3/1 Cavs @ Celtics

wade boggs chicken dinner · Mar 1, 2023

F**k - at work so can't get home to tape this stuff. Hopefully it's replayed at some point.

The NBA app has a 15 minute short about Tatum/Deuce. It was a fun watch.

Light-Tower-Power · Mar 1, 2023

Cavs make me the most nervous of anyone outside of Milwaukee, if not more so. Very interested to see how they play them late in the season now.

MyDaughterLovesTomGordon · Mar 1, 2023

Would very much like to see the Cs come out swinging tonight. Tatum needs to figure out a way to not let the refs get in his head and attack the rim, even with Allen looming.

I expect him to roll in with an impressive fit and then dominate this game.

mikeot · Mar 1, 2023

C's are home now, slept in their own beds, had homecooked meals; fully expect them to cleave the Cavs. LFG!

snowmanny · Mar 1, 2023

Remember earlier this season when the Celtics were playing the Cavs down two and ran the play they ran against the Sixers the other day, only Tatum took the uptown express option. And dunked but didn’t get the blatantly obvious potential game-winning and-one.

IIRC he screamed and screamed for several minutes. And prostrated himself on the court moaning like an immature basket case. And then complained for weeks about the call. And accused the NBA of conspiring against his team.

Maybe I’m thinking of someone else and some other play….but here’s the clip:

Crush the Cavs

DeJesus Built My Hotrod · Mar 1, 2023

Tatum is gassed, Mazzulla is way over his head pursuing regular season wins and TL's career is over. Also, TL trying to make "Tax 'Em" Hauser's new nickname is not a great idea. Mostly because Sam has been taxing the Cs with his masonry of late.

Now that we have that out of the way, LFG.

Light-Tower-Power · Mar 1, 2023

I'm pretty pumped for this one. Should be playoff-like intensity.

DeJesus Built My Hotrod · Mar 1, 2023

I know its a small sample size but they are already cheesedicking the lead away!

Lose Remerswaal · Mar 1, 2023

Oh my

Light-Tower-Power · Mar 1, 2023

Do I stick with NBCSB and the fucked up camera angle or watch on ESPN and subject myself to Doris?

djbayko · Mar 1, 2023

Celtics ate their Wheaties today.

DeJesus Built My Hotrod · Mar 1, 2023

I heart Al Horford

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Mar 1, 2023

Derrick White, possession creator. I like that.

DeJesus Built My Hotrod · Mar 1, 2023

Need Hauser to be good again. Need it like oxygen.

heavyde050 · Mar 1, 2023

Yikes - not a great way to end the quarter.

Just a bit outside · Mar 1, 2023

Jesus Tatum. Hit the rim and it doesn’t cost 2 points.

Light-Tower-Power · Mar 1, 2023

I can live with a Tatum slump, I just really hope his wrist isn’t bothering him more than he’s let on since that fall in Indy.

djbayko · Mar 1, 2023

Yikes. Only an airball leads to that fast break basket. Ugh.

This is about where I am too. This is a very dangerous team that's young, and still peaking. I don't think they're ready yet for a long playoff run this year, but they could be a tough out.

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Mar 1, 2023

Shitty forced 3 airball. I love that

bigq · Mar 1, 2023

The transition bucket by Cleveland at the end of the first quarter hurt my feelings.

benhogan · Mar 1, 2023

Tatum missing shots is expected...constantly being at a disadvantage the other way has become a very bad habit

And they have already beaten the Celtics two times (I think). It kind of reminds me of those IT4 C's teams that always gave the Warriors trouble.

bankshot1 · Mar 1, 2023

Cavs are a pain in the butt. Young good and want to prove it

2 OT WINS IIRC.

Yeah, definitely in OT and like a couple of days apart.

DeJesus Built My Hotrod · Mar 1, 2023

Didn't slam with left wrist. Out for season!

benhogan · Mar 1, 2023

Is Grant injured?

djbayko · Mar 1, 2023

That last Garland vs. Hauser sequence was exactly like this...

JohnnyTheBone · Mar 1, 2023

Boiled ass. These refs are boiled ass.

Auger34 · Mar 1, 2023

Grant is out of the rotation?

bigq · Mar 1, 2023

Donovan can ball.

So can Garland

JohnnyTheBone · Mar 1, 2023

The irrepressible TIMELORD WILLIAM$!

JohnnyTheBone · Mar 1, 2023

Boiled fucking ass.

Auger34 · Mar 1, 2023

Cleveland is a scary team this year but they have the potential to be really scary the next two years. If they get a wing who can shoot and be competent on defense….watch out

chilidawg · Mar 1, 2023

Jaylen out of sorts so far.

chilidawg · Mar 1, 2023

Tatum out? He's always on the floor to close the half.

Imbricus · Mar 1, 2023

Brown loses it off his leg ... hey, that's on my Celtics bingo card tonight!

Light-Tower-Power · Mar 1, 2023

I love sports betting just as much as the next guy but the NBCSB broadcast essentially becoming one big DraftKings ad gives me the willies.

It's gross.

Imbricus · Mar 1, 2023

Geez, Al looked pretty slow reacting to Mitchell there.

I despise legalized sports betting. I love betting myself, but I don't need it blasted everywhere. And I can only imagine how many people are blowing their paychecks just to make some rich assholes richer.

RorschachsMask · Mar 1, 2023

Grant no minutes in the half. I know he’s a bad matchup against the Cavs front line, but yikes lol.

I love it too, but I sense an impending debacle around the whole industry; no proof or evidence, just a gut feeling.

benhogan · Mar 1, 2023

giving Grant 0 minutes is an odd decision, we'll need him

Reverend · Mar 1, 2023

Knicks dropping 81 on Brooklyn in the first half is an interesting data point for some perspective on that awful game the other day.
