Cavaliers (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) ECF Game #1 5/13/18

[Surferdad]

Awful awful end to the quarter. Love comes alive with LBJ on the bench. Then, no awareness of the 2-for-1, then a terrible job on the O boards leading to a Cavs buzzer beater.  Terrible sequence

[CelticsElite]

The cavs won a playoff game last year down 25... lebron and love has been there before

[BitterJim]

14 - 8 fouls now  We're still attacking the rim as much as Cleveland, yet we don't get the same calls.

Thats gonna happen all series. You need to just get over it, already.

I'll get over it when the refs stop playing favorites

[blink]

This is why a 28 point lead is a good thing.  We can score 17 in the quarter but are still up by 14.  Gotta keep going to the rim, way too many 3's.  Cavs can't guard us individually.  Keep attacking the rim and we will win.

as always playing 4 quarters is a huge problem for this team

How many quarters have the Cavs played?  Remember, two teams on the floor.

[Tr1boy]

CBS fault on that 3rd quarter

stop switching on the pnr

on offense, stop taking jump shots

[Yoki_IsTheName]

This could be the time LeBron takes over.

We gotta scoee on our next few possessions here to add some pressure.

[Vox_Populi]

As long as they don't play too tight, they'll be fine. Cavs are still a bad defensive team. Trade baskets, and you can survive.

[hpantazo]

Jaylen cooled off a bit in that quarter. It was going to happen.

[LarBrd33]

14 point lead ain’t crap against king James. He’s in the drivers seat here.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

get back to what worked. GET TO RIM AND MAKE REFS CALL FOULS

we owned them down low

do we have amnesia now?

[kraidstar]

That third quarter was an old-fashioned choke-job.

The good news is the Cavs aren't very good.

[mr. dee]

The cavs won a playoff game last year down 25... lebron and love has been there before

They also have Kyrie last year.

[Boris Badenov]

We had good looks and missed them.

Defensively, we need to minimize the switches onto Lebron and Love with Smart/Rozier.

Take care of that and we will win. Those shots will start falling.

The other team doesn't suck.  They were terrible in the first half but they also swept Toronto and have 2 guys the Celtics have never been able to guard.
