Celtics (4-1) at Cavaliers (2-4) Game #6 11/5/19

[SHAQATTACK]

Great game for GH

I ll take this win .

[kraidstar]

Wow
3 consecutive “who wants the ball more” plays for the W

This club has the "will to win." Gotta love that.

[Roy H.]

Gotta be the best game of Gordo’s career, right?

[mr. dee]

I'm pretty sure, some people will have something negative to complain about. "iTs JuSt tHe CaVs" yeah, but look at the Lakers right now down more than 15 against the lowly Bulls.

[jpotter33]

Wanted Gordon to get to 40 for his new career high, but I'll take 39 and the win on the road!

[Rosco917]

Nice win on the road.

Gordon got anywhere on the floor he wanted tonight, nice handle and a great game.

[azzenfrost]

Led them everywhere except FTs

[MichiganAdam]

I like GH assists even more than the points.  I wish KW would average at least 6 assists as well.
C's doing pretty well missing 2 rotation players still.

[keevsnick]

Welp not crazy about the fact that it took the C's till the last minute to finish off both New York and Cleveland, but they were down two rotation guys in each game and a wins a win. Just need to see these guys play so  good team on the road, thats the final test.

[CelticSooner]

Gotta be the best game of Gordo’s career, right?

Career high in points yes.

[RockinRyA]

Ainge should've just drafted Goga Bitadze.

you sure thats not a type of jock itch ?

Javonte, an undrafted player, got play in the 2nd qtr.

Romeo, a lottery pick, is in Maine.

Bitadze is a Center.
A Center is what the Celts need.
Not that hard to figure out.

You dont draft for need. Besides, romeo was drafted for his ceiling. What they do in their first years is basically a wash.

Ceiling?

Romeo does not have good shooting mechanics.

It's almost as if there are many other things about a player that gives them a high ceiling.

Drafting a shooting guard with shooting problems?

Oh boy yet another hilarious take. Shooting guard position is not only for shooters. Derozan became an all-star FYI.

The point is Romeo was not the best player available.

Alexander-Walker was available.

That's entirely your opinion. Our front office clearly think differently

True.

But right now the front office is not looking good.

It's looking like Ainge drafting JR Giddens!

Are you seriously already comparing him to a bust? Do people even think before they speak?

I'm not saying Romeo is a bust.

What I'm saying is the Celts could have done better.

Sure you aren't. You just happen to bring up a bust when talking about Romeo. I'm saying you're incredibly wrong. It's Robert Upshaw all over again.

Too early to tell.

But best player available at that time was not Romeo.

Alexander-Walker was ranked higher.

Well, ****. If someone was ranked higher, then Ainge definitely made a mistake. When are pre-draft ranking ever wrong? 

Danny is such a bum, he should've drafted Fultz because he was ranked higher!

Ainge is not perfect.

Olynyk instead of Giannis is just one example.

Are you sure? Because Giannis only had 16 points (and 2 DNPs) in his team's first 6 games after being drafted, while Kelly had 49.  And as you already established, the forst 6 games of a player's career defines how good the pick was

It doesnt add up. Based on what I call, the Fierce metrics, Olynyk is the right pick because he scored more than Giannis in their first 6 games. By that same metric though, Tatum was the right pick over Fultz. But then again he also said to pick the higher ranked guy, so Fultz should be the right pick.

[BringToughnessBack]

The beauty of this Gordon game is that this is where that horrible injury happened and he came back and got his highest score total ever in the same arena where nightmares began. This is the start of something special for him in Green.

[Fierce1]

Great win for the Cs.

It was only close because the Celts allowed the Cavs to get 12 offensive rebounds.

Cavs attempted 96 shots while the Celts only had 85.

[slamtheking]

Hayward was 17-20 from the floor.  amazing night for him.  looking more and more like we're getting Utah Hayward this season

[Jiri Welsch]

What an insane performance by Hayward. Holy smokes!
