I think we'll see Boston focus on improving the rebounding situation in game 2. Boston can't win if the Cavs grab that many rebounds. They give up too many second chance points and don't get enough of their own.
Cavs have two choices. They are a big enough team that they can just stay big and try to rebound Boston into submission. Cavs could allow Boston to get even on the boards but work on a transition game. I expect we'll see the game speed up or slow down, depending on what route the Cavs take.
Im already bored of this series. I want us to sweep to get to da bullz
Crash the boards and get those outlet passes going.There's the rub tough, you either strategize for fast breaks or boards.
Boston radio play by play guy was on Simmons' podcast yesterday and made a good point.
The Cavs are gonna dominate, might even sweep. But it's in not only the Celtics' best interest, but also the Cavs and NBA in general, for the C's to put up the strongest fight they can and get the Cavs battle tested for the rounds to come.
I fully agree. I don't really want a boring series. I mean, I'm fine with a sweep, but I hope it takes some grit to win every game. We need the practice, and this is the perfect way to get it in. This might end up being our most favorable first round matchup of all the available ones.
Saw that too. If I'm the Cavs, I'm having Moondog dump a bucket of confetti on his head over the Megatron.I posted this on Twitter, but pretty funny still... Dude wrote literally the exact opposite about Cleveland 5 years ago.
Just trolling for clicks.

Can't believe this hasn't been posted, but this is an incredibly nearsighted, obsolete view of Cleveland from an outsider who is misinformed and not paying attention. If you want to rip our city, at least do your research and get your facts right. But this just screams bitterness:
In long-suffering Cleveland, Cavaliers offer a ray of hope

CLEVELAND — They dropped confetti from the ceiling here at Quicken Loans Arena at the end of Sunday’s first-round, Game 1, 13-point Cavaliers victory over the 40-42 Boston Celtics.
Yikes.
It seemed a little over the top. A little needy.
Confetti? Really? First round? First game? Against a sub.-500 team?
