5/9: ECSF Game 2: Cavs@Celtics

[Caspir]

Don’t worry, Al will just shoot threes with 15 on the clock. Great offense.

 

[ObstructedView]

Embarrassing effort

 

[radsoxfan]

LOL these refs. Again.

Mobley dragged his pivot foot so badly in front of everyone.

 

[ragnarok725]

The difference is make or miss the last 5 minutes.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Getting our asses kicked

 

[BigSoxFan]

This is a loser performance so far. Just absolute garbage effort.

 

[Spelunker]

Really don't love Al this series.

 

[bosockboy]

Bickerstaff is just smoking Mazzulla.

 

[JCizzle]

Yuck. Just a lot of yuck. They put together these brief spurts and just chuck up awful threes.

 

[mikeford]

Refuse to play tight defense and just jacking up threes instead of attacking when they're already in the bonus

Bad basketball.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Guess the c’s can’t win this series just by showing up?

 

[Auger34]

There has been some ass awful defense by the Celtics on the last few possessions. People just lost and no one defending the ball

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The beleaguered Joe Mazzulla calls timeout.

 

[benhogan]

have they pressured the ball once on D?

picking up D under the 3pt line is pathetic

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Al bricks, a string of bad D, and a missed travel on Mobley. Cool run

 

[ragnarok725]

This place is just tissue paper in the playoffs.

 

[OnWisc]

Yuck. Just a lot of yuck. They put together these brief spurts and just chuck up awful threes.

It’s like they prove to themselves that they can come back, and then just immediately go right back to unfocused sloppy play.

 

[lars10]

Really don't love Al this series.

Seemed like Kornet was pretty good in game one.. why not try something different in the paint? And maybe also not play Hauser, PP and Kornet all at the same time.

 

[ifmanis5]

Pretty rare to see JB and DW at -16.

 

[slamminsammya]

idk i thought all those threes were good looks yall are just reacting cuz they missed

 

[JCizzle]

The beleaguered Joe Mazzulla calls timeout.

Not a fan of the person, but Ime would have been so into their heads at this point...

 

[riboflav]

it’s a lot tougher to win in Cleveland than it is in Miami

 

[bosockboy]

I’d let Hauser get some looks. They need some 3’s to fall.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Rebounds are 30-21, Cavs

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Bickerstaff is just smoking Mazzulla.

Bickerstaff is having a very good game so far

 

[tims4wins]

Gave them their mulligan last series. This is inexcusable

 

[PedroKsBambino]

WTF is going on here boys? Just freed up to watch.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Refuse to play tight defense and just jacking up threes instead of attacking when they're already in the bonus

Bad basketball.

I mean, taking very open threes is good ball. It’s not like Kornet is shooting.

No idea what’s going on with the D.

 

[lars10]

This place is just tissue paper in the playoffs.

Yeah.. people get crazy when the team is down by any amount.

 

[LynnRice75]

We score every time we go to the basket.
Why keep chucking up threes?

 

[JCizzle]

idk i thought all those threes were good looks yall are just reacting cuz they missed

I dunno, a couple of the DW ones seem a bit rushed and it's not like he's got the touch tonight. I could do with a bit more movement for a better shot. Al taking shots is what it is if they're OK with it.

 

[Strike4]

It’s like they prove to themselves that they can come back, and then just immediately go right back to unfocused sloppy play.

Consistent effort would definitely be nice... Cavs have it right now.

 

[benhogan]

White came into this game smoking hot, you'd think they'd find him early & often...

 

[lars10]

Bickerstaff is having a very good game so far

He is shooting lights out.

 

[slamminsammya]

we had back to back possessions with tatum playing way too off garland for no reason and he drained both threes

 

[mikeford]

Every single possession should be one of Jaylen or Jayson attacking the rim while they're in the bonus. Make them send you to the line 100 times, who cares

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

idk i thought all those threes were good looks yall are just reacting cuz they missed

I agree for the most part. I would rather see them keep taking them than these hard, contested two pointers.

 

[lars10]

White came into this game smoking hot, you'd think they'd find him early & often...

He's missed basically every shot he's taken tonight.

 

[8slim]

Most 3s on both sides are barely contested.

 

[slamminsammya]

I dunno, a couple of the DW ones seem a bit rushed and it's not like he's got the touch tonight. I could do with a bit more movement for a better shot. Al taking shots is what it is if they're OK with it.

those are his shots

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He is shooting lights out.

Right, there's been no strategy at all

 

[radsoxfan]

Losing game 2 against Miami made more sense given their historic shooting night. The Cavs are 7-16, nothing crazy.

We just arent trying to do anything.

 

[Auger34]

The difference is make or miss the last 5 minutes.

The Celtics have got good looks for sure. The defense has been horrid

 

[slamminsammya]

cleveland is playing well and playing hard

 

[Ale Xander]

Embarrassing defense

 

[slamminsammya]

finish that one luke

 

[TrapperAB]

Welp, now they can't miss.

 

[Ale Xander]

Keep fouling, Evan

 

[Spelunker]

What is with us not being able to hit bunnies after a whistle?

Or before, for that matter.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The Cavs are really putting it upon the hapless C's here, late.
