We win tonight. You read it here first.
Win tonight and I think they get the series. Lose and I think it will be the Cavs
I think they must have the first quarter lead or be within 3. The starts are hurting them.
Nobody is saying anything about guarantees, just what is most likely.Win tonight and I think they get the series. Lose and I think it will be the Cavs
I think they must have the first quarter lead or be within 3. The starts are hurting them.
win tonight and we live to fight another day. still no guarantee we win game 7. lose tonight and we lose game 6. series over.
Season on the line tonight.
Could be great or it could be a major disappointment. (No matter how much we talk about house money)
That Game 5 six years ago remains one of my favorite Celts memories.
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but the season is over.
Charles Barkley predicted that we would win in seven:

Sure, he tries to walk it back a bit by saying that whoever wins tonight will win the series, but Sir Charles is clearly picking us.
It was good while it lasted.

We will Elevate tonight and end our two game losing streak

Boy, that Korver interview was a tear-jerker, huh?
I’ve always liked Korver. Seems like a good guy. Got to watch him play for Creighton several times in St. Louis at the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.

Baynes!!!
Brad is just too stubborn to stop that switching crap. We can't just scramble on switches like that. So dumb.Be patient. They won’t keep hitting 30 footers.
Brad is just too stubborn to stop that switching crap. We can't just scramble on switches like that. So dumb.
Maybe someone wants to defend Love...maybe.. They got caught on the rotation when they switched on Rozier I think
Those 3's for the Cavs aren't going to go down all game.They are doing everything they can on defense, but leaving the 3-point line exposed. Not good and not like them.
Brad is just too stubborn to stop that switching crap. We can't just scramble on switches like that. So dumb.
The one possession we didn't switch, we gave Lebron a wide open 3
Incredulous Cavs (after a call) -- do they practice the look?
Why are the acting like Love shooting from 3 feet behind the arc is super deadly? He's not StephPretty good so far.
I get up at 5 for work. Hope I make it to the end.

I just have a feeling Smart is going to have a huge game tonight. He'll redeem himself.He will be motivated to show he is a top defender.

I'm more okay with giving up Lebron threes than Love, Korver, Smith, etc. threes off of Lebron passes when we're scrambling to get Rozier back to cover the open man.
I get up at 5 for work. Hope I make it to the end.
Tatum looking confident tonight!
Loving aggressive Al down there on the post.
I’m glad we started Baynes. Making a huge difference on the glass
I would love a Marcus Curry game.
They didn't mention but LeBron is leading the playoffs in crying like a baby and it's not close.
HEY LEBRON PLEASE STAY IN OUR END CRYING AFTER EVERY CAVS MISS> PLEASE!
I WANT THE 5 on 4 ALL NITE!
The stretch with Lebron about to sit... we HAVE to take advantage of that!

Well, maybe Cousins, but that's not exactly good company

yup need a 10-0 run while he is out.

HOLY FREAKING TATUM!
That's what Tatum's potential is defensively with that elite length. Put some bulk on him and he'll be as impressively defensively as he is offensively.

yeah his length is sometimes overlooked.
JR Smith is such a phoney. Thinks he’s a ball handler.
Excellent start!!! Don't let up!!!!!!!!
Its absolutely perplexing how different of a team this Celtics squad looks in the garden versus on the road

Nance should be kicked out
Kick nance
Well I wouldn't say that Baynes changed everything, but starting him was a big impact on the 1st quarter. Great def, we didn't get bullied as much by TT right from the start.
We look great so far.
hope that drama dont take us out our gameruins our flow
smh
So they're saying Morris should get a technical because Nance is mentally weak.the Celtics hater logic
hope that drama dont take us out our gameMy concern too. Things were going so well...

I'm still trying to figure out what Mark Jackson adds to these broadcasts.

CAVS PUSH A GUY and they shoot a free throw!!!lol crazy
TERRIBLE. That was 4 points given to the Cavs.6 now
GD guys... Stop giving up offensive boards leading to second chance points.
Call a freaking timeout and settle these guys down, Brad! Don't just give up this double digit lead.
I was scared that the foul would make us lose our momentum.only team it could hurt was the C's by firing up the Cavs. love the competitive fire but Morris will never be confused with a rocket scientist
It was true
Who's supposed to be covering Clarkson?!
Don’t like this: could be a momentum breaker.
Why is Smart taking 3s? He is shoot 20%Because he’s a moron on offence. Simple as that
Marcus Smart is cheating off of his man way too far right now. He's given up multiple open threes.
17 point lead...BLOWN by Morris.
tone of the game has certainly changed since the Cavs got rewarded for Nance's flagrant with a free throw.
CAVS were about to fold

He's right in the thick of the 12-3 run they're on since Morris needed to be a fake tough guy.
17 point lead...BLOWN by Morris.
It's true Morris had an unnecessary taunt, but it's Nance's reaction that ended up working out for the Cavs. If he doesn't shove Morris, that probably would've just been a play on.

