Ty Lue is banking in Boston not playing well in Cleveland. He has mentioned it every time he has had an interview.

I expect the Cavs come out trying to run and gun going to the basket and drawing a lot of fouls

Transition threes. Boston has to rebound and get back

The Cavs should hope he has a strategic plan besides running more and repeating the Celtics are bad on the rpad as if it was a magic formula...

we just have to hope that the Refs dont call a bunch of fouls on us to give the cavs the game.

If we see Tatum/Brown pick up 2 quick fouls again we will know the fix is in.

Game 3 on the road while up 2-0 is about as tough a game to win as there is (assuming there isn't a gigantic disparity in the quality of teams).  If the home team has any kind of heart you're going to see a desperate, wounded animal, fighting for its life kind of effort.  The Celtics are 1-1 vs the wounded in these playoffs under these circumstances.  I'd say that's pretty good.

Don't let the bear out of the trap C's!

we just need one of these two in cleveland. BUT if we get tonight it could be the deathblow where they just give up.

Let's test the heart of this team and try and get up on them. If the last 2 games proved anything, outside of Lebron they dont have any heart.

If Smart was healthy we would have swept the Bucks though, that's one glaring weakness of Rozier, he only plays well at home

Here's an interesting twist: For Rozier, Cleveland is where he grew up. It is home. It will be interesting to see whether he can play well there.

We are 1-4, and our offense is significantly worse on the road. I think we have an offensive rating under 100 on the road. So no, not a false narrative. But it is a narrative we can change. With a young team like ours it might just be a matter of getting used to the rod atmosphere.

Little perspective....the 2008 World Champion Boston Celtics were 3-9 on the road. They were bad on the road, I guess, not that it mattered. They were 13-1 at home.

Today’s game won’t do anything to change that narrative
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

It is Cleveland that is bad on the road.  They played way better, like the team that swept Toronto.  More about Cleveland than the Celtics.

Two teams on the court.  Fact is, we’re bad on the road.

very bad

no energy

I especially didn't understand the doubling of James tonight

Cavs give and go exposed Celtics defense badly

On offense, Brown looked overwhelmed.  Horford played with low energy
