Cavaliers (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) Eastern Conference Semifinals Game 2 5/9/24

[Phantom255x]

People are gonna rev up the "Fire Joe" thread but again, players are missing wide open 3s, the individual defense has absolutely sucked and it's the same core for the most part that's choked it in recent years. Donovan Mitchell torched us even in the Ime and Stevens' years. At some point you might just have to look at the players. Using only coaching is just an excuse for the players.

[Who]

Huh. Missed the Q3.

Not the scoreline I expected to find.

Lol. 48 hours ago most of this thread was “The Cavs probably will get swept.” I come here when the celts are losing, and it’s, “Celtics can’t win this series.” It’s quite insufferable sometimes.

Yep. It's bad

our favorite BI POLAR CELTICS ARE BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

we just suck in game 2's.

[blink]

unfortunately every lapse is mental with us.

Celtics are in big trouble in this series

They can’t guard Mitchell. And that’s not going to change

I agree, I said Celtics in 6 before series started but now be lucky to win

Lol these non-sensical hot takes are hilarious. The exact same things were bing said after game two in Miami 

The difference is Boston wins in Miami. They don’t win in Cleveland. Ever.

Media pundits: "This series is over, there's no way Cleveland can win"

Boston Celtics: "hold my beer"

But Miami didn’t have Mitchell lol

Cleveland has only taken 24 3s, but made 50% of them. And just like Miami Game 2, most of them are wide open.

**** this board is the absolute worst when Celtics lose a game.

There is no way we can win a series if we lose a single game at home!

Like people are saying for a long time, its the fashion on how they are losing thats infuriating people. We can live with Cavs hitting tough contested shots after constested shots as long as the defensive effort is consistent. But when their shots are not falling, they also stop playing D which is infuriating

[SHAQATTACK]

They were ready mentally

Celtics not

This is not an acceptable game. C's played lazy tonight, didn't play a lick of defense. Shots never came and they just stopped playing completely.

Huh. Missed the Q3.

A lot of boom and bust with Joe ball.

We missed all three point attempts we had in the 3rd.  And we ended up getting our asses kicked.  Died by the 3.

Wow, 7-30 3PTAs

[Surferdad]

This is a reguar season team, 64 wins. Not built for the playoffs. Too passive and lacks mental toughness.

23% from 3 is never going to beat 50% from 3.