Baynes don't have to rush it
We dodged a bullet there Korver was wide open
Did smart purposely bank that shot off the glass? That was far and it went in
Great job Smart.
Can you just once call one of the freaking blatant moving screens on Thompson, refs??
Crazy shot from smart but it went in
You let James take tough fadeway midrange jumpers all night long.I’m happy with those as well if that’s what they can come up with
GET IT TO 17 at half
after half we push it to 25 and finish them
WEAR LEBRON DOWN
Yeah, they’re only worth 2 points, lol.You let James take tough fadeway midrange jumpers all night long.I’m happy with those as well if that’s what they can come up with
When we go big with Smart at pg...they don't have an answer.
Smart really needs to realise that the mid-range and inside is where he should shoot from. He’s like 235lbs, quick and has a good free throw stroke. No more threesevery draft analyst compared him to d wade as his nba comparison. Sad that it never happened

LEBRON WILL NOT MISS AT RIM PEOPLE!!!!!!!or hack a lebron

If we lose this game, it's on Morris for being a Bonehead....Completely gave the Cavs energy.This is a ridiculous take. Did I miss something, or did Morris push Morris and make Rozier push Nance?? Is that what happened?

LeBron is tired ..run run run
We've missed so many layups and wide open 3's. We're getting what we want but shooting just 38%. If we lose we only have ourselves to blame.

Morris isn't to blame. That's just incredibly wrong

Hope you're right, but I don't see what you see.
I don't like Jaylen out there with 3 and having to guard Lebron. Just pull him out the last minute.

Stop yelling at your brother.
If we lose this game, it's on Morris for being a Bonehead....Completely gave the Cavs energy.Sure, for a bit, but C’s bounced back and held the lead so I don’t see how you can blame Morris if they lose. C’mon man.
Rozier is going to have to step up and score in the 2nd half.
LeBron is tired ..run run run
Hope you're right, but I don't see what you see.
He is a great player but he has to pace himself....he does not have the legs of Brown, Tatum, Smart, or Rozier....run run run runnnnnnnnn....
So Lebron backed his guy down, stopped about 13 feet from the basket, and DIDN'T travel when he ended up right next to the rim? ::) ::) ::)
Rozier is going to have to step up and score in the 2nd half.
No. No. No. The moment these guys start playing hero ball we start to foul up. Just gotta keep doing what we are doing. Strong D, get out on transition and play inside out. Just keep doing what we're doing.

It's funny that the Cs have a rep for being "goons" when each of the past 2 years we've had guys shove our players in the back during stoppages in play

I don't know why Lebron doesn't always tuck the ball under his arm like a football and run the court while stiff arming guys with his off hand. He doesn't get for these thing anyway. Why bother dribbling at all.
We're shooting 38%. That's why we are not up more, not Morris' scuffle.

Take out Brown and Rozier's shooting and it's like 50%
Just joining the game now. So far so great!killing them from 3, Morris scuffle with Nance lost us some momentum, we're shooting better from 3 than 2 and getting a lot of steals 1st q
Tps for cliff notes versions of the game. Woooo woooo! ;D
It's funny that the Cs have a rep for being "goons" when each of the past 2 years we've had guys shove our players in the back during stoppages in play
I don’t consider our players goon, they are just tough as nails.
Terry is killing us
he's playing like george costanzaTerry is killing us
He is stinking it up!
i'm so much more stressed when the celtics are good rather than when they're poop
So last time it was can't make a layup, today it's going to be can't dribble the ball?
This cannot be the game that James leads a big comeback
Come on Boston
Smith cannot guard Tatum at all
Lebron really huffing a lot coming back down.
Lebron really huffing a lot coming back down.
C's basically have to be tackled going to the hoop before the refs will call a foul on Cleveland. p---ing me off
Nice. Almost smashed the TV when ball got tipped over JB on the FT board.
Lebron really huffing a lot coming back down.I agree with all the comments about trying to wear down James. This is his one weakness as he gets older. He can’t be all things to the Cavs on O and D and playing PG.
This cannot be the game that James leads a big comeback
Come on Boston
i know i know. we must step on gas and finish this game
Gotta maintain a nice lead going into the 4th
Lebron actually looks exhausted, which is good. We're actually making him work for everything unlike the last two games.
LeBron is expending a lot of energy already. He might not have much left in the tank by the 4th.
Lebron really huffing a lot coming back down.
Yep, doing lots of resting on D and many times not even running back.
Tatum on FIRE
Cripes you guys, I just watched this thread and saw screams about rozier and butterfingers and thought ****, cleveland is making run.
I checked the score and the Cavs has scored a total of FOUR POINTS.
sometimes you guys are too much. ::)

Jay tay with more points than his age
That's a foul SMH. It becomes Cavs ball how predictable.

