Cavaliers (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) Eastern Conference Semifinals Game 2 5/9/24

[celticinorlando]

Jrue has been bad on offense and lost on defense

JT playing hero ball

White getting too three happy

Hauser a non factor

We need these guys to show up

[Silas]

Think we will see more 3pt attempts this half.

[angryguy77]

Make our layups and rebound better. All that needs to be done to win this going away

[celticinorlando]

Cavs controlled the tempo
Cavs getting a lot of rebounds on offense
Scoring at will in the paint

Frustrating

My prediction: CLE will win this game, then BOS steals one on the road, come back home down 3-2. C’s win the series in 7, but it should have been an easy sweep with Allen and Wade injured.

It's gonna be like the last two ECSF. Split the home games and split the away games. Then lose the Game 5 at home to be down 3-2 and start playing with a sense of urgency. They like doing this to themselves.

Great job to start the second half

[jpotter33]

Come on, Al. Why even be out there if you're just going to give Garland wide open threes off the PnR by dropping so far?

[celticinorlando]

Absolutely zero energy by the team or crowd

[Yuckabuck33]

Al has completely lost his jump hook.

[SCeltic34]

Tatum's iso game is so overrated.  With each unnecessary dribble he decreases his effectiveness.

[celticinorlando]

And another game two disaster vs a terrible team

Every time I think they have turned the corner they simply have not.

[SparzWizard]

Atrocious 3rd quarter

[keevsnick]

Got to give Mobley credit here, he's been good on Tatum on these drives. He has enough length to make these finishes tough. Every drive becomes a contested floater, thats not Tatum's strength

[jpotter33]

Still searching for superstar Tatum….sure he’s playing decent and playing his role but desperately need more…not gonna be able to ride white and brown to a title

Lol 16, 6, and 4 at the half with 0 TOs and playing extremely good D with Brown having 10 points and 1 rebound and White having 4, 3, and 3, but, yes, Tatum is the one who needs to step up. 

Not sure what world some of you live in with your ridiculous expectations.

And the problem with that will be fatigue in the ECF and Finals.

I sense the season beginning to slip away…
