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 think we employed the same strategy, let Lebron do his thing and try to contain the rest of his team
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.

Recent Zach Lowe article about that is good reading:

I'm loving Stephen Smith asking where was Cleveland's effort.  "They're on milk cartons right now. It's embarrassing. They stopped playing."

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!

Yeah. Even if they don't quit, if we win game 3 they are done.

LET'S GO CELTICS!

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.
Yup

Celtics split in Cleveland and finish them off in 5.

Bron looked about as gassed as I've ever seen. Think father time is catching up.
