How’s that not a foul on Strus on that Brown layup?

Refs get frozen sometimes. They just watch the game like us.

The shot making has been insane on both sides. Cavs just blinked first.

We forced 4 bad shots in a row with plenty of time left on the shot clock.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

That Levert missed open three that would have cut it to 6 plus the Mitchell well contested three right after missing badly was probably the end of the Cavs chances.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

When Boston moves the ball and guys move without the ball, they are unstoppable. The iso stuff is so awful to watch.

It doesn't flow well at all.
They need consistency.

Cavs just need a few Celtics miscues to tighten the game.

Horford can't stay in front of anyone. Cavs should keep exploiting that.

It's amazing how many of Shaq's euphemisms RJ uses. The others, BBQ chicken.

Jrue was the best player today. Celtics don't win this game with smart instead of jrue. The stats might not be amazing, but he had a stellar game
