Sam with good D and finish it off with the 3!

Celtics need to really commit on defense vs the cavs. If they can do this the offense will open up

[slamtheking]

C's really need to gang rebound against Cleveland.  too many offensive rebounds and second chance points given up already and we're just partway through the second

[PAOBoston]

Wish the Cs fought a little harder off picks. They seem to just switch everything. When Hauser on the floor, teams seam to try and exploit  that a lot.

3 for 12 from 3. Celtics shooting has just dried up

Last season, Cs would hang their hat on defense.
This season they hang their hat on 3s.

Defense is more reliable.  3s come and go.  That’s what worries me.
Too dependent on 3s this season.

Yep. Getting all out sorts and position defensively.

Tatum has been unlocked since the tip slam. Love it.

It looks like the Cavs have woken us up. Realize we're not just going to be able to "out-talent" them. Actually have to play hard and together.

[celticinorlando]

No answer for garland. Just getting to the rim at will

[Phantom255x]

Boy CLE is missing a lot of FTs

[PAOBoston]

Timelord needs to just yam that. He always looks to pass first.

[Indocelts]

Tatum is a beast attacking the basket, this is the way he's supposed to play as it opens up lots of shooting opportunities too.

[slamtheking]

good lord, we just continue to fail to secure missed Cleveland shots

[jpotter33]

Inexcusable offensive rebound there. Poor effort getting the ball by JB.

[celticinorlando]

Cleveland getting every late whistle
