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

[Kizzle]

Were the only team giving up this many points in regulation in the playoffs


This same Celtics team is gonna face the Knicks and look like bitche s

Mobley scoring when the game is over is infuriating

 

[Kizzle]

Good luck getting fans in the arena for game 3

Levert is gutless. Just got pushed off and dropped off by Pritchard and didn’t even blink let alone try to score on the other end. He’s literally the worst type of player to have

 

[PeonHaiters]

Can't believe any reasonable person can watch this game and think the problem is JBB

Right lol. In a league where everyone went to tall athletic dudes who can switch 1 through five - we went to 0 sfs with a bunch of 6’4 and shorter guards

Won’t lose sleep if JBB is fired but let’s not pretend it will change anything with the roster

 

[amil99]

He’s totally taken the floater out of his game

He also will not shoot a layup if someone is by him

He’s turned into a worthless passive bum

Exactly

 

[eChameleon]

Okay, yup, another game we didn't hit 100.

 

[jhernjh]

Even the Bostons non-rotation guys know how to create offense, unlike the JBs team

 

[ZooCrewDude]

We just look very talentless offensively.

You have to do eerything you can to move Garland. I know the absolute Garland diehards will hold till the bitter end. Hopefully Altman isn't one of them.

It’s sad, but the way this is going he’s going to look like an Andrew Wiggins-esque “max” contract.

 

[AustinCarr]

Welp. That could have gone better.

 

[1290joe]

This is what it must of felt like when we were killing teams in the playoff in the lebron years. I’m having empathy for the raptors now lol. Sucks knowing you have no chance

 

[amil99]

JBB literally didn’t unfold his arms this entire game. I haven’t even seen him tell. What a worthless coach

 

[Otsego Mar]

I blame this loss on Manzardo.

 

[-Akronite-]

Our championship will be winning one game and not being swept. This is what I expected, Celtics are going to win the title.

Then may God be with Anthony Edwards.

As for Garland, I guess the downside to trading him regardless is that his value is bottoming out from an odd year with a jaw injury. He’s looked much better the previous two seasons and would likely look better next year. But as someone that really wanted to see him turn the corner… I won’t be too hurt.

When there’s very little threat to score inside the paint , it makes it pretty difficult to score shooting from the outside. The Cavs had 4 players virtually all game beyond the arc; you’d think they were all deadeyes
