Isn't Tristan Thompson starting?
To be fair, FL does address thisIsn't Tristan Thompson starting?
Yes
OP should update
Although the Cavs Game Notes list the same starters for this game as they had in Game 1, one of those changes may be to move Tristan Thompson to the starting lineup with Kevin Love at power forward and LeBron James at small forward.
Everyone here already knows he's going to be better, but I thought it was funny to see Jaylen Brown already has more 20-point Playoff games than Jeff Green. In 21 less games and 10 less starts.
LET'S GET IT CELTICS!!!! LET'S GO!!!!

Jeff Green is a poor man's Jaylen Brown
I think that time has passed now. Just a funny comparison in hindsight - that many disagreed with anyway.:angel:Everyone here already knows he's going to be better, but I thought it was funny to see Jaylen Brown already has more 20-point Playoff games than Jeff Green.

I really hope we stop even putting Jaylen in the same utterance as Jeff Green soon.
Just so no one freaks out, I wanna prepare you ahead of time, Lebron is going to shoot A LOT of free throws tonight. A LOT. At least 15 attempts.
Pretty pumped for the game!First possession for Cleveland. Who knows how long that will take, but within the first minute I bet
Really great time to be a Celtics fan.
What’s the over/under on how long into the game before Lebron forcefully bangs his way backwards to the hoop and draws a foul while initiating all of the contact?

Love how the narrative after Game 1 has been that the Cavs merely missed shots and Lebron will just pour it on tonight and lead the team to victory ::)
I hope we win soundly again just so I can see the mental gymnastics that these talking heads will use to justify their continued riding of Lebron.
who are the refs for tonights game??
I hope we never have to see Brothers and Foster again

On the pre-game show on NBCSB, Tommy just said LeBron may guard Tatum. Fine. Jaylen Brown will have a monster game.

I watched the game without the sound on on Sunday and we won, so should I opt for the same approach, tonight? ;) ;D

Sounds like a win-win
We have to win this because I can't take 4 days of Lebron a$$-kissing before the next game.
Come on Cs - I know you have it in you!!
GO TO THE FRICKING HOOP PLEASE
Stop with the quick, dumb threes guys!
oh morris morris morris
allergic to the rim again
Tatum seems very nervous today.
GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY THIS WILL BE A CARDIAC GAME
everybody get a drink or your nitro pills
I don't like the start to this game.We've given up 2 offensive rebounds to Thompson already, what's there to like..

James still feeling thiings out??He hasn't been great and the Cavs are up 2. That's how you lose games against the Hem.
He can't drive

He's been doing this to us for years, and we've yet to figure out how to keep him off the boards.
We're fine. Chill.
We don’t have it today
This is just infuriating. Stop shooting bad jump shots!
Lebron back to bully ball. what do we do?
LeBron is making no sense to me tonight.
ha ha ha...the upside is that lebron cant do that all game. ;DWhy not?
Many of us underestimated LBJ, once again. He is capable of keeping this up. Not good sign.
Also, we haven't exactly shut down the rest of the Cavs.ha ha ha...the upside is that lebron cant do that all game. ;DWhy not?

Brown attacking the RIM.
KEEP DOING IT!
new King in the embryo ..BROWN...amazing —
Lebron has a hundred in first quarter and we are in this!
Everyone calm down...he's gonna start missing these and his teammates will still be standing around watching while we roar back into the game.

lebron has scored 19 of their 25 points. that cant keep up the entire game. and their defense is non existant.Many of us underestimated LBJ, once again. He is capable of keeping this up. Not good sign.
The driving, yes he can. The 3 point shooting? No way
Cavs up 5 with LeBron going postal. I'll take it.
Okay, is anyone really upset right now? Lebron has gone God-mode, has 19 points in 10 minutes, and they're only up by 5 points.
We're not playing the smartest offensive basketball, but that's about as good as you can hope for with how Lebron is playing right now.

