 The Celtics scored more points in the first quarter than the Cavs did in the entire first half. #RingerNBA

i just thought you might want to see this.

Huge quarter coming up here. Cavs will try to make adjustments and come out hard. If we can maintain this lead through the 3rd quarter, they are done.

[Roy H.]

Best. Half. Ever.

This could well be the end of an era

It’s only the first half but I am starting to believe this team might do it.  The 6er were the hottest team in the league and we took them out in 5 and it should been a sweep if it weren’t for the 8 on 5 in game 4.  Keep the pedal to  the medal in the second half.

Way too early.  Even if the celts win this one, all Cleveland has to do is win the next one and they’re in the drivers seat.  And didn’t Indiana also win game one handily, in Cleveland? 

Long long way to go. But at least we know it won’t be easy.

Another strong 3rd quarter probably means Lebron sits the 4th.

[Beat LA]

I have to wonder which one of their players Cavs fans hate the most.  Love? JR Smith?  Clarkson?

It would be pretty funny if Nance Jr. held the title of whipping boy for them, lol .

Jaylen Brown learned a lot facing LeBron last year in the ECF.  He is really stepping up.

I don’t want to be fooled by one half of basketball, but it looks mighty promising.

[Hank Finkel]

Pretty unbelievable how bad these guys are on defense.  Smart taking Clarkson at will.

what about offense? They're like 0-12 from 3 lol. Maybe our defense is that good

They had a couple of open looks but the ball doesn’t always go in.  I expect the Cavs to play better in the second half but I don’t expect Lebron to exert to much energy unless the game gets close.  He will be gearing up for game 2.

holy cow, the raptors must suck

Why can’t it be the Celtics are great? What does it benefit Cs for the Raptors to suck?

What we're seeing is the difference between a mentally strong team (Celtics), and a mentally weak team (Raptors). Also, coaching.....

can't the celtics be great and the raptors suck?

what am i missing?

You implied that the raptors suck because Cs are winning..you know what you meant. Carry on...

[BASS_THUMPER]

jalen is trash

now he showin love?

[CelticsElite]

Rozier and smart has their guards shook:

George Hill 16 minutes, 0-1 from the field 0 points 0 rebounds 0 assists 0steals 0 blocks

Wow. Dude is way more consistent in disappearing in big games than not. Unbelievable.

[hwangjini_1]

Just keep up!!!! We are rollim. Brad not getting a vote...shut down the award please

yeah, but i bet cleveland is happy they dont have to face the coach of year in this round. 

[CelticsElite]

Anyone else loving the truth showing off in the half time show?

"told you so" he says
