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

[hpantazo]

Alright, time to start playing some defense. This effort is embarrassing.

[j804]

Offense has no rhyme or reason to it draw something up Joe. Joe is getting coached circles around by JB right now smh

[jpotter33]

Terrible Hauser miscommunication on the screen there.

Yet another game when we're just not locked in defensively. This is getting ridiculous, and this crap won't fly when we're playing actual competition.

Obviously its early, but can't blame 3 point shooting on this one so far. Cavs 5-13, C's 8-15.

JOE BLOW PUT IN SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO PLAY D

HOW ABOUT TRY X or Q? you numbskull.

Houser is really not helping on either side of the ball. Is there not someone on the bench who would be more useful? Someone who could bring some energy?

At least he finally hit a 3, but Svi is a more energetic version of Hauser. We also have Springer and Brissett who provide a lot more intensity out there. Hauser just going through the motions on D lately it seems

[Birdman]

Cavs are not the wizards or Pistons, yes they don’t have Mitchell or Allen but they still a good team & we don’t have Porzingus

[j804]

I don’t understand how anybody can watch this team and think they are a true contender. They simply aren’t. I love them and will support them till the end but man this Cavs team stinks and we look nearly as bad with ALLLL this talent on our team. This is real bad embarrassing lackadaisical first quarter. Just coasting like then can care less.

They are a contender

A fraud contender is what they are exposing themselves as right now 

[celticinorlando]

Defense blows. Now scrub players have confidence

[j804]

That quarter is why no one trusts this team

Exactly

[tenn_smoothie]

letting some bums hang with is at home

wow just wow

embarassment

Maybe we could think about defending the 3-point line. This team is so physically talented, but mentally weak that they cannot maintain the necessary focus required to play the right way past maybe one half at a time.

Started the game looking like some D commitment. Then just handing out open threes.

I’m pretty sure the D will be up a few notches if we play a stronger team. That’s always been the knock on the Celtics. They tend to play down to the competition. Just hopemthe Cavs don’t get red hot and we start thinking “we’ll just get them next game”.

[celticinorlando]

If we can’t guard the three better we are heading back to Cleveland

[celticinorlando]

Embarrassing.