Right? I think that this is great, lol. He's playing his ass off - toying with us, even - and it's a five point game. Keep nailing him with picks and screens. You're not going to get a foul on him, naturally, but we should use that to our advantage and go right at him for the rest of the night and, hopefully, tire him out. This is very doable, imo.
Credit the refs - they're not giving Lebron tick tack stuff tonight. Good for them.
And as good as Lebron is, he's only human, and you can already see him starting to miss these difficult shots.
Tatum needs to go to the bathroom and puke it out.
JB needs larry bird school of free throws
Jaylen has been incredible, Tatum looks lost
Jaylen has been incredible, Tatum looks lost
No complaints -- 21 for Lebron and C's down 4.
Brown is going to be a superstar
Lebron goes nuts, only down 4 when only Brown and Horford have shown up. Good stuff :)
LEbron looks like he is going to faint
Okay, if I told you that Lebron went full God-mode and scored 19 points in the first quarter, would you think that Boston is only down 4 points? That's a win for Boston. We can play so much better; that's about the Cavs peak right now.
Tatum needs to calm down and play his game. Looks rattled for some reason.
I'll live with that quarter. I just don't think Lebron going Superman to the exclusion of his teammates is a great blueprint for winning a series.
Jayson needs to work on his handle all summer. Carry a basketball everywhere.
Sixers fan said Tatum is better than Brown. Brown was just injured in their series. We don't know who is going to be better in the future, but right now, its clearly Brown.Jaylen has been incredible, Tatum looks lost
Tatum is playing like he's nervous. He needs to settle down.
So despite all that... C's only down 4 and Lebron has yet to sit?
I'll gladly take that!
LEbron looks like he is going to faintlol
Jaylen has been incredible, Tatum looks lost

you serious?
he has good handles
he just can't drive by 3 defenders waiting for him. Nobody can
he should have stopped and pop or passed the ball

I'm serious. His handles are decent. But his drives to the rim in transition often end in unforced turnovers.
Marc Jackson is beginning to really annoy me.
Tatum playing poorlyNew that'd get him going ;D
Ojeleye should not be in the game when James is sitting.
WHAT ARE WE DOINGApparently something Brad doesn't mind.
Thats a CHARGE!
Hey guys, that white guy wearing #26 for Cleveland can actually shootYes, he also isn't Woody Harrelson.
We can play so much better than this. I'm disappointed.were only down 5. The way we played in the first we should be down 20
who the hell is on korver. they are doing a terrible job. lol

Get Brown back in there.
can't win if james scores 50-75 points
how about foul ing him
Dude, Al has to help Smart there. You have to hedge out and at least put a hand up on Korver, especially when they're letting Thompson move on every screen.
THEY DO NOT HAVE THE ATHLETES TO DEFEND THE RACK AGAINST US
DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE

Why the eff is Brown not in the game, Brad?? ****?looks like they wanted smart on korver the whole time
That worked out wellWhy the eff is Brown not in the game, Brad?? ****?looks like they wanted smart on korver the whole time
Lol so you can bear hug a guy for a jumpball now?lol
How did Love the slowest player on the floor beat us down the court
Games like this makes me miss Kyrie. A lot.

Yeah. Hope he's outI don't want to win based on a concussion, but holy crap Lebron does not look right

Got to finish that Mr. Moose. Well -- nice block by Green.
Yep. Good defensive play thereGot to finish that Mr. Moose. Well -- nice block by Green.
Yeah Jeff Green with an excellent block. Is monroe slow, yes he is, but that was a great block.

We're just missing wide open looks.team will make those shots in the second half.

