Celtics (4-2) at Cavaliers (5-1) Game #7 11/2/22

I want to watch the Alternate Universe version of this team, with a properly managed Timelord, a healthy Gallinari, Ime with better judgment, and actual big men on the bench.

The current team is good, but is missing something.

Cleveland is going to overachieve in the regular season. Won’t get past the second round of the playoffs

Great game overall.  Cavs much improved this year, and they are really looking like they will push for that 4/5 spot in the playoffs.

Healthy, Cleveland could be a Top 3 team. Mitchell makes a huge difference.

After losing these first two games against them, not sure I want to see them in the playoffs.  But then again, they were early season leaders last year as well, but the Mitchell addition was big.

Game is completely different with Timelord out there, too. That's a huge missing piece for us. Hard to really compare us to them without seeing him play.

one positive I take from this game is that no one on the C's really had a good night.  everyone was off in one or many regards and yet we took Cleveland to OT on the road.  we still should have won this but at least we didn't get blown out or fade when we got behind

D-White with 3pts in 32mins isn’t exactly helping. Brogdon needs to be playing more. Take some of those minutes from Derrick.

Yeah, I get wanting to manage his minutes, but like other facets of Joe's apparent coaching philosophy, he's taking it way to the extreme.

28mpg for Brogdon would be ideal. Take away 4-6mins from White. I also don’t like seeing Smart and White on the court together.

That’s my prediction as well…top 3 seed, Donovan mitchell mvp talk…2nd round exit…then again wouldnt shock me if the Celtics were a 2nd round exit this year

I like what White does on the court, but of course Brogdon should get more minutes.  I do wonder if Joe wants to manage MB minutes to some extent. 

Cs will probably need to give up something to get some frontcourt help and right now that looks like Payton, White, Sam, maybe Grant.

[celticinorlando]

Not sure why white gets as many minutes as he does. And this team is its own worst enemy. Can’t get out of its own way.

Still think the bench is weak with Kornet and Hauser having to be relied on as functional players.

That's not ideal, but he also only took 4 shots. Of greater significance was Tatum going 8/21 and Jaylen going 10/26. Beating good teams on the road is easier when your stars are making their shots.

White probably plays the most consistent perimeter defense on the team.  He has earned his minutes overall.

Enough...the JB dribble made no difference. The team had two timeouts.

Uh, you mean besides the full second he took off the clock by dribbling it? Yeah, they were able to advance it, but he still took an eternity off the clock in an end of game scenario by his brain fart. Further, it doesn't change the fact that it was yet another example of his awful BBIQ.

You're clueless. Brown does not have a bad BBIQ. Top 15-20 players don't get there by having bad BBIQ. Bad BBIQ players don't develop to the level he has from where he was to start his career. Bad BBIQ players don't figure out how to get better and better every year. Bad BBIQ players don't become a premier two way player.

It's obvious you have always had a hair across your ass over Jaylen. Always hyper critical. Always pushing this stupid bad BBIQ agenda. It's pathetic.

Can’t have 3 points in 32 minutes. Have to get more out of him

Timelord!

It's really that simple.

And Gallinari

[celticinorlando]

Real question is can they stay afloat with the team they have until Williams returns in January
