Celtics are in big trouble in this series

They can’t guard Mitchell. And that’s not going to change

I agree, I said Celtics in 6 before series started but now be lucky to win

Lol these non-sensical hot takes are hilarious. The exact same things were bing said after game two in Miami 

But Miami didn’t have Mitchell lol

Mitchell was even better last game, yet we blew them out.

Tonight the other Cavs are the difference, which is due to our lackadaisical defense  and effort on that side of the ball. Nobody can stop scorers like Mitchell when he's on - too good of a shooter and too athletic. But we can limit all the others, but not when our effort, focus, and intensity is so off like it was tonight.

On to the next.  This team continues to baffle with these dreadful showings that are not befitting of such a talented roster.

Typical soft performance at home in the playoffs. We got it down to 1 by going to the hoop and then we decided to shoot the game away with some horrible shot selections.

I think we are long past being able to blame lack of talent - this group has everything it needs.  Only person I feel that is left to put blame on is the coach.

At this point i’ll take a series win no matter how many games. Cs are just inconsistent.

How many times do you guys have to make these crazy, pessimistic predictions and get proven wrong before you stop overreacting to every single loss?

Denver had a cakewalk to the championship last year, yet they still lost four games along the way, including two in the second round. Relax. We'll be fine when they're not shooting way over their head and we're not shooting way under what we usually do.

WHY DOES JOE HAVE THE STARTERS IN???

The Cs are never in this game mentally, just like the Cavs were never in  game 1, after their 7 game series.

TD Garden - Homecourt "Disadvantage"

You see teams around the league fighting in the regular season to get HCA, and the impact it has. Even the "bridgey Celtics" between 2016-2018 were typically great in big home playoff games. But since 2022 it's almost like a house of horrors in the postseason. 37-4 regular season at home, and so far this postseason about to be 3-2...

TV Graphic. 2nd half 3PT shooting.

Cavs = 10-15 3PTA
Celtics = 1-15 3PTA

We’re still going to win in 6. We had a crap game. It sucks, but we always have a crap game early in the series. Mitchell is incredible, but we’re simply a better team.

Healthiest thing to do is to sign off and come back in a day or two.

Can we win 2 in Cleveland? Last time we won there was back in 2021.

[blink]

Tatum probably deserves that upgraded foul.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Boston will lose game 3 also.

i expect us to be down 2-1 also.

sparwizard may have the last laugh. he predicted this thing goes 7. if we cannot win at home it very well may go 7.

[Yuckabuck33]

Why are they looking for a flagrant?