Lue switched in Thompson to the starting lineup. And Thompson has been clogging up the lanes and grabbing offensive rebounds to keep possessions alive. He's a freaking pesky player. It's not easy to score paint points right now.
What the hell is Moose in there for, Brad?? Dude is simply too slow for this game and will get picked to death by Bron.Don't know how JT or Semi aren't in
Plan? What plan?We're just missing wide open looks.WRONG
entirely different gameplan that has failed. or they are not listening to brad which is it?
What the hell is Moose in there for, Brad?? Dude is simply too slow for this game and will get picked to death by Bron.
lol has Mark Jackson ever seen film of Larry Bird play
Seriously Al? Can't rebound, can't catch the ball on the stealdoesnt matter now we got it back
I'll take being 7 down after how terrible we played in that first half and James going off. Have to play smarter in the second half.
Only down 7 that’s a legit miracle
What the hell are Al and Brown doing defensively??
I'll take being 7 down after how terrible we played in that first half and James going off. Have to play smarter in the second half.LeBron was a dud for a whole quarter and we went from down 4 to down 7. This is horrible
Considering how bad we played were only down by 7 so this is doable. Just need more out of Terry and Morris
Why is BASS_THUMPER always in red on the names list

I wouldn't mind if we brought in some scrubs sometime in the 3rd and started doing Hack-a-Bron lol.

We need Scary Terry to show up. Drew Bledsoe is shaking his head right now... :laugh:
monroe is starting to feel like a slow glass of posion to me- Not a fan-

Cheer up, buttercup.
Lebron has 25 points in the first half. The Cavs are shooting 50+% from both the floor and three, much better than us, and we have played a pretty crappy half altogether.
Yet we're only down 7, and all season long we've been a much better second half team than a first half team.
Can we just please get a big dose of us attacking the rim like we did in game 1. Good things happen for us when we are aggressive. Look for layups, dribble drives, or drive and dish. The cavs are still bad defensively.

Hey guys!god we need him for this
Where's the "Trade Kyrie" crowd??
::)
Not a good time for Rozier to become anonymous. He missed 3 wide open threes in that half, if I recall. We're gonna need his shooting.

Yeah, it does. Because the Cavs are playing about as good as they can, while we're playing some pretty dumb and crappy basketball, yet it's a three possession game.
We'll come out better in the second half, as we have all season long.
sooo many things we not doin..
lebron has nuthin to to with our team being down
brad gonna get em back on track..we got this
im on a new level

The saving grace of this game is that listening to Jonny Gomes trying to call the Sox game on the other channel is in fact more aggravating.

No no no no no. Terry can easily shoot us out of a game. He needs to play smart, drive and dish, and only take shots that our given to him.
That would be a nice start, lol, but I'm afraid that we're just not smart enough to compete with Lebron...unless, of course, we can fly in Rondo at halftime, lol ;D.
LeBron's been lights out but it feels like we're beating ourselves in this game. Guys have to just play smart basketball. Make the extra pass, take it to the rim, stop turning it over. No more early inn the shot clock threes, no more Marcus Morris fadeaway off balance super contested 3s. Just play smart.
Hey guys!

Honestly, perhaps this stage is simply too big for Terry, as that's certainly how he's been playing up to this point in this series, imo. Sigh.

This is his Game 6 2012 East Finals replica performance. Without his two superstar teammates though.

Yeah our shot selection needs to be better. Not only attack the rim more, but we also need to move on offense more. Chauncey was saying that the Cavs were playing better def. I am not sure. We weren't moving as much. Cavs are old, make them work on def, move, cut hard, screen hard, be quicker.

Good Lord, Thompson is just killing Al and Baynes down low on the offensive boards.
Here wa go, Terry shooting us out of games....
Celtics have switched their defense. No longer switching everything.
Brad is just going to have to bite the bullet and keep playing Baynes and Al when Thompson plays with Love. It's not like we haven't started most of the year with this lineup, with Morris in instead of Tatum. Tatum can feast on the bench (Korver), too!
SMAHHHT
Rozier shutting me up. As is tradition.
come on Tatum
give Lebron
one more
Kung Fu chop across rhe nevk ! :D

Holy crap. That dunk by Rozier was insane. Such an incredible athlete. That's with LeBron chasing him down too.
Of course Smart hits that!
Cavs are tired run them off the courtagreed. the celtics have to really run and push hard now. Cavs will fold.
Great play by Jaylen to slap that ball up court and away from Thompson too...
come on Tatum
give Lebron
one more
Kung Fu chop across rhe nevk ! :D
Two more!
Finally we got over this 3-5 point deficit hump !! Keep it up and extend the lead ! Loved Morris going at TT and Rozier dunking this one.

