Cavaliers (15-0) at Celtics (11-3) Game #15 11/19/24

[Vermont Green]

Cleveland is not defending the three. Their scheme is to protect the paint. I guess they haven?t been watching how other teams defend the Celtics.

[Silas]

JB with 3 turnovers but has 5 assists and is playing great D.

[Neurotic Guy]

Shooting reminiscent of the Knicks game. Good looks, everything falling.

[SCeltic34]

Loving the ball movement.

Garland 1-14. God bless him

Some of it is Garland just missing, but I do think he's feeling a lot of pressure from White and Jrue.

Also, it feels like the team as a whole was just not ready for this game. Feeling the pressure.

[Silas]

Good timeout Joe...

[radiohead]

JB with 3 turnovers but has 5 assists and is playing great D.

The overall team defense is actually really good!

[Phantom255x]

Smart timeout, can't let Garland make a shot

 

[Neurotic Guy]

Nice TO.

Defensive intensity or Cavs will climb back.

[jpotter33]

A big part of this is Mitchell and Garland just getting completely exposed defensively, too. No other team they've faced thus far can really exploit them like we can, which is simply always going to be a problem when you feature two small, defensive liabilities at guard like Cleveland does.

Okay, guys. No let up. Don't forget this is a NBA Cup game where point differential matters.

They're falling  asleep on d.

Making me a bit nervous

[jpotter33]

Okay, Queta is killing us defensively. Our defense changed as soon as he came in. And we're back to bad threes.

[Neurotic Guy]

Cavs back in it. Scoring at will.

[Goldstar88]

Queta looks lost tonight.
