Celtics (2-0) at Cavaliers (0-2) ECF Game #3 5/19/18

[blink]

as aggravating as the C's have been with their head-up-their-ass play tonight, they're not as aggravating as listening to ESPN's broadcast bunch salivating over Lebron.  Absolutely hate Mark Jackson and SVG.

tp!
are there any streaming radio broadcasts of the game?

[BASS_THUMPER]

literally nothing we are doing is working right now.  Rozier and Tatum have at least tried to get to the rim, we can't hit shots, we are not playing smart def, everything going in for Cavs.

Do we have an amazing comeback in us today? 

yes

but dont BLINK

you might miss it

*sippin*

[KGs Knee]

We’re simply sleepwalking through the game.  Had we played with any force whatsoever they would have caved.  But we just let them off the hook and are giving them a frebie.

Not surprising that the team down 0-2 is playing with more desperation. That's usually how it goes.

[BlastFromThePast]

Yeah, guys, how about we stop switching guards on bigs... Not that difficult of a concept, especially when they're not really forcing the switch...

That's on MM who has released too quickly and easily to the G who's getting beat up inside on the mismatch.  It's also on CBS for not using TO's to get somebody else in and slow the Cavs' down.

[GreenEnvy]

Brutal effort thus far. Settling on offense for the most part. Defense non-existent.

Still plenty of time to cut into this, get it under 15 going into half, chip away in the 3rd, get it into single digits.... get them uneasy.

Right now Cleveland is too loose.

I've seen us come back many times at half time. We can do it

we cannot keep those comebacks coming over and over. sooner or latger we need to play smart for 4 quarters to avoid these holes. we are our own worst enemy

[jpotter33]

Yep. So after two superb defensive efforts, we inexplicably change the defensive assignments and philosophy, leading to significant confusion and miscommunication on the perimeter on switches and screens, which has cascaded to the defensive issues we're currently seeing.

Dumb, dumb decision. Clearly a case of overanalyzing something and trying to fix something that isn't broken...

[droopdog7]

still time to make it single digits before the half

Its going the wrong way.  We’ll be down 25 by the half.

[BringToughnessBack]

3rd quarter score Celtics 34 - Cavs 9. 🍷

[Phantom255x]

At this point, bring this deficit back to about 15 and regroup at halftime.

Or... just let CLE push this lead past 25 and call it a night.

[ozgod]

Cavs can do no wrong.  At the half Stevens needs to demand their man cards and make a call to a urologist about a group rate for getting his players some balls.

. Brad needs to give them a good spray at halftime and tell them to play for pride

Of course. They aren't playing organized basketball like the first 2 games. Almost every player are forcing tough, contested shots.

[CelticsBR]

Did the Cs make any AND-1 yet?

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

ok first it was just get it to 9, then 15, next will be 25 lololololololol