Bradley or IT would've laid that up and got it blocked no doubt. lol

YES!!!!

Another miscomunication. Come on guys. You know what's coming

Smart is so good with Baynes
BAYNES FOR THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

BAYNES!!!
Baynes struggling to guard Love.
LBJ usually blocks that but dang, Rozier destroyed him there!
terry is not facilitating. it is killing anay momentum we had for a good long run
What is with this #### rebounding tonight? Our whole team has butterfingers.and yet they lead by 2. celtics need to hit one hot streak, one run and they have the game.
Hell of a pull out by Tatum there leading to the Rozier three!
Props to Morris for consistently moving the ball to the open man tonight. Making the correct play.
Great third quarter. Give me another just like it.
Hell of a pull out by Tatum there leading to the Rozier three!
Would've been nice to get another score there, but can't complain about that quarter.
Need to be solid the rest of the way. I'm expecting James to try and take over in the final quarter.
Did anybody see smart basically shove Tatum to get back on love and they forced LeBron into a bad (missed) runner?

Lebron's tired. He wore himself out early. A couple of hard fouls on him helped too.

James is going to try and take every shot in the 4th I think.
C's have to KEEP ATTACKING them on offense!
7 point lead going into the 4th. I like it. We outscored Cleveland by 14 in the 3rd.
Now we need to come out steady to start the 4th and we can take control of this game.

Got to give it up to Morris. He's been superb on James since that first quarter explosion.no one could stop lebron in the first. he played incredible. but he cant be that way all the time. celtics took their best shot and have come back to lead.
heck, why be cheap????? 25 point lead is what i want!!!!! ;D7 point lead going into the 4th. I like it. We outscored Cleveland by 14 in the 3rd.

need a 15 point lead now
LBJ usually blocks that but dang, Rozier destroyed him there!
Lebron's tired. He wore himself out early. A couple of hard fouls on him helped too.
Now's the time to relentlessly run him off of picks/screens. BREAK HIM NOW! ;D

James is going to try and take every shot in the 4th I think.
C's have to KEEP ATTACKING them on offense!

God, Smart is so good as a passer in the PnR. When he has a good rolling big with him, that's nearly an automatic good look every time down.
Lebron on the bench. HAVE to go on a run here!
Run them off the court.....stay aggressive

Even when Korver misses it looks like it should have gone in.he's always scared me
Hate to be the one to say, but James hasn't looked the same since that hit....Well, would have been hard to sustain either way.
ha ha ha....who dressed up all those marshmellows in cav uniforms????
what ****ty defense. i love it!
Ok Semi and Moose are gonna put this one away?its a miracle that they can see time in the fourth quarter of a playoff game...and do well!!! :o
That's ok.

He's been shooting from the perimeter all game. So many 3s. He's not driving on our bigs. He's just not.
Just let him go Monroe.
OK no more stupid shots. We need to take it to the rim.Very bad shots!
Good Lord, Brad, what is your fascination with keeping Moose out there?!
We need a time out man.
Good freaking grief, guys.. We're going to let them right back in this with our stupid decision-making.

****mit Brad. Way too long to call a time out. We’ve been stagnant for five minutes.
Horford with a 5 inch height advantage - decides to take a jumpshot ::)
Just ridiculously stupid
The defense has been great. Just gotta make a few shots.