He could get breaks on the court when they had Irving, but there's no one to take over control now. He's their entire offense

Tristan Thomson commits more moving screens than any player I've ever seen.You haven’t watched horford much then. ;D
hand down man downWHERES THE FOULS?????????????????????????????
Looks like Mark Jackson ate them all!
we cant buy a foul
Again LeBron is on the bench and we don’t take advantage
Frustrating end to the quarter. We had a chance to put the game away but had some bad offensive possessions. Even the good looks (like the Morris drive on Love) resulted in misses.Just imagine this team with Hayward and Irving. Wow wow wow.
I like the defense, but we need to hit shots too.
dont stop going to rim. fouls MUST BE CALLED!
If the refs weren't ordered to help Lebron this is already a 30 point game.
Jaylen looking gassed as well right now.

Not a fan of not getting the lead to 20 despite multiple chances with LeBron on the bench. But as long as they don't choke massively, they should be fine.
Honestly feel like the refs are calling a good game. I appear to be alone here in that assessment though.

I agree so far.
One more run should do it. Maybe then Lebron decides to sit the entire quarter! :laugh:
I don't know why Smart doesn't shoot more threes. ;)
Why can’t we play like this away from home?
I don't know why Smart doesn't shoot more threes. ;)
Tatum is the man. Dude wears Nerf shoes. Takes Pedia lite when he gets sick. And is dominating the biggest game of his life, again.
It’s infuriating to see Korver make that shot over and over again
Cmon Marcus Smart, you make one nice 3, don't need to brick 2 more.
I guess we're just going to have Smart and Rozier chuck threes the rest of the game??
GO TO FRICKIMNG RIM!

Get some scores on some mid range jumpers
Brad...layup drills please
Good Lord, Rozier... What a terrible night.
Brad has to have better control of this offense. 9 straight Cavs points to cut this back to 12. Settle them down and run some plays to get some good looks rather than jacked up early shot clock threes.
and here come the Cavs off Marcus going into Ray Allen mode and missed layups.

Bench him, Brad. 1-13 and doing nothing but killing us out ther with these missed bunnies and poor decision-making.

I was so nervous about this game - I hate Lebron so much.
This feels very good.
Remember folks, Ainge TRADED DOWN for Tatum! 8)
Feel good win :laugh:
Why don't we rest our starters in Game 6 and just get ready for Game 7 ?
Do better in Cleveland, Celtics! Tonight was alright.
The entire Cavs team looked tired, against a Celtic 7 man rotation.
37% from the field and we still won
Lebron is not going to go down quietly. These kids better be ready for a fight.
James looks rough folks....maybe some EMT and oxygen tank action? Rest of the season off? Let Rodney Hood take his minutes?
37% from the field and we still won
HOUSE MONEYno, no house money. hate that term. undersells this team's accomplishments. we should and will beat Cleveland to get to the finals
Tatum huge tonight... Especially on D
the old adage holds true, the series doesn't start until you win on the road.So this is a non-series? It’s going 7.
Hmm, Smart grabbing his hamstring. Perhaps that explains the minutes. Hope it's not going to affect him moving forward.
How can you not like Jayson Tatumby being a Sixer fan 8)

Old age is catching up with them as the series goes longer, and there are no long stretches of rest between games anymore.

Give credit to Stevens for starting Baynes tonight. That was the perfect adjustment to the Cavs lineup.

True story. TP to you.How can you not like Jayson Tatumby being a Sixer fan 8)
I wonder if Larkin comes back Friday. I know Stevens said it's unlikely, but it could really give our bench the energy boost we need to close it out on the road. Larkin, Smart, and Morris all coming off the bench would really help.
The time off from game 2 to 3 gave Lebron too much time off
He is gassed now
Shoutout as well to our defensive specialist tonight, JR Smith!!!

And just one day of rest until the next game and it's a travel day. Let's finish them in Cleveland.
We are further along then last year vs this team- without our top two players- let that sink in!

