Celtics (1-1) at Cavaliers (1-1) Game #3 Eastern Conference Semifinals 5/11/24

[SCeltic34]

The C's are making a lot of defensive mistakes.  The communication on PnR needs serious improvement.

drive and win this at the line kobe style

Where’s this super team ive heard so much about

Not a super team without Porzingis.

So kristaps porzingis makes us a super team? lol
Does Jared Allen make the cavs a super team too?

Some top notch basketball analysis there, Scary.

I mean clearly I was being sarcastic, I’ve been adamant all year we are not a super team, and frankly Jarett* Allen is as important to the cavs as kristaps is to us and these teams seem pretty evenly matched if you ask me

Cleveland looks wildly overmatched to me. Can't keep pace with BOS. On pace to get blown out if their supporting don't start stepping up soon.

White will figure it out. Stop jacking threes and take it to the hoop. No need to force it. Period.

[SCeltic34]

Okoro = 2pts
LeVert = 0pts
Strus = 3pts

Not going to get it done.

It is not like T Thompson, M Morris or Dean Wade are going to be big scorers for them. Wade has 1 three. The other two scoreless. So 3pts between them. Only 5pts from their wings.

Only 8pts from those 6 players. Not going to get it done.

That's one of the silver linings of Mitchell having it going.  He hogs the ball and noone else gets in a rhythm.  He had a "good" 4th quarter against Orlando, where he was doing all of the scoring, literally.  He scored all 18 points in the 4th quarter.  But those are the only 18 points they scored.

we are killing them when we drive

tell all to drive rest of night unless they collpase and you get a 3 second setup for a three

[Goldstar88]

C’s should be attacking Mitchell or Garland every time. Make them work on both ends.

[scaryjerry]

Cleveland haven't looked good.

D Mitchell has half their points. 19 of 42. He isn't getting the help he needs to beat this BOS team.

Yeah and I like the Celtics energy much better then game 2 but the game is still well within reach for the cavs.

[SCeltic34]

Good half.  Despite a nuclear half by Mitchell the Cavs only scored 48 points.

Cut down on the turnovers.  Continue to rebound the ball.

[mr. dee]

I hate that Tatum step back crap. Attack the rim

[Silas]

Getting it done...Cs win 1st and 2nd quarter.

[blink]

Mitchell with a major off arm push off before he hit that last 3.   That should have been an off foul.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

cannot stand

strus
mobley

and now mitchell

really starting to dislike this ballcliub

[Who]

BOS 57pts

FGA = 22-41 for 53.7%
3PTA = 7-18 for 38.9%
FTA = 6-7 for 85.7%

That is what 44 possessions for 57 points. About 1.3 points per possession. They are killing it.

[Vermont Green]

This feels more like game one. Celtics win both quarters. Both teams are playing with energy. The Celtics just were better. Very entertaining Half for Celtics fans.
