Man, Al has just fallen off a cliff with his shooting and finishing.

Bench Hauser for that decision. That is absolutely disgusting. You just blew a 3 ON 1 fastbreak with an awful pull up three when you've been largely meh this season.

Luke has played well.

Heard you....then made 2 3s...keep up the critique.

Some beautiful playmaking by JT on the double team there. Maybe those two threes will finally get Al going again.

AL is going to be left open he has hit maybe like 2-5...Luke has been aggressive i liked what i saw from brown.

[Goldstar88]

That?s called flipping the switch.

All said and done it was a good quarter for the Cs against the best team (record) in the league.

Keep it rollin guys.

Nice anti-jinx.

Re the three.  I now just hate it.  Remember when Smart used to tee up a three and you?d groan noooo.  This is how I feel almost every time the Cs hoist one.   It is WAY too much of their collective game.

It would be one thing if they were a great 3-point shooting team. Last year Horford, Jrue, White were near the top of the league in percentage.  This team is a decent, not great, three-point shooting team. It absolutely should not be the the focus that it is.  They?re cruising at the moment but Cavs will come back and Cs will stick with the three when it stops falling.

Interesting challenge. Not sure how that works with the rules. He definitely hit ball first, but he also had a lot of contact after that that should be called a foul.

Yeah, a dumb challenge.

[Vermont Green]

Celtics not even playing at their best. This is encouraging so far. I don?t like the challenge. Seems like a 50-50 play.

[bello_man09]

tatum chill with the 3s.

[jpotter33]

Cleveland feels like they're really coming back down to Earth now that they're not shooting above their heads from a super high volume of threes.
