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

Garland’s 3-10 and constantly out of position on defense. Sometimes you just need to try something different and see what happens

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

To me it’s the White Garland matchup

White has 4 more points on 4 less shots

Pretty big discrepancy

What's frustrating is that the Celtics aren't playing well themselves.

True. 42.9% and 27.3%.

Biggest difference is 11/11 FTs to 3/5 FTs. That's 8 of the 10 point lead right there.

SGA and the Gen Z youngsters call their fashion "drip." Looks like something dripped out of the diaper?

He’s not even trying on defense when they force a switch on him he’s tagging the offensive guy and running away to another man as fast as he can

I thought we might be able to catch the Celtics on autopilot in the first quarter because they lacked urgency and appeared lethargic. We, on the other hand, played some playoff basketball. Then the whistles started blowing. At first it was on both sides of the court, but then the Cabs just looked confused and they stopped hitting shots.

It's within ten. I think it's clear that the Celts got a healthy dose of home cooking and 1st seed respect. However, it's on the Cavs to adjust. Nobody is looking out for the Cavaliers in a series against the Celtics.

Celtics in 3

Mitchell has to give that to Mobley with Holday on him

 

[Futuredome]

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

Poppycock. This post represents your problem. You want Garland to bail out a nonexistent offensive scheme.

I can hear Jim Chones right now....."the Cavs are down 10 we got em right where we want em".

Trap white. this isn't rock science

Too many good ball handlers out there for the Celtics right now. It would just go to Holiday.

Boston has 40% 3pt shooters falling off the bench. Its crazy