I really hope the Cs don't blow this. So many bad plays in the last couple minutes—Morris with the fast-break turnover, then missing a layup, then too much passing on that last possession.
we need to jack up the def intensity. Lebron is tired!!!!good advice. let's hope CBS has them do exactly that.
attack the rim, no more settling for jumpshots the rest of the way..

so dirty! toss his ass out
this is killing me -- can't get a [dang] stream to work to see the game. you guys are the only way I can keep tabs on what's going on.
Smart is the freaking heart and soul of our team.
That better be a flagrant 2 on Smith. That is incredibly dirty when a guy is up in the air.
Brown plays excellent post up D on Lebron, doesn't allow him to get too deep, strong kid.
I like the chant
SUSPEND HIM TOO! :P
may have to try that -- will wait to Saturday if I get to that point so I can get more games in that free timethis is killing me -- can't get a [dang] stream to work to see the game. you guys are the only way I can keep tabs on what's going on.

he took over game 2, even Jordan needed Pippen and a team and a coach
Love how the narrative after Game 1 has been that the Cavs merely missed shots and Lebron will just pour it on tonight and lead the team to victory ::)
I hope we win soundly again just so I can see the mental gymnastics that these talking heads will use to justify their continued riding of Lebron.
bron gonna cry
suck it cavs
Better win then last game due to queen start- amazing
my handle might need to be changed to ToughnessisBack!
As long as the Celts run their stuff regardless if Lebron goes off or not , i can't see this Cav's team defense standing up over the full 48 to get the job done on the road.Boom
Should be another comfortable win for the Celtics.
Push the panic button lebron
I'm confused though, was it another feel-out game for LeBron?
BOSTON BENDS THE KNEE TO NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Al straight up owning the last three minutes.

Al got mad when JR tried to hurt him. Straight up mad!
The cavs are easier than the bucks and sixers so far
Tough.

The new media narrative will be the neck injury and the surrounding talent.
We'll be ignored again, but that is just fine.
The cavs are easier than the bucks and sixers so far
The Bucks really got The Celtics ready to rumble!
The Cavs only had 17 points in the 3rd. Defense wins championships!
These Boston Celtics are ROUGH RIDERS!!!
As Jaylen Brown said, we don't back down to nobody!
Nobody outside of Celtics Nation believed we could pull this off.
It's time to BELIEVE!!
You BEST BE CONCERNED BronBron! HAHAH! EAT IT! 2-0 Celtics!!
Hey guys-lol
JEFF GREEN WON US A PLAYOFF GAME!
in what world is that not a 2
Cavs just folded.
Here's to House Money !!!!

His panic button is the power-off button. He just disappears.
LeBron brought his A-game. Kevin Love actually played well and the Celtics still won.
The media may look at the macro three-point shooting, but they should know by now counting on any Cavs player besides Korver to consistently play well is stupid given the season we just watched.

Got to admit, his "oh look I'm injured and I'm agonizing in pain" strategy is smart : if he wins, they'll say he gutted it out, and if he loses they'll say he was hurt. Did the same thing with his elbow in 2010 against the Celtics.
By the way, great game from Smart and nice of Al to bring it in crunch time after having a terrible offensive game !
We get several days of rest now too before game 3. I think we can take game 3.
treat game 3 like game 7. if we win game 3 THEY WILL QUIT!
I honestly think the defense tonight was better than G1. Other than a few hiccups between Rozier and Baynes on Love, I don't remember a bunch of spot-up looks for Cleveland. They did an excellent job.LeBron brought his A-game. Kevin Love actually played well and the Celtics still won.
The media may look at the macro three-point shooting, but they should know by now counting on any Cavs player besides Korver to consistently play well is stupid given the season we just watched.

I'm not the biggest Smart fan in the world...but him being the one guy to go after JR Smith and stand up for Horford makes me want to keep him more as much as anything else he brings to the table.

Lots of great moments this game but maybe my favorite was s the shot of Kyrie on the bench after Rozier had made a great play. He just looked proud.

