5/7: ECSF Game 1: Cavs@Celtics

[HowBoutDemSox]

LUKE

 

[Spelunker]

dammit. But that was DISRESPECTFUL

 

[Auger34]

Kornet dunk contest 2025?

 

[The Mort Report]

Damn Luke too bad

 

[Ed Hillel]

We'd win every game by 50 this series if Zinger was healthy. We are just a nightmare matchup for the Cavs.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Luke Kornet is a significantly better NBA player than he was a college player

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Mobley has pretty poor instincts

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Thsi is another game they probably lose last year. The depth is just that much better (with mostly the same players!).

 

[slamminsammya]

kornet guys

 

[Auger34]

Let White cook

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Tatum will play well and make this one look easy

 

[timelysarcasm]

Mitchell is really the only guy on the Cavs with any sort of bag.

 

[Auger34]

Nice and in control by JT. Hopefully that opens up the basket for him

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Luke Kornet is a significantly better NBA player than he was a college player

So is Jaylen Brown

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Luke getting flowers. Love it.

 

[bosockboy]

JT asleep.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

+16 on the boards.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Speaking of that game. Where is the guy that jacked up a million 3s and killed them in the 4th?

Think his name is Wade. I'd have him in there if I were coach!

 

[Ale Xander]

Luke Kornet is a significantly better NBA player than he was a college player

So is Derrick White

 

[The Mort Report]

oooh Luke got the "Yooooouk" treatment

 

[Auger34]

I’d like to play Tillman the rest of this game. Give Al some rest

 

[Spelunker]

Weirdest thing about this game is the amount of balls that have gone off PP's hands.

 

[bosockboy]

Think his name is Wade. I'd have him in there if I were coach!

Injured.

 

[slamminsammya]

tatum posting up was so awesome early in the season i think with the new whistle he’s suddenly real uncomfortable operating back to the basket

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

StrusFail!

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Think his name is Wade. I'd have him in there if I were coach!

He used his entire remaining lifeforce in that game and is now gone

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Think his name is Wade. I'd have him in there if I were coach!

He hasn't played since the game after The Incident

 

[tims4wins]

I love this team but these east playoffs are going to be boring AF. Maybe the Knicks will take 1-2 games. Maybe.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Mitchell with 33 points, Cavs down by 25. That is what this series will be if the Celtics play as they're capable.

 

[OnWisc]

Tatum should just pass it from here on and try for the the ugliest triple double ever.

 

[Helmet Head]

Ok. Let’s get the starters out

 

[Ale Xander]

I love this team but these east playoffs are going to be boring AF.

Hopefully

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Celtics do not believe Garland can guard anyone on their roster one on one. Including CJM

 

[Ale Xander]

Tatum still in why?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Celtics do not believe Garland can guard anyone on their roster one on one. Including CJM

There is zero evidence that he has that capability.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Deep bench time.

 

[Ale Xander]

DIE CREST DIE

 

[Ed Hillel]

I get Minnesota is good, but what other team has its best player shoot like shit, is missing an all-star caliber starter, and still wins by 25?

Excited to see the Celtics shut everyone up.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

There is zero evidence that he has that capability.

Agreed. And if they need to, I’m sure that they will absolutely target him too.

 

[slamminsammya]

geno

 

[RG33]

Entitled Celtics fan here — switched to Red Sox game for awhile to see something competitive.

 

[benhogan]

hey a Max Strus sighting

 

[Ed Hillel]

Celtics do not believe Garland can guard anyone on their roster one on one. Including CJM

So what you're saying is Garland helps guide them to the basket?

 

[Ale Xander]

this is much better than competitiveness

 

[Van Everyman]

this is much better than competitiveness

As a Boston sports fan, I’ve had enough competitiveness for six lifetimes.

 

[dhellers]

I love this team but these east playoffs are going to be boring AF. Maybe the Knicks will take 1-2 games. Maybe.

Sounds fun to me.

 

[Ed Hillel]

It's nice to see Boston kick the shit out of teams and reduce stress for these alternating playoff nights.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Cavs opened 5-10 from three, then went 6-30.

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

Speaking of that game. Where is the guy that jacked up a million 3s and killed them in the 4th?

He has sprained knee. Might be back this series. https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2024/05/will-cavs-dean-wade-return-during-second-round-of-playoffs.html

 

[TripleOT]

All Boston did tonight was hold serve, but this was a butt kicking. The Cavs have had an extremely difficult time scoring, except for Mirchell, with 33 points on 25 shots.

The non Mitchell Cavs have 56 points on 61 shots.
