2023-24 Playoff Series #2 | Game #1 | Cavaliers @ Celtics | May 7, 2024

Feels like the major difference in this game has been Kornet. Depressing.

 

[Pierre Pan]

Have you noticed Kornet going over the back to get rebounds???

And just pushing everyone out of the way …and never got called for a foul

Whoever comes out the west is winning it all

The problem is the offense is expecting two 6’2 guards and Levert to consistently just beat tall athletic defenders like Holiday, Brown and Tatum off the dribble all game to create looks. Only Mitchell is talented enough to be effective with this gameplan

No, what I mean is at this point I’m perfectly fine letting Garland sit some and have LeVert out there with Mitchell and Strus.

Calls have been Celtics way no doubt but we still in it. But man dg keeps proving he is just a mental midget. If he can just do a simple crossover and take the jumper the game would be so much easier for him but he wants to be the guy so bad and be flashy and is affecting his game his mental brain and is just the same story every time at this point we are in that stage that we hope for different results but the same story keeps happening. We need to move on from him if don stays

I cooled off him at times this year. Kinda feel silly for it.

There's no question, he's a great player.

That's nothing, I said he wasn't a winner (or some such thing) during the first half of Game 7 against the Magic.

Guess I am a dumbass after all.

I bought property early on Okoro Island but he‘s had a habit this year of following up a good 3pt shooting first half with a poor second half.

But I don’t care. The only way he’s going to learn to make big shots in the second half is to take them. If they’re going to leave him open then just keep shooting it.

 

[The Wizard of Moz]

We spent the offseason fixing our offense

Niang has been so bad he’s out of the rotation and Strus is reliable for a good 1 of every 4 shots

What the fuck

Levert isn’t really putting any pressure on the defense either. He’s trying to beat Tatum one on one and settling for contested contorted mid range jumpers

Yep. Doesn't matter if he misses. Him missing hurts less than Garland missing. Even though they're the same points.

SGA looked like my sons diaper this morning

 

[Tlyons]

Murray should have been suspended. Twice he threw things on the court. Once behind the ref with a towel, and then the heating pad on to a live court. Somebody could have gotten hurt had they slipped or rolled their ankle on it.

And dg hits a jumper once every other qtr if don can get some help from dg this team would be so much better I don’t blame strus I blame garland

That didn't exactly work.
