Cavaliers (1-3) at Celtics (3-1) Eastern Conference Semifinals Game #5 5/15/24

I think the Celtics fully recognize the importance of closing this out and getting rest for Al and Porzingis. I expect them to take care of business tonight.

The only way this does not end tonight is if Mitchell plays and the C's put up a dud like game 2.  I don't think we will see another game 2 like game since the C's know if they don't close this out at home there will be a lot of questions.  C's win 122 to 102.

If the C's win tonight and either NYK/IN or DEN/MIN go to 7 then the Celtics wouldn't play again for 6 days, until Tuesday of next week. That would be a nice break for the C's before facing a potentially very tired Knicks or Pacers.

But if they lose tonight and Knicks win in 6 then they'd lose that rest advantage completely. So lets wrap this one up.

Let's GO Celts. Close it out for the home fans. Big Al you are overdue and D. White. Let's get a lot of minutes for PP leading the bench when we are blowing them out in the 4th.

want to see many howitzer bombs and PP bombs going through the hoop from 3 tonight

every body else drive. jrue, jayson, jaylen, DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE.

It is time for Hauser to make an imprint on this series. Does not need to go nuts but 12 points off the bench would be fantastic.

pray that every other series goes 7 with 7 overtimes in each game

we want the team we play in the finals to be dead tired and have no legs.

Wonder if Bron appears at this game too

Cavaliers All-Star Donovan Mitchell is expected to miss tonight's potential elimination Game 5 vs. Boston, sources tell me and @joevardon. Mitchell is dealing with a calf strain.

absolutely that would be great

bron?

[celticinorlando]

Shams did say that Mitchell's strained calf is pretty real. Does not sound like its mild.

The fact that they announced it early tells me it's somewhat serious for Mitchell. Meaning he's probably done for this series regardless, though it may not matter anyways since they are down 3-1. It's felt the same way with Jarrett Allen, no concrete updates and always "questionable".

But still, I would not fool around. Last thing you need is to have this go back to Cleveland on Friday night and then it turns out Mitchell and/or Allen return. Got to take care of business tonight

Agree. I do not think we see Mitchell nor Allen in this series. Might be the last time we see Mitchell as a cav.

Might've also been the reason why LeBron was at the game the other night. Privately recruiting him to Lakers lol.
