What a disgusting display of defensive effort. Let's not do that again.

Celtics in 5.

[tfribs45]

Show some Celtics pride! Where's the heart/passion to win banner 18?
I miss Mahhhhhhhcus Smahhhhht's effort / will to win.... maybe he can travel with the team and give them a Rick Flair style speech LMAO,

All kidding aside, we don't want to be the Buffalo Bills of Basketball, lets get it done and fight for every loose ball. Hard to admit it, but the Cavs simply wanted it more in game 2. Wake up C's

[BK_2020]

At least there's no long wait until the next game.

After an AoS Game 2, this should be a guaranteed win... But if we get punked again by a 6' 3" spider, then I blame retiree Blake Griffin.

[Parliament10]

We better Win the next 3.
We need to stop getting complacent.

Sometimes you gotta Bench these Starters, when they stop going for blood.
Put Pritchard and the Stay Ready Group in there, for stints.

Spider is not even 6-3.

He's closer to 6-1.

[Tyakack]

My guess is we win the next one and lose game 4, close it out in 6. I hope they can do a repeat of what they did with the heat though.

A Game 7 will be epic.

[Memokerobi]

Ok, I feel better now. Still don't like what they did but Cs in 5

[Fierce1]

This is a must win game for the Cs IMO.

If Cs lose this game, they might return to Boston down 1-3.

[RickyDizzle]

Can't understate the importance of this game. Win convincingly and it's back to "well this team is the powerhouse we thought and just had a mental lapse/bad shooting night like last series," lose and fall behind 2-1 and I'm not sure this team has the mental strength to overcome the narrative and right the ship.

Realistically if they win just 1 of 2 in Cleveland, they'd still be favored to win the series, but losing the next game puts an absurd amount of pressure on this team...

I try to remind myself the 2008 team got taken to 7 games on both rounds 1 and 2, so we're sort of doing better than that team, but it doesn't feel like it.

I tell myself this every time we lose a game. It's all just cope though. Yeah that 08 team lost alot in the first couple of rounds, but they at least defended homecourt. You could at least trust them to do that. They lost like once all playoffs on their home floor if im not mistaken.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

Effort in defense, movement and quick decisions on offense please.

He’s a dumbass, but the eye test back up those stats. He’s getting clamped by Strus and Thompson

Your eye test says Tatum tried to score on Strus 70 times in 2 games?

[Scarletfire81]

I know this is going to sound stupid but JT just looks bored to me. They haven’t really played with everything on the line yet, that’s when we’ll see the real JT show up or at least show much more of a fight. To me he needs some adversity in order to shine, that’s just how he’s built.

But in this case he is right
Wrote about it during the game
It seems this um Strus is really bothering JT. He tries too much to score on him from the 3
Get him down low and bury him

Same thing like Martin and Highsmith from MIA
They rough him up and he doesn't get the calls, gets frustrated and does stupid things
