard nose basketball in each game but the Cavs are a more talented team and have put together two wins. Jae Crowder is one of the vocal leader for the team and after the Game 2 lose, Crowder did some talking.
Crowder told Jay King of MassLive.com, he isn’t afraid of anyone on the Cavs.
Is Mozgov intimidating? Crowder laughs. "No. Nobody on their team is intimidating."

When asked about LeBron, Crowder showed a little more respect than he did in his last quote about the team as a whole not being intimidating.
Crowder on guarding Playoff LeBron: "It's great. It's the biggest challenge I think I ever took on."

I like that Crowder is speaking up for the team, I just think it’s about two game too late. Down 0-2 already, I feel his words will become message board material for the Cavs and give them more fire headed into Game 3.
