Celtics (2-1) at Cavs (1-2) ECF Game #4 5/21/18

[CelticSooner]

It really feels like the only reason this team won a road game is because Philly out dumbed them. The shots don't fall and then they become tentative.

[Neurotic Guy]

Great reception by Lebron even with 2 C's (including Smart) playing corner/safety.

C's need a run to weather this quarter.

[Jack_Frost]

Cavs always play pnr on rozier... always. We have no amswer... please BS do something

If you want go to finals you have to make those shots. I really miss irving now

[CelticD]

Jesus Christ, Brad, can you really not reign in these dumb freaking Smart threes?

He usually starts hitting at some point. But it's becoming very worrisome.

He's trying to be a sparkplug but that's just not his game.

[RGow8]

Can we please get Brown the ball more on offense instead of Rozier and Smart chucking jumpers? They need to be better point guards.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

once this celtics team can play smart ball for 4 quarters we will be unstoppable.

why do we keep going back to stupid ball?

[knuckleballer]

love Smart but right now I'd bench him for the game.  nothing but stupid play since he went in the game

Agreed.  We were taking the ball to the hoop before he came in.  Not with much success, but we need to continue doing that.  He's not just missing, but is taking us out of our offense.

Just more stupid basketball from the C's.

I'd love to see us switch up our PnR coverage once in a while.  It's blatantly clear that Cleveland is just seeking out switches and exploiting the mismatch.  Throw a wrinkle in there once in a while Brad.  What we're doing now is not working.

Yep, and worse than that, they're not even forcing the switches. We're just walking right into it...

Yeah cavs are exploiting the switches.  Terry getting caught a lot on Lebron or TT.  We can't have Rozier one on one defending Lebron / Love / TT in the post, gotta fight through the screens and at least keep the appropriate defender on them.

[Frezz]

Marcus Smart making himself more affordable for the Celtics going forward with each passing game.

[Neurotic Guy]

Cavs quicker to the ball all quarter.

we need a run down 8 or we will be blown out again. we cannot get or hold a lead in cleveland

[knuckleballer]

Ojeleye has been our best player so far.  Yikes.

15 points in the 1st quarter...

Tatum was hacked-