If we take this series, it might match excitement of 2004 and coming back from Yankees when down 3-0 and then winning series. I am in awe

Lue is terrible at post game interviews
I’m 4-0 on games I’ve travelled from Seattle to see in person.
This team is up 2-0 in the ECF against the Cavs without Kyrie and Hayward. This is so weird!!!
Also not very smart
He said they aint good on the road lol
Just add fuel on the fire Lue
Imagine how pathetic raptors fans feel :laugh:

Great response to LBJ's huge first quarter.looking at the replay, it's a pretty blatant foul. league's appropriate action would be to upgrade to a flagrant 2 and suspend him for next game. of course with the way he's playing, that would probably help Cleveland
Still in shock JR wasn't ejected.
Wow, as surprising as it sounds, I felt the refs called this game very well and evenly.
Unfortunately, now we probably get Foster and Brothers to bail Lebron and Cleveland for a game there... :(

i dont agree with Stephen Smith very often, but he is right on this. Cavs just gave no effort in the last 4 min of the game, when the game was still on the line. amazing.

more telling was the laughing and smiling that love and lebron were flashing. do they even care that we kicked their butts two games in a row? you would think they would be p---ed they were getting their asses handed to them.
Cavagedon indeed: Hood, Clarkson, Nance Jr, and Hill scored 5 points in game two.
Six wins left.Ifboston goes 6-6 the rest of the way they become the champions
NBATV is explaining to me why the only reason the Celtics won is because LeBron got hurt in the first half.
According to them apparently LeBron's injury affected every single Cavs player.
One might think that means the C's have a better team, and have advantages at multiple positions at all times. And that the Cavs play horrible defense. But no.
It's all about LeBron.
Thanks for the insight, NBATV. You #### clowns.
Cavagedon indeed: Hood, Clarkson, Nance Jr, and Hill scored 5 points in game two.
Hood is playing scared, Clarkson was passable but can't get off the bench, Nance's bbiq is lower than Gerald Green's, and Hill has been invisible.
I am so glad that the C's so far haven't let any of these guys crash the party.

The biggest difference between a guy like Bird and LeBron is that Bird wouldn't be yucking it up in the post game press conference like Love and Bron did after a two games lost. Bird would call himself and his team mates a bunch of sissies and go on to fight for this series.

The folks who were freaking out after those trades Cleveland made were ridiculous. They got 4 role players who had done nothing in the playoffs. Crowder would've given them more than all those guys combined. They also should've kept Wade and Rose. At least those two can put up a couple of points in big games.

True. I was thinking about that Bird quote during the game actually, weirdly enough.
Bird also never had the support of these sniveling league-appointed media toadies like LeBron does. They make it easy to be soft.
So guys like Tyronn Lue can claim we're "gooning it up" and nobody has the balls to challenge him about why his team is soft.

Oh yeah, Bird would be calling his own guys out as wussies and shove their faces in it. As competitors, you have to question the laughing and smiling by Love and Lebron in that postgame presser. Are they so confident that they still have this series? If I was them I would be pretty chippy...

I RARELY quote myself but it's time to fess up. I turned it off after the 1st quarter, mainly b/c I wake up at 5:00AM, and I had no confidence the C's would win. The lesson: Even though LBJ is having a great playoff run, he can't beat the C's by himself. He is human and doesn't have the wind for an entire game.ha ha ha...the upside is that lebron cant do that all game. ;DWhy not?
I was at the game last night and all I can tell you is my ears still hurt. The Garden faithful has been bringing it this post-season.

Brown won that game for us. Most teams get blown out in the first quarter and never recover but Brown was tough and relentless. He kept us in the game holding the deficit to only 5 points which helped us from having to come back from 20 which looked like the case in the first 5 minutes!

I wanted to comment on this exact same thing regarding Jaylen Brown. The Celtics took LeBron's best punch in the first quarter, and because of Brown's aggressiveness and ability to score, he was able to help the team keep the game within reach. I believe it helped break the Cavs will, when they looked up at the end of the first quarter and they only had a 4 point lead. Also, the Marcus Smart hustle towards the end of the second quarter, that lead to a quick 4 points, may have been the nail in the coffin for game 2.
one of the youngest rosters in the league
a team built for the future
that is ready to win now
C us rise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
