May 11, 20187 yr All the talk is about LeBron. If the C’s (who have plenty of individual defensive talent) can get guys like JR, Love, Korver, etc off their game then they should win. I don’t think Bron can single handedly get past these Celtics. Edited May 11, 20187 yr by Goo Punch

Boston has the fifth youngest. Now, that's not to say that there's no way Cleveland is going to win and a younger team = better team, but I'd like to think that Boston just might be a bit more athletic now than Cleveland is. A Tatum/Horford PnR against Love/Korver would make them look like they were on skates.

Korver is going to have a ton of trouble especially with the wings from Boston.

The guy has a career average of like 28/7/7. I feel like anyone else in the playoffs goes for 35/13/10 and they're gods among men, but LeBron does it and we just expect it at this point.
May 13, 20187 yr Not a huge deal but he was getting some run before injuring his shoulder...... Reminder that Boston is up against the limit for testing their limits of their depth.

They were probably the oldest before i presume.
May 13, 20187 yr Cavs -1.5 in game 1. Philly was -5 in their game 1 @ Boston. Philly got a lot more respect. Celtics still gettin none, despite still being undefeated at home.
May 13, 20187 yr Awesome...... JVG told that passive aggressive bitch Mark Jackson to "Stop!" when talking about Rodney Hood. Greatness....
May 13, 20187 yr Celtics cooling off so the Cavs just need to try and hang around, but Big Al leading the break for a layup..... Great stuff to watch.
May 13, 20187 yr Jaylon Brown at both ends...... Swats Love's layup attempt like he was his Daddy and nails a J on the other end.
May 13, 20187 yr Celtics just destroying Cleveland in every facet of the game...... This could be over at half.
May 13, 20187 yr Loving the defensive strategy. Make the 4 tops beat you. Whomever defends LBJ gets no help. LBJ's 40-50 pts will not be enough.
May 13, 20187 yr Cavs are 0-12 from 3 in the first half. JR Smith is -29. Lebron and Love are 6-17 from the field. George Hill has 0 points (0-1 from field) and 1 PF and no other stats in 16 minutes!!! It's about as bad a half as they can play one would think.

Either Cleveland has no limits to the darth of execution on offense, or Boston has no limit to the ability to negate the offensive weapons of the opposing teams...
May 13, 20187 yr Damn, Boston really is firing on all cylinders....they might be able to beat GS.....
May 13, 20187 yr 5 minutes ago, Machinator said: Cavs quietly cut the lead in half. Just as quietly, back up over 20..... It's the NBA, everyone makes a run, the Celtics simply need to continue to respond.... Cavs probably have one more serious run in them. If they can't get to single digits under 5 minutes, then probably best to concede and save your legs. Edited May 13, 20187 yr by Patrick Bateman
May 13, 20187 yr Doesn't feel like a playoff game. I guess that's to be expected when it's complete domination by one team.
May 13, 20187 yr Looks like with 7 minutes and a 25+ lead, the Cavs have closed up shop and run up the white flag..... Not exactly the Mother's Day Massacre, but fucking close enough..... Very impressed by Boston.

May 13, 20187 yr Boston will take the East for years to come if kept together. How things change year to year; remember the Cavs smashed Boston last year?

I'm not sure if this was just as bad a game the Cavs can play, or maybe they really aren't that good at all, and Toronto is just THAT bad against them.

What was the cause of Bron Bron's turnovers? Was he just throwing away passes? Or was he trying to back them down and the Cs slapping away the ball?
May 13, 20187 yr It’s almost like lebron didn’t care today and likes getting blown out so he can win the series in 7 and be the hero.

May 14, 20187 yr came across my twitter feed how impressed the reporters were with his total game recall.
