Finally a foul call!

Yeah, like the switch by Joe to the smaller lineup, though this is smaller than expected. They were killing the two big lineup. But have to gang rebound against both of their bigs.

Cavs and Knicks just give the Celtics fits.

Excellent ball movement leads to an open three. Hope they play that way all game long.

[Vermont Green]

We have lost the off the ball movement.  High pick and roll if fine but the other 3 need to keep moving.

Unfortunately there’s probably a good chance we have to play either of them in the 2nd round

[jpotter33]

Man, Cleveland is tough.

Seems like they're going to slow down some, as they seem to be super high intensity and energy right now. But they're very, very good defensively, and their guards make them lethal offensively.

I don't know. I almost prefer a Philly matchup over Cleveland in the second round.

[celticinorlando]

Celtics can’t guard their guards and just getting killed on the offensive glass

[liam]

SAM THE BOMB!!!

[jpotter33]

Transition points are going to be key for us. Have to push every time down the floor.

[Vermont Green]

Muscala's defense has been bad so far.

[celticinorlando]

This team plays so little defense
And Tatum still on vacation

[Phantom255x]

This definitely has a playoff feel to it

[PAOBoston]

Cavs are for real. Would not want to face them in the playoffs. They are not a good matchup for the Cs.

Rather play Philly round two than Cleveland.