All I can tell you is I was a Fultz guy all season until I watched Tatum’s highlight reel, and I said hmmmm Ainge has a decision to make.

When Smart was knocking down those Curry 3s, you just had a good feeling tonight! ;D
(Although I agree it got annoying when he was just chucking them up in the 4th lol)
Fultz for Tatum plus a lottery pick is larceny.
Celts are younger which means a quicker recovery time. The Cavs can be had next game.
Shoutout as well to our defensive specialist tonight, JR Smith!!!
He really did get it done!
I hope he's not hurt. We need more JR!
lue says lebron is tired and he has to suck it up (paraphrased). he said he has no concerns
he says they did well holding us to 37% shooting

You gotta run them off the court in game 6

If their hope is that we keep missing open layups then they are screwed.
LeBron does not have enough time to go to Miami before game 6, does he?

At least gas them, especially Lebron

We just need to let this sink in. In our eastern conf finals series versus Lebron, our two young guns are doing this:
Brown 19.6 ppg
Tatum 17.2 ppg
The way these guys have stepped up in the biggest stage has been amazing. Shocking in the best way.
This team is amazing! The way the Celtics win is just all work!
I felt good about this game after seeing how close Cs came in game 4.

Huh?
We were down,what, 19 in the first quarter in Game 4 ?
Celts never got legitimately close rest of the way despite a few runs in the 4th.
Just don’t think James has much left. He was gassed from the jump.
Boston just needs to stay close and play with energy
Waiting for the "Boston heat today zapped me of my energy" excuseJust don’t think James has much left. He was gassed from the jump.

after 5 min into the game he looked GASSED lol
I have never seen him look like that before

I know Stevens shortened the rotations tonite, but I'm afraid if he does that again in Game 6, Tatum & Brown especially will be exhausted. Their legs were gone in the 4th tonite. Throw every big body at Lebron that we got in Game 6 and wear him down.
I so want to end Lebron James and the Cavs once and for all
Anybody else a little bothered by what Morris did tonight
Why add fuel to a spark?
He needs to stop going overboard ...

Agree. Like if we were down 4 or it was a tie game and we needed a spark, that's fine.
Doing it while up 17 with all the momentum was just stupid. Play stopped for a while and we went cold for a stretch after it. Fortunately, CLE only cut it to 8 in that time and then we went on a mini-run ourselves to prevent CLE from coming back for good.
Sounds like LeBron to Celtics.
Lebron's recall ability in these press conferences is honestly very impressive.

Baynes was awesome on D all night. We came out of the gate with a tough def mentality and forced bad shots, didn't give up off rebounds. Best adjustment of the game.

There is too much history for Lebron ever to even think about signing with the C's. It just isn't happening.
Yeah. But in the off case he wants to sign and Kyrie is the only stumbling block, I'd trade Kyrie in a heartbeat for a young star big like KAT. Anyways just some wishful thinking, go Celtics and good luck to Kyrie and Gordon next season!Sounds like LeBron to Celtics.

Cleveland will be terrible. Would not be surprised if the ended up trading Love and starting the tank process.
QuoteCleveland will be terrible. Would not be surprised if the ended up trading Love and starting the tank process.
CLE won't care they have only really cared about basketball during the LBJ era. Sure, there are fans there but once the Browns start winning, they care more about that as it has always been more of a Football Town. Lived in Ohio for most of my life.
I want to win the next game really bad!
Lebron reciting his 6 turnovers , one by one
Of course he blames Jeff Green for mishandling the pass lol
That was a great game last night, especially considering the sizeable lead throughout the game, which made the game less stressful. As for game 6, I would like to see Marcus Smart and Aaron Baynes in the starting lineup. I think Smart does a better job of running the offense, and he would also help the defense prevent/slow down any potential Cavaliers offensive explosion in the first quarter. I don’t want to see the Cavs offense get off to a good start, and I think Marcus would help in that regard. Besides, I think it could throw the Cavs off because I don’t think they would have planned for it. If the Celtics have the lead or are within 5 points after the first quarter, then I think they end up winning the game.I want Rozier starting because he runs the offense at a quicker pace, getting the ball downcourt faster and looking to break more often. I think that pace has worn down the Cavs. At the beginning of each half I want this team trying to push the ball and wear out the Cavs.
Cavs look tired. Is the NBA going to give them 3 days before the next game.
The Cavs have nobody that can guard Tatum or Brown. Tatum destroyed Love, roasted Smith and went right at LBJ.
This is the aggressive play we need. Do not settle for long 3s (Smart, Rozier and Morris). Go right at the Cavs
