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

[SparzWizard]

Jaylen dribbling makes me nauseous.

[jpotter33]

Good Lord, Brown. What an idiotic decision. Compound the bad turnover with the foul leading to free throws.

If you want to take the final possession, then make smart decisions.

[cman88]

I mean to be tied as bad as we played. Have a bit 3rd and we are good.

[Phantom255x]

This is a good test for this team. Not every win is gonna be a 25+ point blowout. Close game, lets see how they handle the adversity a bit.

[SCeltic34]

Awful half.  And yet we're still tied.

The talent level on this team is so high, yet we often look far below our performance threshhold.

[celticinorlando]

And we are right back to where we were vs the heat in game 2

Just giving this game at home away

[blink]

well at least not behind at 1/2.  good news - we can play a LOT better.   our def needs to get to the next level.  we are giving up way too many dives to the rim

[Neurotic Guy]

Lid on the rim since Cs hit 51. Lousy ending.
I’m afraid Mitchell goes crazy this half. A good opportunity for Cleveland.

[keevsnick]

The Celtics need to take more threes. They've fallen into the trap of attacking the rim too much. Their offense is at its best when they are taking around 45 threes, only 17 in the first half.

[jpotter33]

Our guards have to do a better job defensively. They're consistently letting guys by them, which is forcing the bigs to help and that's how they're scoring a majority of their points.

[SparzWizard]

Think Cavs are winning this game. We're due for an L...C's playing sloppy/with their food like they usual self. And don't give me the excuse that KP is out.

[scaryjerry]

Still searching for superstar Tatum….sure he’s playing decent and playing his role but desperately need more…not gonna be able to ride white and brown to a title

[BringToughnessBack]

Missed most of first half, I consider myself lucky.

End of quarter didn’t look great but not worried. We wont
lose to this Cavs team. Expect a 20 point lead going into 4th and final score of 119 to 98

[jambr380]

Man, Payton Pritchard basically the only guy you could say had a good half and he only had 6 points.

Tatum going 3/10. And only 3 of the 15 shots he put up went in. The extra 5 being shots he was fouled on, but they were all on lay-ups. You would have thought 1 of those could have been an and-one

[Phantom255x]

Brown is 5-10 from the field. White has only taken 5 shots. Need to get him more involved. Much rather that than Tatum taking stepback 3s or iso fadeaways
