5/9: ECSF Game 2: Cavs@Celtics

[Lose Remerswaal]

Finish, please

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

I think of Eric Mobley, RIP

 

[bohous]

Tatum cant buy a bucket

 

[CreedBratton]

Maybe they need a close game for once

 

[slamminsammya]

lol jaylen

 

[Just a bit outside]

Dumb fucking foul

 

[Helmet Head]

My gosh. What a shit show the last 3 minutes.

 

[osori]

Pathetic.

 

[OnWisc]

Good end to the half.

 

[ifmanis5]

Is Joe doing a Thibs with Tatum?

Jaylen not smart.

 

[twibnotes]

Boy that’s awful by brown

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Great the first half of a quarter, awful in the second half.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Wow that’s like a 0.1 percent outcome to be tied or down going into that last possession

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Well you didn’t want to see the Tatum end of quarter iso.

 

[Just a bit outside]

I’m ready for DWhite/PP end of quarter plays.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Good end to the half.

I don't trust you - what are real C's fans saying?

 

[slamminsammya]

honestly i’d much rather see cleveland shooting threes than us giving no help around the hoop.

 

[mikeford]

Jaylen Brown is the worst dribbler in NBA history that's actually had a good career anyway.

This man handles like a shopping cart with a bad wheel.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Credit to Bickerstaff and staff -- Cleveland's approach looking for tight passes in the paint has pretty clearly taken the Celtics by surprise.

Hat tip. Figure that shit out and come out and kick their ass in the second half.

 

[Manzivino]

Not a great close to the quarter. Hope they don’t just assume the shots will fall in the second half.

 

[TrapperAB]

Sort of fitting that they ended the half tied. Neither side can figure out what the fuck it's doing.

 

[benhogan]

expect much better defense from Jrue

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Have a feeling Donovan Mitchell is going to have a strong second half. We might be in for a fun one.

 

[Ed Hillel]

expect much better defense from Jrue

Garland and Mitchell have 11 points total, to be fair.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Sort of fitting that they ended the half tied. Neither side can figure out what the fuck it's doing.

I think the Cavs know exactly what they're doing. Mitchell is facilitating and the team is getting layup after layup.

Right, seemed to be a pretty clear pattern over and over again.

 

[dhellers]

Would like to see Xfactor performance from DWhite.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

WHERE IS TATUMS SHOOTING, STEPHEN A

/Game leading 16 points

 

[Manzivino]

Scored 3 points the final 4:16 of the quarter, ouch

 

[teddykgb]

Is the audio really messed up on ESPN or is it a problem with Fubo?

Yep. Very similar to last series in the respect that they made adjustments that weren’t expected

 

[OnWisc]

I don't trust you - what are real C's fans saying?

Well you didn’t want to see the Tatum end of quarter iso.

 

[Auger34]

If Garland played for the Warriors Bob Myers would be speaking glowingly about him

 

[Caspir]

I’m interested to see them play a close game in then second half, even against a team they should spank. If they come out flat in the third, it’ll be disappointing.

 

[lars10]

There isn't a single person on ESPN's halftime desk whose opinion I care about.

I still don’t understand why Myers is there. Management guy with no personality? What are we doing here?

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Just bet the Celts giving 8.5 at +112 odds. LFG.

WHERE IS TATUMS SHOOTING, STEPHEN A

/Game leading 16 points

3-10 from the field.

 

[The Mort Report]

This is hopefully going to be one of those games mid 3Q they decide to more or less put the game away in a 5-6 minute stretch

 

[TrapperAB]

I think the Cavs know exactly what they're doing. Mitchell is facilitating and the team is getting layup after layup.

It's just odd that they struggled to do it, then did it, then sat both of them, then did it again. I agree that was the gameplan, it was just odd how it waxed and waned.

 

[tims4wins]

14-5, 7-25, 30-13, 3-11.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Just get the W. Don’t care how ugly.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I hope Tatum isn’t listening to this worthless noise and forcing shit. 10 ft is a good sign, though.

 

[The Mort Report]

There isn't a single person on ESPN's halftime desk whose opinion I care about.

Malika is the best in the business though. I'd love to see her with JJ, then steal Parker and Crawford from the 2nd TNT crew

 

[bohous]

interesting. Cavs were working the paint all first half. Open this half with two 3s

 

[JCizzle]

I'm really not getting the sense that the C's are playoff locked-in. You can't take your foot off the gas for a second. This isn't a November game in Charlotte.

 

[radsoxfan]

Such sloppy, lazy play.

Feels like a game in Mid november which doesnt help.

 

[ifmanis5]

Still not playing with playoff energy.

 

[bosockboy]

Sleepy out of the half. Disappointing.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

So much goddamn dribbling from Tatum.

 

[slamminsammya]

there hasn’t been much drive and kick and the cavs are really packing the paint
