The Celtics are winning Game 2

[the TRUTH]

I still don't think we can win this series, but have a good feeling about Game 2.

Despite what the players said about believing they could win the series, I think there was a psychological component at play in Game 1 where the Celtics felt like everything had to be perfect. That led to the players pressing more than usual and not being themselves.

Our defense was absolutely atrocious for much of the first game. Some of that was due to how talented the Cavs are, but you have to think that it'll improve in this game once our heads are right. We also missed a ton of open looks early in the first game. If we'd made the shots we normally make in the first game, the entire complexion of the game changes. Lastly, I'm sure the players have heard the media's narrative that the Celtics are completely outclassed in this series, and this team thrives when everyone doubts them. I think we'll play better defensively, shoot better and be more consistent with that nasty/maniacal effort that we saw late in the third quarter of Game 1. I also wouldn't be surprised to see some more skirmishes tonight. This team has too much pride to go quietly, and I think it'll pay off with a W tonight.

Lol who cares , we are too busy trading #1 picks for Cousins and Davis

[CelticsElite]

Celtics want nothing to do with cousins. Plus cousins current value apparently is a late 1st rounder if that

They're gonna need to shoot about 50% on three pointers to do it.  Here's hoping.


I really hope Brad has a better gameplan for preventing LeBron getting to the rim than he did in Game 1.

That was just plain embarrassing.  No resistance whatsoever.

 If maybe one or two Celtics get ejeccted for fighting and take Lebron ...they could win.

Don't fret. Once olly rips lebrons arm off, the Celtics will have an easy series.

Mavericks beat the Heat with a zone. Maybe something we should consider for a short time.

Mavs had an enforcer in the rim in Tyson Chandler.
