Cavaliers (9-21) at Celtics (21-7) Game #29 12/27/19

[SHAQATTACK]

Jaylen continues to make his case to be an All-Star. If he just keeps playing with this aggression, confidence, energy and intelligence he will be a shoe-in.

his confidence is off the chart

[blink]

Cavs just don't have any answers defensively for JT and JB.  They are literally getting anything they want right now.
It is so awesome.

In the perfect world, both Tatum and Brown would make the all star team this year. If I had to choose one, I’d take Brown due to efficiency, but both should be in.

They have Cedi Osman and...yeah lol.

[ETNCeltics]

Tatum and Brown are taking turns being wrecking balls to opposing D.

[Mike Pemulis]

I am impressed with how Langford is doing the little things well on def right now.  He was caught on a switch in post def against Nance Jr. and he played it perfectly.  Another play was a come behind block, and then got his hand on another pass to get a tip.

Agreed. And it doesn't seem a result of the Cavs playing poorly. Never know when he might come in handy (playoff Gerald green against Chicago in playoffs) so keep getting better stay humble and ready.

[Mike Pemulis]

No idea why, but I'm a Cedi Osmand fan.

Seems like lately that when the ball swings to Walker at the top, he is moving the ball with a pass less and less and going into that in-and-out dribbling routine more and more. If true, this is not good.

I don't at all think this has anything to do with Kemba wanting shots for himself or more points or whatever - just maybe him reverting back to what he was so used to doing in Charlotte, out of necessity.

Or maybe this impression I am getting is just some post-Kyrie PTSD paranoia. Anyone else notice this?

I think it’s just you. Kemba at the top coming off a pick or hand off is done to help set up his attack and create from there. Seems fine to me since his mindset is to get in the paint. He’s been a willing passer this year too

[ETNCeltics]

Tatum is nuclear again, like he was the other night against Charlotte.

[GreenCoffeeBean]

Kanter just owned Love. That was hilarious.

[Chief]

Kevin Love is too good to have to play on this Cavs team.

Too small inside! So refreshing to see one of our bigs do that to another team.

[Monkhouse]

Kevin Love is too good to have to play on this Cavs team.

But the question remains... Who's going to even bother taking that contract on?

[hwangjini_1]

tps for anyone who provides details on how the celtics are playing.

I am fine with Walker catching the ball up top after coming off a screen and then shooting in rhythm or penetrating immediately - I just don't like the ball stopping dead with him holding it and then going into that one-on-one dribble routine. I understand if the shot clock is way down, but the Celts are at their best offensively when the ball is popping and players are moving.
