Cavaliers (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Eastern Conference Semifinals Game 1 5/7/24

[celticinorlando]

This team at home in game 1s just are pretty much useless

[scaryjerry]

Cavs 5-8 from 3. Of course

I mean if the Celtics are just going to leave them wide open why wouldn’t they be.

Jaylen's locked in, but we need more from the others

[SCeltic34]

Good D by Hauser, followed by good help and a block by Kornet.

Weak D so far. Tighten it up!

JB driving like lebron to the rim

[scaryjerry]

You can already tell they don't have an answer defensively for the Jays.

JT is predictably invisible to start so not sure how you can say that

[jpotter33]

Man, it feels like since that second Denver game, every team's strategy against us is to load up on Tatum and make it as difficult as possible for him, leaving it up to the others like JB to feast and beat them on their own.

[celticinorlando]

Mitchell gets every single call

[radiohead]

There you go JT!

[celticinorlando]

Cleveland cannot guard the Celtics

Like, do you even watch the games or just box score watch? Like virtually everyone does against us now, they're selling out their defense to stop Tatum, which allows the others like JB to cook their man individually. Outside of the one dumb three, he's played very well and make great decisions thus far - now completing an and-one.

[Phantom255x]

T3TUM!

[jpotter33]

I hate that three by White.

[Vermont Green]

Early substitutions, but no Pritchard.  Bench guys are giving some defensive energy.
